Rather not read any comments as I am sure they are racist and also from people whom have never left the comforts of their own Country. And I was always told to never confront someone with a gun. Oh, and I am thinking there was some Canadians at some point killed in the US and Americans killed in Canada. Not to be rude, but who cares. It happens I am thinking every second all over the world and unfortunately, Mexico takes so much damn heat when it happens here. UUUGH!!!!
Have to agree Tori, I could get killed tonight on the streets of Calgary, or rather have my apartment broken into and the result and motives for criminals in either place (robbery in this case) would be the same. It sounds like the man who was killed was at the home of someone who was probably pretty well off. If you are going to invade a home you are probably going to pick a nicer place where the loot is more plentiful. Needless to say this won't affect my decision on whether to travel to Cancun or not!
The Colima area is about as far away from Cancun as Phoenix is from New York. Tori, remember that we need to rename Scorpio to El Negativo, and he doesn't even live here.
Just as a heads up, you don't need to post things that have nothing to do with living in Cancun here. There is a 'free for all forum' as well on this site for things unrelated to the other forums. It's at the bottom of the main page, for politics, fun things, whatever you fancy. It's like me posting these in some forum about living in Ottawa - same country very different destination Man killed in a hail of bullets in Vancouver neighbourhood Global Toronto | Man shot and killed in east Toronto is city's first homicide of 2012 Quebec police seek clues after Acton Vale man dies in attack by three men Have a good one.
I bought my son the book, "Top Tens" for Xmas. Yesterday he said, "Dad, what's #1 of the top ten countries where tourists are murdered?" I said, "USA?" "Wrong. Mexico" I hate that f^*&ing book!
Is it published by Fox News? Of course, the volume of USA tourists to Mexico is probably far more than the volume to any other country I'd expect, except possibly Canada. So it would follow that the number of murders probably exceeds any other country too. Kind of like saying most USA citizens are murdered in the USA. I wonder how the numbers would look if they published figures as murders per 1,000,000 USA tourists. Very small I'd bet. Certainly, in the 7 years I've lived in Cancun there hasn't been a single murder of a USA Tourist as I recall, other than by their own family. How many US tourists have visited Cancun in that time and not been murdered Probably more chance of being struck by lightning and winning the lottery on the same day.
Yeah, I bet there's more American tourists killed while on vacation in San Diego, L.A., San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans and NYC than are murdered in Mexico - but is that in the book, "TopTen"? I doubt it.
