this won't end until someone comes in to make it end...and by someone, I mean the good ole US military.  Far too much corruption and money involved to make it go away otherwise.

 

I'm sure there's lots of Americans/Canadians in high high authority getting a big ole slice of the action too

My neighbor's son lives in Mexico City and she goes to see him a couple of times a year. She claims she never feels in danger and the crime isn't as bad in the city as people think. You don't walk alone at night in rough neighborhoods and such but with common sense you are fine.

 

I think this type of gruesome murder stuff is more common closer to the US. Juarez e.g. is the murder capital of the world.

 

They also have a beach villa or something on the west coast where crime is nonexistent.

 

But I'm not going either.

Most of Mexico is pretty safe, the issue is closer to the border. On the other hand, in past years there has been a rise in kidnaping for ransom in Mexico and throughout areas on Central and South America. My last trip to Mexico City I went with my cousin to meet a friend of his from Penn State. Before we left the country, we had to take a hostage class. Our friend over there, her dad is an executive with Phillip Morris, so we spent the whole time traveling with bodyguards and 3-4 car convoys of bulletproof suburbans. The city has some areas that are very beautiful and look just like Spain although the green beetle taxis everywhere are pretty ugly. Further, as for safety, all the beach resort towns like Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Cabo are all very safe.

I was trying to verify what I said about resort town being safe and stumbled across this link, a lot of good info for anyone going and scary at same time.

Here are some excerpts:

-I think me and my girl were roofied at the Grand Oasis on a recent trip to Cancun

-He had severe injuries and we were told they could not do life saving surgery without credit card payment. Eventually they did surgery then demanded 50000 dollars before they would medically release him for air evac

-Drinks are spiked and that is not even news, but If you want first hand testimony I have that too. Females and males ending in rape.......

- If you get sick in Mexico... BEWARE of what they prescribe for you u. We thought we were safe because we were at a high end resort with medical staff on site. Not so

Here is link, all these stories are from past few months this year!

Please... the cartels know where the money is coming from and the last thing they want to see happen is the US to make Mexico persona non grata for American tourists.

 

I travel to Mexico a few times a year and have a great time. We hike, explore ruins, find remote cenotas for swimming, use the local taxis if need be... unless you act like the Ugly American you'll be fine.

 

At 6'6" you don't think I stand out in a crowd of Mexicans? I don't care, I speak a little of the language and enjoy their company.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
