      What another You Tuber did in another genre, is open a Go Fund Me page . He used his You Tube name and asked for donations for a new computer . He got $1800 in three days and then shut down his GFM page . He then filmed when he bought the iMac desktop and when he unboxed it at home 🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺. I think you’d get the same support he did .

      I agree. He’s very committed to his subscribers and his channel. He should have at least a million subscribers. So many horror and true crime channels that have the amount of subscribers he has along with a patreon account slack off to the point video uploads go from once or twice a week to every other week or sometimes longer. They live off their subscribers and viewers without having to do much work.

    Scariest thing about México? Our judicial system
    Also, that fucking ghost in your house that likes to slam doors and pull your covers at night and doesn't even leave when you slam the cacerolas.
    But really, worse thing about México: apathy. There are people that can be good and help you when you need it, but most of the times they turn around and pretend that nothing's happening. It sucks that violence and crime are so common that people no longer feel like changing things, they no longer feel like helping others, it's really sad and scary.

      I live in Mexico, I think there is still a lot of empathic people out there, yesterday my aunt's neighbor's house caught on fire and today people from all over the city came to help them, by giving them money or daily necessities. You say that people most of the times turn around and pretend that nothing's happening but I don't think that's true as I've met and seen quite a lot of selfless people in my life.
      I think that the worse thing about Mexico is the hopelessness that comes from being unable to change the status quo as a normal citizen and how the government has been handling the narco situation in a lot of cities as well as the constant corruption and poverty.

    These stories are so horrific and depressing. I really wish the best for Mexico. It is such a beautiful country and many of the people living there are incredibly kind and welcoming. I went on vacation there one time to the Yucatan peninsula. It was incredibly beautiful. Everyone we met there was extremely friendly. I really enjoyed my time and hope to visit again. It was a much safer area than Cancun but the signs of violence were still there. At the airport were security officers/military officers armed with assault rifles, and along the highway, I saw many wooden towers with soldiers in them, again armed with assault rifles. It was very unsettling. I hope Mexico can find peace and I wish the best for its people.

    Alright I remember a story my dad told me about the cartels. Basically there was this girl who was going to Mexico to do her quince, mind you, this girl was posting some stuff (I think in facebook?) like the house she had, where she was going to and what she was bringing with to Mexico. The cartels ended up seeing what she posted and kidnapped her of course, they called her parents and demanded a large amount of money from them seeing as what the daughter had and how big and beautiful their house was. The father said he only had 100k but they wanted 200k. The father asked If they can get their daughter back and they agreed.... They sent her to them but only half of her body.
    My guess is the same as yours if you're wondering which half of her they sent them, though I'm guessing they sent her upper body merely to traumatize them. I don't know much details same for my dad, he got this story from a co-worker and he probably got it from somebody else too. But please don't post personal stuff, especially where you are going to and stay safe!

    So many tragic stories. Having lived in El Paso, Texas (on the border with Juarez, Mexico) and in Columbus, New Mexico (about 2 miles from Palomas, Mexico) for some years, the things we saw and heard about is chilling. I am fascinated by these stories to this day....

    Not trying to get political here but these stories can provide a perspective as to why families and people would risk EVERYTHING to come to the US. If nothing else, I would hope these stories can invoke empathy among many of us to realize that we have it good comparably although yes the US has its own skeletons in the closet. Sadly, I feel in today's world, empathy for fellow man is near impossible so long as the narrative "us against them" continues to be pushed relentlessly.
