The 20 Most Violent Cities Worldwide

Out of the world’s 50 most violent cities, 41 are in Latin America including 21 in Brazil. The Mexico Citizens Council for Public Security releases its findings on the homicide rate in cities with populations over 300,000 every year. This infographic shows the world’s top 20 cities, with Caracas, Venezuela, in first place with 119.87 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2015.

San Pedro Sula, Honduras (111.03 homicides per 100,000) came second with San Salvador, El Salvador (108.54 homicides per 100,000) rounding off the top three. The majority of the violence in Latin America can be attributed to drug trafficking, gang warfare and political instability.

I would have expected more in Mexico, and in the Middle East and Africa.

Woo-hoo USA! Baltimore and St. Louis made the cut! Guess if Chicago only counted the residents of the south side they’d make the cut too.

Bodymore, Murderland makes the list.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

So how many of those countries and cities are democratic/socialist run?

sure looks like a lot of them…
but that’s RAYCIST!!!

to be fair, much of the really shitty areas of the world don’t have effective tracking and statistics. I bet there are unknown mass graves ISIS created that haven’t shown up yet.

Do you see what happens Larry when you fuck the sheep in the ass (in Central and South America)?

No doubt that will happen anywhere that the owners pull everything, even hope out from under humans just trying to live their lives and survive. Democide is rampant, I think you know who is to blame.

I am suspecting that forces want to see the process accelerate.
