Nickiesha's WayPublished 7 months ago in CriminalRevisiting My First Experience with Guns
When I tell people I actually feel safer in Tijuana, Mexico then my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky the general response is disbelief. How could that possibly be the case, Tijuana is the "murder capital of the world" right? Meanwhile Louisville is all America town, USA. Small(ish) city in the heart of the Midwest in Kentucky, known mostly for whiskey and for being home to some of the friendliest people in the country. While it may be hard to believe, it is actually true that I feel safer in the seediest parts of Tijuana, of which there are many, than I do on the streets of downtown Louisville, KY. The reason is simple. Guns are illegal in Mexico, and thus nobody (but for the police, the military, and the cartels) has them, or if they do, they keep them hidden away under lock and key at home. Meanwhile, in Louisville, KY it feels like everybody owns a gun and just about everybody is carrying a gun with them almost everywhere they go. In the year and a half I have lived in Mexico and been traveling to and through Tijuana regularly I have yet to hear a gunshot. In contrast, the past three times I visited Louisville, KY I was awoken in the middle of the night by the sounds of gunfire and police sirens, and I was staying in "nice" parts of town for each of those visits. Yes, there is violence in Mexico, but the thing people do not understand is that the average person here never sees it or feels it. Unless said average person is actually enganged in criminal activity of some sort they just do not come into contact with the people or places where violence happens. It is basically underground. The "war" between the police/military and the cartels is a secret war that the vast majority of people never see or feel. Meanwhile the war between criminals and police in Louisville, KY spills onto the streets constantly, and is always visible and innocent bystanders, who are often armed, are involved regularly.
