It's tricky to communicate the seriousness of the situation without making things sound worse than they are. It's serious, but it does need to be kept in perspective. Your post is a big help.

Yesterday there were 22 killed in a major gunbattle here in Sonora. Since it's between police and drug gangs we're not really in danger either. I wouldn't want to be a police officer here though...
