It’s a world apart from the United States. Journalism’s a damn minefield when cartels are in play. One wrong report, one bad contact, and you’re a dead man walking in this silent war. Stay sharp or pay the price!
We were approached by a woman in her 30s or 40s, who asked for help for her family. The best we can do in these cases, as Oscar mentioned, is to avoid helping because we could put ourselves in danger. They killed part of her family; they are not the best people in town.
