Authored by Daisy Luther via The Organic Prepper blog,
When you think of the most dangerous, violent cities in the world, do you picture slums in Third World countries with vicious drug cartels or arrogant warlords? Maybe the kind of violence where enemies are decapitated and whole families are murdered seem like things that happen far away in some terrifying, exotic locale.
Some of this is true – but FIVE of the world’s most violent cities are right here on the American mainland and another is in an American territory. The list was created by researchers of anti-violence think-tank Seguridad, Justicia Y Paz (Security, Justice, and Peace), who made their rankings based on statistics of homicides per 100,000 residents.
The vast majority of the cities on the list were in Central and South America. Interestingly, the violence in Venezuela appears to have dropped in violence this year, but not because it’s suddenly become a mecca of safety. The official situation there has devolved so much that they simply can’t track all the homicides.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

But back to America
We pride ourselves on our first world status and civilized societies, and yet four of our cities ended up on the list of the most dangerous and violent locales on the planet.
They are:
- #13 St. Louis
- #21 Baltimore
- #32 San Juan
- #41 New Orleans
- #42 Detroit
How did these cities make the list?
- St. Louis, Missouri: Since the Ferguson riots, the entire state of Missouri has seen a sharp increase in violence. This has culminated in the city of St. Louis, which had a 2017 murder rate of 65.83 per hundred thousand people. There are thousands of violent crimes each year in the city, which only has a population of about 320,000 people.
- Baltimore, Maryland: The city of Baltimore has an astounding murder rate of 55.48 people per hundred thousand. Last year’s murder rate was nearly as high as the year that the riots erupted over the killing of Freddie Gray by city police officers. There’s a murder nearly every day of the year in Baltimore and the police force there is widely considered to be one of the most corrupt – if not the most corrupt – in the nation.
- San Juan, Puerto Rico: Many will think that San Juan earned its place on the list due to the devastation wrought by two back to back hurricanes, but it was already bad for years before. DHS ties this to drug trafficking. The island territory had begun to see signs of improvement in 2015 after a massive spike in 2011 that brought murders to an all-time high. The homicide numbers didn’t immediately escalate after Hurricane Maria, but as the unrelenting darkness continued, violent crime began to increase until it reached 48.70 murders per hundred thousand residents.
- New Orleans, Louisiana: Murders in New Orleans, Louisiana fell last year but armed robberies and non-fatal shootings have risen by a whopping 30% since 2010. The city is renowned for its food, music, and festivals, making it a popular destination for tourists. Yet, the 40.10 murders per hundred thousand people rank The Big Easy as more dangerous than some of the most notorious cities in Brazil and Columbia.
- Detroit, Michigan: Detroit is the fourth American city to be featured on the list of places you’re most likely to be murdered. With a homicide rate of 39.69 per one hundred thousand people, Detroit was the 42 most dangerous city in the world according to these statistics. The city used to be an American hub of industry, but when the automotive manufacturers left, it fell into disrepair and poverty. Residents have a whopping unemployment rate of almost 11%, the population has plummeted, and since it is one of the poorest cities in the nation, perhaps the residents who remain simply can’t afford to get out.
For those who are interested in preparedness, the collapse of these cities is something to watch. Note how the increase of violence in many cases ties in with a lack of confidence in local law enforcement officers. A failing economy is another factor, as increased desperation leads to increased crime.

