Dang, man. I'd love to visit Mexico and it's vast deposit of ancient archeological sites, but I'll just never feel safe enough to do so. It's probably quite safe to visit the tourist areas, as tourism brings in a lot of money for both the government and the cartels, but I'm just not interested in sitting around a gated community filled with drunk tourists.

It's the kind of stuff I imagine if you don't cause them trouble they won't bother with you.

The mayor though, probably had plans that made the cartels unhappy. Just look at how many people want Biden and Trudeau dead right now. Politics are dangerous if you piss off the wrong people.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
