they make a lot of good points but ultimately this is victim shaming. why weren't you smarter and more careful? why are you falling for these traps? what did you think would happen?

the better question would be, why the fuck are colombians trying to drug and rob foreigners on a regular basis

having money in your pocket or going on a date is not a crime. people need to stop pushing awareness on how to be safe and start pushing serious solutions for these robberies. we should be setting up stings and catching these assholes every week. it would not be hard at all for the cops to hire a gringo to hang out in lleras and set himself up to be scoped.

we could start busting these people every week and word will get out. the girls won't want to scope people because they will know their victim could be an undercover. this is only an epidemic because the social hivemind has not applied enough effort to resolve it. the solutions really aren't that tricky, we just plant gringos on tinder and reverse honey pot them
