How many of you are affected by the war between the Crips and the Bloods and other gangs in The U.S.A. in your travels to and from work, shopping, vacation?
Aren't they fighting over the control of drug traffic in their areas as well?
Why does the U.S. media not report on these activities and instead would rather spend it's resources on developments between gangs in Mexico?
This was posted on another forum -
Just had two friends return from Baja Mexico and they loved it. They said they felt safe and foreigners were in many of the towns they came across. Many from Europe, U.S. and Canada. They commented on how friendly the locals were and how people went out of their way to give them direction or tell them about cool places.
In one instance a local man invited them to his small house outside of town where they could camp. The man spoke perfect English and said that he worked and lived in Wisconsin with his family for 7 yrs and finally decided to return back to Mexico because he thought the States were to violent and dangerous for his family. One of the reason was that his kids school in Wisconsin was near his bank which had been robbed twice while he was there. In the years he has been back his bank in Mexico has never been robbed he said. Another reason was that one of the kids in his children's Wisconsin school went missing and was feared to have been abducted.
I say go where ever you want to go within reason. There will always be nay sayers on everything you do. Some people spend their lives doing things. Others spend their lives telling people why they can't or shouldn't do things. Be conscious and cautious in whatever you do and wherever you go in any part of the world and you'll experience minimal problems, as well as, a life that has been lived to it's fullest.
