A country where the law enforcement is afraid of the criminals, what could go wrong.

Familiarity does not equate to safety.

My father took us to Mexico in his plane several times a year in the 70’s and we had few problems. But when he drove there on his own later on he said it was no longer possible to travel through Mexico safely. He stopped because it was only a matter of time before tragedy would strike. You can do something risky 9 times but then that 10th time…the chute doesn’t open, the landing gear fails, or you walk into a convenience store at midnight during a robbery. Very sorry for this loss 😢

I don’t understand why any sane person would vacation in Mexico of all places.

I’m from California, and in the 1970’s my elderly neighbor was with 2 church friends taking an annual trip to Mexico to bring clothing and supplies to a church there. They never made it, and all 3 were found shot in the head inside the truck. Every thing that could be stripped, was taken.

Mayor of a town in Mexico you have a house in Mexico. You have a house in California and you’re in freight company sounds like a cartel hit to me.

Why would a couple go and visit an area *known for organized crime*?

[cindym]

I wouldn't go to Mexico if you paid me! It was dangerous and corrupt there in the 80's. I can't even fathom how dangerous it is there now! No thank you. RIP sweet couple.

If his family member is mayor say no more. That mayor in that area is corrupted. And they always go after the family members.

People need to stop traveling to Mexico, that rakes 29$ billion in tourism. Boycott Mexico airlines, cheap cosmetic surgery, and resorts.

Brother-in-law mayor ???? Sad truth they’re trying to send a message

[julietnalumansi]

Every year Americans die in Mexico but others keep vacationing there even after various warnings. Why?

[michelleslack]

Praying for comfort and healing for the families 🙏

[cyndeelou-ie]

I try to tell my kids not to go to Mexico for Vacation.They do not listen..

[badsinnoeka]

My child wanted to go to Mexico for a senior trip!! I forbid it and he has lots of family there!!’ ABSOLUTELY will NEVER HAPPEN!

[YouCanChangeYourWorldToday]

They worked in the FREIGHT industry?? Interesting 🧐🤔🤨

[angelirohival]

I’m from Mexico. I have many, many family members in Mexico. I would NEVER visit Mexico again . I see family through Facebook. The last time I was in Mexico was 2006, and I have no regrets not going back.

[DanielOrtegoUSA]

As I watch this, I can’t help but think about some unfortunate person in America who’s likely planning a trip to Mexico for a similar reason. Tragically, they might end up like others who mistakenly believe Mexico is a safe destination. ☠️

[doublebreasted]

I'm sorry this happened. I wish they'd been protected and that the unnecessary violence would STOP!
