[quote=deadzone][quote=deadzone][quote=desmond][quote=deadzone]I use Murder as an example because that is a crime that most certainly will be reported in the U.S. if it happens to an American tourist. You guys are all claiming that crime statistics are wortless since most crimes don’t get reported over there. That may be true (although you don’t really know that to be fact). Assuming that to be true, then murder is the only type of crime against Americans that we can hope to get accurately reported in the U.S.

Yet once again, nobody has provided evidence of a single American tourist murdered in Baja at any time.[/quote]

Remember that is must be a “white” person, browns don’t count. Right dz?[/quote]

Sure all colors count if they are actually tourists. Still can’t find an example can you?[/quote]

That said, I think it is safe to assume that few members of this forum are Mexican or Hispanic in general. So for the purpose of this discussion, the fact that murders of “non-hispanic” Americans in Mexico is virtually non-existant would suggest that it isn’t likely that anyone on this forum needs to fear for their lives if they cross the border.[/quote]

Nobody is “paranoid” or “non-adventurous” or “idiotic” not going to Baja. Just like you said it is a “crap-hole”. I just can’t see myself dropping by Hussongs to party or bringing my old sleeping bag to camp on the beach at my age. I don’t want to drive to Ensenada to stay at the Rosarita Hotel and buy curios. The big resorts further south are fine. But TJ, Ensenada etc. is for a younger crowd or old retirees along the coast. Also, I have heard they are still using the same strippers at the small strip joints in Ensenada that I used to go to in the 80’s…
