Nearly 50 killed in weekend of violence
Numbers are adding up to make 2017 the most violent on record
In Mexico.
Sixteen people were killed in Baja California Sur on Friday and Saturday including a one-year-old infant who was caught in the crossfire in an attack at a restaurant in the state capital La Paz. It brought the number of people killed in the state last week to 35.
I have a nephew working in one of the resort hotels there and find myself concerned for his safety. I routinely check in with a discussion forum in Baja and am not surprised to find them ignoring most of this as not affecting them.
