He probably went to Cabo or Cancun where hundreds of higher profile athletes and personalities party every day without incident. It's not like he went to Juarez or Detroit.
Chicago had the World's most vicious member of Zeta running the city's drug and crime elements. Las Vegas was largely funded by the Mob, the oldschool Mafia. Louisiana political State structures were saturated at one point, with Mafia interactions as well.
If Drug Cartels in Mexico, were ruthlessly running crime in a major US city, I hardly think there is a hands off area that is managed as a resort area on a coast. These same Cartel organizations walk into mining areas already in production for exporting metals to foreign markets, and in the open, start their own mining operations up and do their metal removal on already owned property. They handle the 'corporation' all the way to sales to foreign representatives and the shipping involved.
Robin Williams, a member of the fast and influentially in crowd, around Holywood, fought drug and alcohol abuses for years. That lifestyle is pitted with abuses and dangers that are easily attained.
To say there is a catering to a 'cool' crowd, well, is a naïve view, as very organized crime infiltrates the entire social culture everywhere in Mexico. And personal ignorance is what caught Orlando Scandrick with the proverbial snapshot with his drawers.
He received his warnings back when he was a rookie, like the rest of that year's rooks. He got caught up in affluent lifestyle and thought mindlessly, that his selection process was protected by where and who he was with. That cost Robin Williams his life, as he grew in his own failures mindlessly protected by an affluent subclass of similar cash flows.
No, Scandrick was guilty of what ended up poor judgement and unethical discernment. He got caught as a criminal. And he deserves his rewards of that set of deeds. If the issue was legality of prohibited items, he could challenge legal status by going where they are legal. Well, that isn't the case is most States or Mexico. For legal use of even marijuana, today, he would have to go to a resort in a state like Colorado, to legally purchase that substance for personal useage.
That although, would be in bold conflict with the personal integrity attachments that is enforced and expected in the participation in the NFL.
Location and crowd covered nothing as to his role. Just ask Robin Williams...oops, you can't any more.
