My wife is from Chihuahua. I never go with her when she travels to visit family. She has been close to gun battles twice in the past 3 years and it is very common for non hispanics to be followed from the airport and robbed or kidnapped. Most of this doesnt make the news becuase there is no one left who will report it, but those who live there know. The cartels kill reporters who talk about anything bad so it goes unreported. Anyone who lives there knows you never go anywheere where there are a lot of people you do not know and trust, and even then a gathering is dangerous. Many times they are looking for one guy and kill everyone in the house or party, only to find they have the wrong house or the guy they wanted was somewhere else, so they go to the next place and kill everyone there. Its worse than the wild west to me, its the 1800's wild west with cars and machine guns.
