I just got back from a week in Laredo, TX, right on the border across from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. I had no troubles at all. Granted I'm a big guy, so factor that into the equation if you feel it's necessary. However, nothing happened to any of the "frail" people around me either.
Regarding the latest PM, I don't know the girl, but for these things to keep happening in different places...
I hate to be so blunt about this, but I'm drawing a few conclusions based on an acquaintance of mine that kept winding up in situations that are similar, or rather reported being in similar situations. I eventually, after witnessing what would later become the latest drama, understood that my friend was an attention seeker and fairly clueless about what a dangerous situation was.
Then again, some people attract trouble like a magnet, so who knows.
[sarcasm]In the end it's a good thing no white folks ever give her any problems...[/sarcasm]
