Between the spike in homicides and frequent drugging of women within resorts I'm amazed people still go down there.

- godzillabrennus 7y agoLargest hackathon in the world is in Guadalajara Mexico.
- sbarker 7y ago*Saudi’s Hajj Hackathon
- lostmsu 7y agoWhich one is it?
- hombre_fatal 7y agoProbably Campus Party. Cool event.
- JED3 7y agoWhat's the name of the event?
- tdfx 7y agoThere's also a very active community called "HF Guadalajara" ("Hackers & Founders") which holds regular events.
- reidjs 7y agoMany people are smart enough not to be swayed by fear based news. You’re 100x more likely to die in a car accident on your commute tomorrow than by a cartel member in Mexico as a tourist.
- YZF 7y agoThe murder rate in Mexico is >20 per 100K per year. The car crash death rate in the US is around 11 per 100K per year. So you're almost certainly not x100 likely to die in your commute tomorrow. I've been to Mexico and I felt reasonably safe but it's a lot less safe these days and it's just not the safest place in general.
- reidjs 7y agoThanks, but I meant as a foreigner you are less likely to be murdered. It is in their best interest to keep tourists safe and happy.
- hueving 7y agoIn whose best interests? Because it's really only the cartels that matter since the law has no grip on them. And the cartel doesn't care about keeping tourists safe and happy.
- pablasso 7y agoOf course they care. Every tourist killed brings more attention to them than needed, if the person was high profile enough it can bring enough international pressure for the government to take them down.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoCould you break down the murder rate by places people actually visit? I don't look at homicides in Chicago (19 per 100k) when planning a trip to Austin.
- hsitz 7y agoI don't think many people worry about the homicide rate in Chicago when planning a trip to Chicago. Similar thing to Mexico, the homicides are contained within a pretty specific subpopulation.

- xtracto 7y agoStill not as bad as schools in the US. Those places are scary according to the news.
- quest88 7y agoHow frequent are the druggings? What percent? I'm curious how it compares to the US and if it's actually dangerous.
- dlhavema 7y agoI'm guessing they are talking about A) steal your kidney B) sex slave/rape type thing C) both A and B Type of druggings
