I am a little shocked that chapala.com would carry stories of crime against gringos that could affect real estate sales and touris. Yet this poster, Linda, claims as much in her post. Tourists are crime magnets. It happens all over the world and yet Gringolandians will go through all manner of mental acrobatics to explain it away.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.

HI Everyone,

Twice this week on chapala.com I read about people being assaulted in broad
daylight, two with guns, with two being injured by the perpetrators. Until
there was blood, noone lifted a hand to help one of the victims. In two of the
attacks, cars were sought; the third was apparently done by someone high on
drugs. Two were in Ajijic area; one in Jocotepec.

Does Lakeside still seem like a safe place to live? Even New York isn't like
this!!! I sure don't want to have to be afraid all the time whether out and
about or in my home! Any wisdom on this? I'm thinking other places in Mexico
might be much better to live in.

Linda
