Gentlemen you are not looking at the big picture!
It is unsafe anywhere you happen to live, be it Canada, the united States of America or the United States of Mexico (that is Mexico's official name) or any other country in the world.
Unfortunately the gangs and the drugs are destroying every aspect of society,
when drug users have $200 dollars a day need for drugs, theft goes up first they start with the home and family and then they graduate to bigger heists if they do not overdose, then you have the gangs and they fight for control of the area where they sell and proceed to destroy every one they touch be it near or far.
Statistics and reports of murders do not have innocents and bad guys separate they lump all together in one report, so the death toll is not broken down and most of the time there is a lot of information that is used by the media and sensationalized in order to sell more stories, they are all aiming for the Pulitzer price with one big story and ordinary persons assume the worst from what they read, the internet is full videos and blogs that do not help, they can not get their facts straight and make up a lot of misleading stories as fact when they are completely wrong, how many of you in Canada or the USA know how many are actually murdered in those countries, by gangs or drug dealers alone , not robberies gone bad, or crimes of passion, or domestic disputes gone bad? not many of you, right? are you safe in your city or town, yes as long as you do not go to the seedy side of town, right?
Whether you travel outside of your comfort zone or not, or travel to Mexico or not is your choice, there are those that do like to travel to other countries and we enjoy that, so please do not berate Mexico because you think it is too dangerous, there are a lot of very educated and wealthy people in Mexico that do not like to go to the United States, they think that it is very dangerous, they prefer to go to Europe, dang for that matter even Canada is safer according to them, so you see there is always one in the crowd that believes that every one in the States carries a gun, the OK corral is alive and well in the streets of America, blame that on Hollywood and the American TV, for that matter there are a lot of Europeans that prefer to go to Mexico or Canada instead off the States they are afraid of going to the United States of America.
Tourist are safe in Mexico, there are areas in some towns that make a living by catering to tourism and will help and assist a foreigner in any way they can when the need arises, you are safer in Mexico than your town, if not go to your local police or sheriff and get them to give you some statistics on the events in town, ADVICE take extra underwear you will need it!
Crime is every ware you can find it in any place you look, if you know were and what you are seeing!
Be alert and be safe out there.
