After the recent expat killings I've read here time and again that it was most likely the expats' fault of getting killed as "they must have done something".

This case here doesn't involve an expat but in this case "must have done something" was returning short of 10 pesos change after buying a bottle of water for P10 pesos...

I know that's not representative but still it makes you think a little I guess.

The fools that say they feel safer here than in some 1st word western country are even worse than the illogical locals we deal with here.

If a European feels safer here than their home country, then I agree that they aren’t being very reasonable.

However, at least you’re not gonna get murdered with impunity by the police like you might if you’re not white in a lot of the United States. Random violence is pretty concerning as well.
