According to the search results, at least 37 Mexican candidates were assassinated during the 2024 election season, surpassing the previous record of 36 killings during the 2021 midterm elections. The security consultancy Integralia documented 828 non-lethal attacks on candidates as well.
So Trump becoming a criminal is actually not even close to how long and deep the barrel gets.
It makes winning be such a freeing feeling of not being actually being dead. Heck I would be ecstatic too if it was me. But also worried about when it might happen. I hope it doesn't end bad. I hope this changes Mexico so I can visit it one day in the far far future before I croak.
Comes out to 13.39 per 100k pop per year, lower than Mississippi 20.7, Louisiana 19.8, Alabama 14.9, or New Mexico 14.5.
Edit: Googling suggests a rate of 25 in 2022 for Mexico, so that total must be low.
Holy shit. I had no idea it was that bad in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and New Mexico.
New Mexico isn't that bad, 290 out of 2 million people, especially since its a drug corridor it's pretty good
Yet that’s several times the rate in comparably sized areas in Europe.
and IIUC, some Mexican states are safer/more dangerous than others.
