People can choose to ignore this, as many who live outside the affected communities do, or they can go crazy over it even though there is no real solution. People in the US go beserk over the murders in Mexico and the numbers really are crazy high. But go to Mexico and most people couldn't care less, they know this is 95% criminal on criminal activity and they realize cartel related activity is never just going to go away. So they don't go to dangerous areas much as someone will not go venture into the bad areas of Chicago. Eventually you get to be like JK, just state the facts and then move onto something more interesting like sports or entertainment news.
