They are welcome to come sit on the border in Harlingen at night and listen to the sporadic automatic gun fire. You know, the guns they buy at the gun show in Texas.

Didn't we have some guy who tried to ride a motorcycle across central and South America and was murdered?

Yep, it was a friend of a member here and an advrider.  I think they found pieces of him in black plastic bags.

That said, there have been thousands that have pulled it off without a concern.. and others that were threatened and felt that they barely made it through with their life intact.

Wrong place, wrong time.

The only reason there are cartels full of bad people is because of the war on drugs. I learned this here in GD.

Cuz if the business model and profit potential of the cartels is removed by legalization then they’ll come to the US and start stealing flatscreen TVs from our living rooms and kidnapping our daughters for ransom from elementary schools. Legalization is bad, see? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it myself, but it must be so.

This.  Going to unfamiliar third world shitholes with "the girls".  Walking around exploring in unfamiliar third world shitholes by herself at night.  Going swimming in questionable waters alone at night.

This sounds like many other stories where someone didn't think the world be like it be, only to find out that, in actuality, it do.  Inevitability finally caught up with her.  If it didn't happen here, it would have happened while she was riding a bike through Dhurkistan or hiking trails in bumfuck Panama or getting lost in Chicago.

Around two in the morning on Tuesday, a large mobilization took place that included personnel with Civil Protection and the Firefighters, the municipal Police, the Red Cross, and the Mexican Navy, in response to an emergency call that a woman had fallen into or entered the waters of the Caribbean Sea and had not returned to shore.

After hours of searching and finding nothing, it was suspected that it was a false alarm, since no one had been reported missing, however, a Naval boat continued to search on Tuesday morning, with no results. Officials, including the Director of Tourism and the Harbor Master hadn't received any reports of someone missing.

On Tuesday night around 10pm, a friend of the missing tourist appeared at the Prosecutor's office to file a complaint about her disappearance, which was sent to the Missing Person's Bureau in Cancun. Elizabeth M.S. said she had been staying at the Mia hotel with her friend, Caley Roberta Manning, 38, of Pennsylvania, who had not reappeared.

The office of the Public Prosecutor issued an ALBA alert with her photo, which was also distributed on social media by the municipal DIF. The case information was also sent to the federal office of the Procuradurías de la República.

When her disappearance came to light, there were many rumors, including that her body had been found by fishermen at el Cabezo (by Isla Contoy) which was not confirmed. According to Cristian Montenegro Aragon, coordinator of the Prosecutor's office of Investigation and Accusation, the version that seems most believable is that she was last seen in the (Tiny) Gecko bar, a short distance from the Rocamar hotel, after an argument with her boyfriend over the phone, who didn't accompany her on this vacation.

In her complaint, the friend said that when she heard the sound of the argument, she decided to leave the room, and when she returned, Ms. Manning was no longer there, so she went out to look for her, without success.

What the authorities are sure of is that the body has not appeared and the Prosecutor has no indication of the possible whereabouts of the foreigner, therefore, the Ministerial Police have been investigating the case among witnesses and the last people who saw Ms. Manning.

Several posts up:

"....the version that seems most believable is that she was last seen in the (Tiny) Gecko bar, a short distance from the Rocamar hotel, after an argument with her boyfriend over the phone, who didn't accompany her on this vacation.

In her complaint, the friend said that when she heard the sound of the argument, she decided to leave the room, and when she returned, Ms. Manning was no longer there, so she went out to look for her, without success."

Then from the OP article:

"One night she stayed out to explore the town on her own, according to Smith.

“The next morning her roommate contacted me and asked if I had talked to her, and I said no,” said Smith[the boyfriend]."

Huge difference in stories.

I spent about 12 hours in Mexico in 2017 on my honeymoon cruise and I see zero reason to go back.  Even in a “tourist” town, it’s a fucking third world shithole.

Bums literally fucking everywhere (worse than LA), bums manning the public restrooms (if you can call them that, some were actual holes in the ground in a building) demanding money to use them, drunk tour bus drivers, dudes selling drugs brazenly at this stupid tourist flea market.  Food wasn’t even that good.

That country and everyone in it can go eat a dick.

ETA:  My favorite part, was sitting at this little bar/restaurant in the touristy bar area of the city we were in.  They had a cop sitting at the entrance to this place who had a rifle.  Dude was drinking beers and walking around flagging everyone with the damn thing.  Then he leaned it up against a wall and disappeared for 15-20 minutes.  Fucking. Shithole.
