What an awful situation in a truly failed country.
Have you been there?
No different to the appalling atrocities that are carried out in Syria under our noses by Western backed “moderate” rebels.
Frank, can you not just say that it’s bad?
Or should I refer to you as abbilitive?
Declan Noonan both are bad but I must admit that the one that I mentioned is far more appalling than the other because it has been carried out in the name of democracy by a so called civilized nation.
Nobody has to go there to know what it’s like! Yes of course there are good parts like anywhere else. Slowly the cartels will take over them too! It’s people like you that know nothing about Mexico and it’s horrific violence.
Go google Mexican drug cartel images and come back here!! The tourist areas are safe the rest isn’t! When the cops are part of the problem what hope do they have prey tell.
I would not go to Mexico, even as a corpse….
Outside of the gated areas, it’s a cesspit of a country.
Probably not,but he is able to read
Humanity at its most depraved
Mexico is mental.
Homicide rate is something like 1 in 5000. In ireland that would be close to 1000 people a year.
Tragic. Young innocent aspiring students lives savagely taken away by sick, evil creatures
That’s what’s truly scary. Those were just students. The majority of killings are drug related. This wasn’t. Very strange for Mexico. Nothing shocks me over there but that really does. These new bodies will be drug related. The note says it all. The poor students were really shocking and very sad. The rest,they just kill each other over drugs and areas. Nothing new really.
We must keep these people out of Europe. All non EU immigration must be severely curtailed.
There is no z in organised. Petty and off topic i know but im not sure whats worse journalists who cant proof read or journalists who turn the country location to ireland.
Breaking bad has a lot of truth in it by the look,s of things
have your say
