OT: World Politics

I have a friend who lives there. She's been robbed at gunpoint (once while sitting inside a taxi when a bandito pulled up beside her on a motorcycle and stuck a gun throughthe window) about a half a dozen times in the last 5 years.

Of all of the things in the world that didn't happen, this is one of them.

Unless she walks daily through Tepito wearing expensive shit, this just isn't a thing that has happened. It happening once in the back of a cab I believe though, never take cabs in Mexico, the cab driver was in on it 100%.

There are famous street photographers from La Ciudad who carry 5K+ camera setups around with them on the regular and have like one robbery story after decades of shooting mexico city.

This story would be a bit of a stretch in TJ, never mind Mexico City. There are a pile of American cities more dangerous than Mexico City.
 
She has no reason to lie. I dont know what part of the city she lives in but she has a decent job at TV Azteca and has season tickets to Cruz Azul so she isn't living in a barrio.
