Mexico Issues Travel Warning About U.S.

Dear Dingo:
Please share this with your readers-

Effective immediately. 

The Mexican consulate has issued a travel alert to all Mexican citizens, warning against unnecessary travel to the U.S.A. Due to the frequency of random gun violence, and complete inability to predict when such violence will occur, travel is discouraged. Children and young adults are often the victims in these random assaults, not narcos.

 USA citizens own approximately 300 million guns-- 101 guns per 100 citizens. Next in line ranks Serbia, with 58 guns per 100 citizens.

The USA experiences more firearm deaths per capita than Mexico. Please exercise extreme caution if travel to the USA is absolutely necessary. 

Enjoy the Mexican sunshine, safety and questionable tequila instead.

Treats for Internet Trolls

Dearest Dingo:
Here we go again, more 'made in America' mass shootings... And to make these horrid events even worse---"comments" sections are always filled with the same bizarre, predictable rants-- such as:


A) The government is behind mass shootings !!  It's part of the "New World Order"!!
B)  "But look at Chicago, shootings in Chicago !!" (the crazy response if someone suggests gun control)

Why do these folks feel compelled to say these things??

Answer:
Remember "comments" sections are filled with Russian trolls. Not cute Scandinavian trolls that crouch under bridges scaring Billy goats, but the kind that are drunk on cheap vodka and looking for some extra rubles... Then a crazy dude out to make a buck (hmm, maybe Alex Jones?) spreads the weirdness to excite those tin hat wearing fans of his (which of course includes our predator-in- chief).

Here is how you respond to uncouth trolls:

When they scream: "It's the government!"
 Gently remind them:
** Blaming the government-- means blaming Trump's government. Who holds all the keys to the asylum these days ?? Please write Trump a tweet.

When they scream :" More shootings in Chicago !"
Reply:
**" How nice of you to be concerned about violence and black lives in Chicago! However, how is that even similar to a crazy guy shooting off an automatic weapon at tons of innocent people and children??

Lastly--Regardless, whenever violence by any true American is committed within the USA, remember to say: BUILD A WALL!
