Holy Crap...Whats all the Violence in TJ bout?

[Naush...]

Sampson speaks the truth! I was just in la Zona yesterday and it was the last day of the Festival of Guadalupe and many, many people were there. Most of the folks were locals passing by the chicas. They were busy buying the Three Kings bread rings (Rosca de Reyes) for the Epiphany dinner. Seemed about as dull-normal as a place could be. Don't go down to TJ looking to score a kilo of dope, okay? You should be fine. Disclaimer: Of course, there are no guarantees and you could always find yourself in the wrong place and the wrong time and become an innocent bystander casualty. But that can happen anywhere in the world, not just TJ.

The violence is at an all time low I would say. It is still cartel on cartel and for sure is not on tourists. Not much to worry about if you are just visiting as a monger and not involved in the drug trade or kidnapping trade.

Damm, the publicity about heads hangin from bridges in TJ and other mindless hate and ViOlence is makin the image of TJ as a destination Location highly questionable...I love the Chicas, and the price$, but...dont want to come back wearin a "Columbian NeckTie" ! I am looking for alternative monger spot?
Laredo Boystown is probably worse; a group of 5 Mexican/Americans have been missing since Thanksgiving weekend there,,, There comes a point where cheap pussy aint worth it= IMHO
