I've been to Mexico like 6 times.
The first 5 times were all excellent trips, wonderful places, wonderful people.
The sixth time, we were all literally robbed by Mexican police officers at the airport who claimed we couldn't leave the country without paying an "exit tax" of $200 USD each, and told us we either paid and got on our flight home or we didn't pay and they took us to prison.
I don't go back to Mexico now.
This is why we turn the corner when we see cops in Mexico lol
Some Mexican police stopped me and searched me for drugs while I was stumbling back to my Airbnb in Cabo.
But I had no drugs so continued back and went to sleep.
Hah the Mexican cops got me at traffic stop once.
Andrew Callaghan's Channel 5 has a few videos about migrants coming to America, and a couple of the people he interviewed mentioned being more scared of the Mexican police than the border patrol.
He actually goes to Mexico and hops the border back into America in one of his videos, I highly recommend checking him out.
Didn't he rape a bunch of women? Or was it just that he turned out to be super pushy when it comes to sex?
There was a drama or something, but at this point I can't be fucked to fact-check every accusation when so many people get accused of shit. I figure if it's really that bad I'll hear about it on here, Reddit, or someone else's YouTube channel.
Either way, his content is informative regardless of his past, so even if he were a rapist or some shit I'd just continue watching with adblock.
You mean, like, in the comment to which you just replied? Because you are hearing about it here...
You gave me two questions, telling me you had no clue yourself, that got -4 karma. If anything, that points to him not being a creep.
But what I heard at the time is that he was drunk and being pushy. Which isn't good, but it's not like you can't come back from that.
I subscribe to a lot of channels who would jump at the chance to out him at the drop of a hat so I assumed there wasn't anything more to it, but if you have anything else to put in the table I'm all ears.
