  Sorry. Common meaning they have happened and will continue to happen.  As opposed to say...Costa Rica.  It's not Somalia but in terms of relative safety it is low on the list of popular tropical destinations.
context: 19 gang members and 10 law enforcement killed, how does the son walk away unscathed every time while so many others die? >
  
  The amount of power the cartels have is insane.
  Imagine pharmaceutical lobbyists, but they murder and maim you.
  The President of Mexico had him released (previously) to “avoid further bloodshed”.
  Overall, the legal system is delaying extradition because of “technicalities”. (Something I read in another article)
  I have a feeling if Mexico is ok with extradition they are making absolutely sure the paper trail is as strong as possible (meaning NO ONE can leak a damn thing to avoid deadly consequences for those who approve it) >
  
  Pharmaceutical lobbyists do murder a lot of people. >
  
  Murder people and destroy communities. >
  
  They've destroyed an entire generation from the opiate crisis alone. Conveniently, they sell the MAT drugs to help clean it up. Making tons of immoral dollars creating and cleaning up their mess. >
  
  Of course.
  Big business will always eat.
  They might be paying up 4 decades later, but those billions are priced in and the ones making the decisions are long gone. Can't replace the damage that has been done to generations of families and entire communities. >
  
  I live in this world. I am a product of this mess. I've suffered a 2 decade opiate addiction. I'm 13 months clean. But I'm still on 2mg of suboxe daily. A lot of that settlement money went to lawyers, of course, and went to help pay for treatment, therefore creating the opportunity to sell more treatment drugs. They are literally continuing their profiteering. My life and millions like me are destroyed. >
  
  lets see if they release him again >
  
  At this point, it should probably just be a drone strike on him while he's driving somewhere. >
  
  Cartels have enough power to wage a short civil war with the government. There's comes a point when you have to decide whether you're ever going to take the hard steps to root out the cartels from Mexico.
  I was just thinking that it might be in Mexico's and the US's interest to start treating cartels like illegal armies rather than just some street gang of kids. >
  
  Not illegal armies, they are terrorists. Give America the green light and shit will be done quick. >
  
  looking at the war in the middle east...i'm not sure we get things done quick. >
  
  but if you add those topics on top of the more stable government in mexico it might work, I think they avoid that route because of the risk of destabilization right on the border >
  
  Great, delay his extradition for 60 days so he has plenty of time to escape from prison like his father did. Bonus points for holding him in the same place his dad busted out from. 
  All those people died for nothing if he's not put away for good. >
  
  It also sends the message that if they just kill enough people they can put a halt to law enforcement operations. Pretty fucking chicken-shit. >
  
  See, that's what I'm confused by. They should have just extradited him the first time. Instead because the Mexican government conceded the first time, the cartel is just going to kill a bunch of people at an attempt to get Chapo Jr released again.
  It's kind of the exact reason why you can never negotiate with terrorists because of the precedent it sets for future terrorists. >
  
  Que to Mexican civilians living in there. "Some of you may die, but this is a sacrifice we are willing to make." >
  
  Imagine if your family member died bringing him in then their boss let him go. >
  
  Mexico is not a democracy. >
  
  This guy needs a Russian accident. >
  
  The ol' Slippy/Trippy >
  
  The ol’ Sippy the Polony Tea >
  
  if you’re going to fire a machine gun from a helicopter and kill 20 of their guys, shouldn’t you just shoot him while you’re at it and avoid this whole mess? >
  
  I’m headed to Mexico next month. Guess I’ll be keeping my head down >
  
  If he does get extradited, the cartel might kidnap US citizens in an attempt to negotiate a trade. I would stay out of the Sinaloa controlled zones. >
  
  Extradition wasn't "halted", due process of law has to be observed before he can be extradited. >
  
  It seems safer though to move him to the US as soon as possible. >
  
  Is this level of violence in mexico something we should be worried about?
  Its really not making the rounds -  i just see clips of the airplane and the helicopter gunship on reddit >
  
  Canada released travel advisory yesterday strongly recommending NOT to travel to Mexico and for Canadians in Sinaloa region to shelter in place >
  
  That is insane. I travelled to Mexico for the first time back in 2017 and it was amazing. Back then the only worry was if you went off the resort. Now we are advising against travelling to Mexico in general because of how bad it is getting? Shitty. >
  
  Gang violence has always been very present in tourist areas.  Mexico and specific regions rely so much on tourism dollars that most incidents don't get much airplay.  Note:  reporters are have very short life spans if they report on cartel violence.  Acapulco use to be the destination of most tourists but now it has one of the highest murder rates in the world.   Mexico is a narco country. All the way to the top.  Playa Del Carmen is the hot spot for tourists right now and needs heavily armed police/soldiers to make you feel safe.  Even with their presence attacks on busy beaches and on resort properties are common.  Personally I've taken Mexico off my destination list. >
  
  We just came back from Mexico (the capital and Playa). I understand there are ongoing issues in the country, but please stop spreading fearmongering and misinformation. Not at once did we feel uncomfortable in Mexico City even after dark. Everyone was friendly and kind, and we are already making plans to come back in 2023. >
  
  It is not “misinformation” you had a good experience and others didnt. Misinformation in deliberate spreading of false information >
  
  It’s misinformation that attacks on popular beaches are “common”
