Playa Del Carmen: Getting more Dangerous?

Take a walk with me as I explain a violent incident that happened on 5th Ave on St. Pattys day and show you where it all went down.

sounds like a normal night outside the club where i live in victoria b.c every weekend...... nothing to see here.

Yea, Portland, OR is the same. Constant violence downtown. The thing that struck me differently with this fight though, is that the police didn’t get anywhere close, which could have some ominous implications. Thanks for watching

​@@theropemonster if you got paid what they do you wouldn't either.

I appreciate your intention but man - I live in a rather 'ritzy' area in Mexico. I've been here for over a decade. There is apparently a turf war going on at the moment. In the last 4 weeks, when the sun comes up, they have found 3 dead bodies on the side of the nearby 'walking path' - with apparent signs of violence. Today is Saturday. On Wednesday night at 10:30 I was awakened by 5-6 gunshots from a nearby bar. One guy sent to the hospital in bad shape. Apparently this week they gunned down a politician. No one ever does anything. It seems that a lot of time the violent crimes are committed by two men on a motorcycle. I'm generally up at 5am and in bed by 8pm so I'm not affected, but if I were a parent of a 20 something out on a date I would be very concerned.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. That’s kind of what I figured as far as why law enforcement didn’t respond. I guess I’ll do the same as far as my schedule! Much appreciated 🙏🏼

Police in Mexico are suppose to keep us safe! You"re kidding right?

[@theropemonster]

Yes it was sarcastic. They literally stopped me just last night for a “random check” on 5th Ave 😂😅. Such a joke.

[@adaml2932]

Do u live there?

[@theropemonster]

Yea, Puerto Vallarta before. Trying Playa for a while.

[@StephenWeppler]

Don't go down this road, I've enjoyed your videos till now but this literally happens everywhere including where i live, the cops get paid nothing with little to no training, I'd stand back and watch too, they'll get tired eventually. If this was cartel related at all it's election time and to be expected.

[@theropemonster]

I appreciate the insights and genuine feedback Stephen. You’ve got a great point… I’ve seen this to a much worse degree in Key West, FL. All the best to you my friend and thanks for watching.

That's f up, I love 5th Ave

[@theropemonster]

Yea, I was shocked. I hated to even film this video and be the bearer of bad news but everyone should be aware of this. Thanks for watching @Pawel33007

[@mattricci2981]

You’re on the bad end of 5th ave

[@theropemonster]

The fight happened on the “good part of 5th Ave” actually. Between 10th and 12th

[@moeamraniprotrainer]

10 & 12 is clubs drugs prostitutes and cartel.
