You didn’t really address my question (how is one person equal to a “mob”), and it seems like you’re using a similar type of anecdote to the one you are complaining about—no source, all personal impression. I’m not trying to be contrarian for the heck of it, I just don’t think you’re making a much better argument than the one you are speaking against.

I saw only one user in this thread try to respond with an unspecified “studies say”. How is that a “mob”?

Are there usually good men standing around at the scene of a murder?

I think you may have misread something. I just tried to search for that, and it seems that he was in a commercial for BlackRock, an investment firm, when he was in high school. They had a shot of a classroom that he was in, he was not a paid actor.

If he has also been hired by Blackwater, that has not been widely reported, and it seems unlikely.

I thought the reason was to get revenge on the human slaves who had stolen the voice from dragons?

Things are hard out there, and that makes people feel like finding hills to die on. The less stressful life is, the better the discourse, usually.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much in Mexico—I go there all the time and find them to be reasonable about law enforcement. They have bigger fish to fry than pirates. Enjoy the great food and cool street performers—it is an amazing country that is massively misrepresented in a lot of the world.

That said—get a VPN. It’s a good idea in general.
