Is the threat of violence an issue for you, otherwise? Or is it overblown?

- cc101 5y agoMost of the violence is between drug criminals. At this time there is no significant threat to foreigners in Mazatlan. There is a substantial protection racket victimizing business owners. I do fear that once drugs in the US are legalized, local criminal activity will increase to make up for the lost revenue. In particular, I fear the possibility of having to pay for protection. Again, as of now there is no significant threat to foreigners other than the occasional threat of muggings which can happen in the US too.
