      There were 50 Mexican political candidates assassinated in 2018, but obviously we’re only halfway through 2024 with more than half that, so…

      I travel a lot and met a girl from Mexico who said that I had to visit, and I was like I don’t know man, there is a disproportionate amount of kidnappings and violent crime specifically against tourists in Mexico.

      And she was like no. I swear it’s safe. I grew up there my whole life until I moved away at 30, and I never had a problem, and I was around gangsters and people like that all the time because my dad was the police chief.

      I was like yeah man, I might have an inkling as to why you didn’t get pushed around as much.

      What community was that? I want to check the mod log to confirm and then possibly block the community. I don’t want to subject myself to a news feed that prevents people from sharing straight facts.