Seguridad, Justicia Y Paz blames much of the violence on drug cartel turf wars, economic crises, and violence perpetrated by gangs like MS-13.
Do you have any doubt that violence will be abundant when the SHTF?
All you need to do is look at this list and study these cities to see how violence escalates when the rule of law collapses, when economies crash and people starve, when police officers go dirty, and when criminal gangs turn into the ruling class.
I’m surprised Burlington, VT isn’t on the list – what with their lax gun laws.
Easy to be a socialist, leftist slob when you live in the whitest state east of the Mississippi with avg annual incomes well above poverty and all of that “diversity” is a good distance away….
Where are the white majority cities or white run cities? Isn’t it supposed to be racist to even point out the reality of a list like this? After all, white, heterosexual males are supposed to be the root of all evil and all of that…
I thought Jews were.
Rule of law indeed. Actual law. Not fictive – legal — rules. Economics. Those laws.
You want blood & guts hittin’ the fan? Here’s the recipe: no, or marginal property rights; no or marginal free markets; “rules” creating black markets – & attendant “profit” margins ~ which are really just another species of rents (that both gang sides partake in).
That’s it. Destructive destruction. The law of shortcuts & shortsightedness & short time preferences. The law of the jungle “pragmatists.”
Cue Randy Newman. Sing it. & look for ways to short people involved in the destruction. What was that old Ringer title? “How You Can Find Happiness During the Collapse of Western Civilization.” Collapse is what fake civilizations do. All that varies is the tempo.
I call bullshit : It has to with 3 things .Race , diversity and lack of true Christian faith.You can make every other excuse in the world but it doesn’t change the real causes of Crime .American Cities used to be safe places until these cities were infested with Blacks and now Third World shit from all over world.
Castes casting bait, offering casting couch promotions, etc.
Not much racial diversity south of “the border.” No lack of christians, either. The catholic ones especially. Spanish flu infected the bejesus outta’ people in those parts.
But when racial diversity’s in short supply, peeps more than tend to “diversify” themselves along other lines.
Diversity’s a strawman. & oz didn’t give him anything he didn’t already have. & castigators gotta’ caste.
Every single country on that list is a Christian society. Mostly Catholic.
Shitholes every one.
So 13 Mexican cities out of 50. That’s better than 25%. Imagine how many winners they would have racked up if we didn’t take in their real ‘stars’?
Other than South Africa, that’s all Western Hemisphere. Except for Puerto Rico and Jamaica, just about everybody on that list could walk here. Maybe we should consider a wall
#13 St. Louis
#21 Baltimore
#32 San Juan
#41 New Orleans
#42 Detroit
How did these cities make the list?
Niggers and Latins.
The wetbacks are going to need to step up their game, as the niggers are beating them, with four cities out of five on the list.
Haha, oh shit now that’s racyss.
AC, we are very proud that St. Louis niggers are the most violent in the USA.
St. Louis Niggers should be their new NFL football team’s name.
And the U of Mizzou.
We will never get another team. Two teams were smart enough to get out when the getting was good. It’s a city in decline and a major shithole. I’ll never go back.
Don’t forget St. Louie gave us the Spinks brothers, Leon and Michael, World Champions!
How did Chicago NOT make the list?
Maybe someone’s statistics have been “adjusted” again ….
james,
chicago has so many people that the murder rate per 100,000 gets watered down–
Actually, those 5 cities are as safe or safer than most other places in the world if you stay out of specific and easily identifiable areas of them.
I call Bullshit on that list. Kabul Afghanistan should be right at the top along with Jalalabad, Kandahar, and Herat. There are no middle eastern cities listed and there is a war going on there as well.
No cities in Africa? South Africa is going under a white genocide right now.
What about Europe? The muslime invasion has changed the makeup of Europe and women cannot go out without protection.
Daisy Luther via The Organic Prepper blog doesn’t know what a violent city is. That list of cities is pure BS.
I DON’T BUY THEIR NUMBERS
WHERE IS CHICAGO?
The black parts of Baltimore make the top 10, lets do the numbers :
2017 Baltimore homicides by race from the Baltimore Sun :
All : 342
White : 24
Black : 288
other & unknown : 30
Population by race, 2017 numbers :
All : 621,647
White: 29.6% : 184,008
Black: 63.7% : 396,000
other & unknown: 6.7% : 41,639
Baltimore has an ‘astounding’ murder rate of 55.48 people per hundred thousand. That is a bit low, how did he calculate that ?
All : 342 dead / 6.21647 = 55.015,
White: 24 / 1.84 = 13.04348
Black 288 / 3.96 = 72.7273
other & unknown: 30 / 0.42 = 71.4285
Which means for the black parts of the City, Baltimore makes the top 10,
slightly more violent than #10,Belém Brasil w/ 71.38.
Mexico appears on that list 13 times.
Surprised Chicago IL did not make the list. It is usually the first city we think of re: shootings and murders in the US.
There is even a whole website dedicated to the statistics and details of Chicago shootings and murders:

I notice there are no Asian cities on the list.
