Cartel hitmen are murdering rivals and terrifying residents across Mexico's second city Guadalajara as it prepares to host the Pan American Games in a deepening of the country's drugs war.
Gunmen firing automatic weapons torched vehicles and blockaded roads in the once-peaceful city this month, the most brazen act so far and an echo of the violence ravaging Mexico's northern border.
Guadalajara is the capital of the western state of Jalisco, home to Mexico's mariachi music and tequila, and was for long spared the beheadings and drive-by shootings tainting other areas of the country.
But drug killings in Jalisco more than doubled last year to almost 600, with about half of them in Guadalajara.

Drugs violence has already engulfed Monterrey, a similar size city to Guadalajara in terms of its economy and population, prompting some companies to freeze investment.
Grenade attacks, shootings and blockades are now a daily affair in Monterrey, which is Mexico's most modern city and was once seen as a beacon of order and prosperity.

Much like communism where I don't need to read the fucking Communist Manifesto to know I don't agree with it, I don't need to go down and WITNESS the ongoing, daily, country-wide violence to know that it's happening. You want to keep your head firmly entrenched up your ass (where it is about 95% of the time), so be it. Feel free to use the interwebs and a thing called "Google". It's your friend.
Hell, you're still convinced Guadalajara and Monterrey are like going to Disneyland, despite reams of evidence to the contrary.
And here's a little ditty on your haven known as Mexico City:

Three aspects of the stories are particularly ominous. First, until recently, Mexico City and its suburbs were largely immune from the gruesome battles among rival cartels. The incident of 11 bodies being dumped in Chalco, just outside the national capital, though, is the latest confirmation that Mexico City’s immunity is largely a thing of the past. The reality is that violent incidents there have been on the rise since late 2010. This new atrocity should shatter what remains of the complacency among the city’s political and economic elite.

Re: Mexican interests inquire about NCAA Division II members
What evidence have you posted that the violence in Mexico is country wide?
Yeah, 34,000 deaths is a shitload. No doubt. BUT, IT'S CONCENTRATED IN VERY FEW AREAS. You post that there have been 300 deaths in Guadalajara. That's nothing.
I'm not saying the entire country is safe and there is no problem whatsoever. I'm saying the violence isolated.
You're saying the whole country is a warzone. And you are fucking wrong.

Re: Mexican interests inquire about NCAA Division II members
Gruesome murders appear to be commonplace in Mexico. The severed heads of eight men found in pairs along highways in Durango. Seventeen people massacred at a birthday party in Torreon. The bodies of 55 people found dumped in a mine near the town of Taxco.
Mexicans and their American neighbors are being bombarded by news of shootouts, bombings, kidnappings and executions as drug smugglers battle each other and the government for control of the narcotics trade.
But a closer look at the latest official statistics indicates that much of Mexico has modest murder rates. The horrific violence that is jacking up the national death toll is largely in nine of Mexico's 31 states.
Despite a wave of killings in these states, the murder rate in 2009 was still lower than it was a decade before, long before the Mexican government began a crackdown against the cartels.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2010 ... ence_N.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The statistics show that the most deadly violence is happening in northern Mexico close to the U.S. border where smuggling occurs, and in the states where marijuana and heroin are produced. Also:
•The state with the lowest murder rate is Yucatán, the Gulf of Mexico state known for its beaches and Mayan ruins. Its murder rate of 2 per 100,000 was comparable to Wyoming and Montana.
•Washington, D.C.'s murder rate is nearly quadruple that of the Mexican capital, Mexico City. Washington's murder rate was 31.4 per 100,000 people in 2008; Mexico City's rate in 2009 was 8.

Yeah, there might be pockets of safety in Mexico, but it's only a matter of time before they, much like your much ballyhooed examples of Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara, are overrun with the violence that is firmly entrenched in 2/3rds of the country.

Violent crime in Washington, D.C. has declined 46% since 1995. Property crimes have dropped 46.3%. From Wikipedia:
Christ, it's a bed of tranquility compared to your example of Guadalajara.There were 181 murders and non-negligent homicides in Washington, D.C. in 2007, and 131 homicides in 2010, the lowest such tally since 1963
