OT: Juarez -- do you go? If so, where?

[MineroFanatico]

I'm pretty damn white, not like wonder bread white, but I'd say American-ish looking. I'm also pretty damn hyper aware of my surroundings, especially when I should be. My friend, who is an influential guy in the EP community, assured me that it would be safe to cross over. I had my reservations about it, but went based on his word. Never did I feel any kind of threat what-so-ever, nor did I even feel out of place while I was in J-Town. Things have obviously changed. Not to how they used to be, but for the better when compared to just a few years ago.

We don't know if they were involved in some type criminal activity, people just don't get shot for no reason. There are some people who happen to be drug dealers who happened to live in El Paso.

The evidence points to a planned attack on those two men and not some random shooting of tourists.

 

[unihorn]

I know, but I ate there Sunday. This kind of thing makes it hard for Juarez businesses to draw gringos back.

 

[allminer]

8 shots apiece does not scream random shooting. Still, not quite ready to go back. Hopefully soon.

 

[alvinosports]

We're all going to die one die, and we can die any day, any way. The way I see things I think I have a far more probability of dying on I-10 than getting shot in Juarez.

Well, sometimes they target innocent family members.

And sometimes you just have bad luck and are in the wrong place at the wrong time when something goes down.

Being UTEP fans, we are born with bad luck.... LMAO

And sometimes they don't know how to aim and kill innocent people

Not with eight shots.

If you've been a Miner fan long enough, and I know you have old fella, then you've experienced your fair share of good luck, as well. We just happen to be in a 25 year drought.

Ouch. That hurt. True, but still....

Ahhh, apologies then. I'm just distinguishing between the old breed of Miner fan and the new. After visiting with you, I figure you have to be at least 35 (cough).

Just heard some Utep student got killed in a Juarez . yeah sure it's safe.

If you hang out and or are involved with Azteca crystal meth dealers these things happen.

Apparently the UTEP student was involved in a crystal drug ring.
