The Houston Chronicle released a database of 232 murders in Mexico that they claim were of citizens of the U.S.A.
http://www.chron.com/databases/mexicomurders If this list is accurate, and complete ( which I doubt it is ), it seems worth pointing out that 95 percent of the victims were Hispanic. One of the 10 or so Anglos, was with a hispanic that was murdered. And one Anglo was killed in a barfight over a woman. I am not making a racist comment, but only to point out that these statistics show an Anglo is relatively safe in Mexico. I guess you could say the same statement about Asians, or Blacks or others. It only goes back 7 years, but that may be to emphasize the recent violence. The only American caver I have ever heard of having been robbed, was by a taxi driver or the transit police ( los pinches transitos ) in Mexico City back in the 80's. http://www.facebook.com/pages/x-los-que-odian-a-los-pinches-transitos-ratas-/327127326829 David Locklear caver in Fort Bend County --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
