That's too bad. They don't bother the tourists, unless the tourists are looking for drugs or doing things they shouldn't do. Additionally, assassinations are targeted, so they don't have a shooting spree where 20 or 30 are hit with bullets when the intention was one person. Americans and Canadians have been coming to Acapulco for years and other than the gruesome reporting such as this one that happens 2 or 3 times a year, it's fine. There is violence in every country, and in yours, we do hear a lot about Chicago, Baltimore and NYC. It would certainly be a good idea for you to head south somewhere very soon as the bigger problem on the planet is arriving at a crossroad.
