      What community was that? I want to check the mod log to confirm and then possibly block the community. I don’t want to subject myself to a news feed that prevents people from sharing straight facts.

      There were 50 Mexican political candidates assassinated in 2018, but obviously we’re only halfway through 2024 with more than half that, so…

      I travel a lot and met a girl from Mexico who said that I had to visit, and I was like I don’t know man, there is a disproportionate amount of kidnappings and violent crime specifically against tourists in Mexico.

      And she was like no. I swear it’s safe. I grew up there my whole life until I moved away at 30, and I never had a problem, and I was around gangsters and people like that all the time because my dad was the police chief.

      I was like yeah man, I might have an inkling as to why you didn’t get pushed around as much.
