Murder is more common in Latin America than in any other part of the world.
That’s the most striking takeaway from a ranking of the most violent cities compiled earlier this year by Mexico’s Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. The ranking doesn’t count deaths in war zones or cities with unavailable data.
Thirty-four of the 50 worst cities were located in the region, including repeat murder capital of the world — San Pedro Sula, Honduras — which saw 187 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2013 and is getting steadily worse. A full one-third of global homicides occur in Latin America even though the region has just 8% of the world’s population, according to United Nations data.
Drug trafficking, gang wars, political instability, corruption, and poverty combine to cause the region’s elevated violence.
US cities also made the list, led by Detroit at No. 24 and New Orleans at No. 26.

Low average I.Q. and lack of education are at least 2 of the determining factors.
That, and all the chili peppers they eat probably contribute to their hot tempers.

What Joy !
I watched a Liveleak video the other day from Brazil. On the video a gang banger (speaking Latin) told of how he was going to shoot cops. He was a real evil looking dude. I guess the woman neighbor ratted on him because she had the video camera rolling as off duty cops came storming in. They not only shot and killed the gang banger but every young male in that house. Like 15 of them. THEN ! The cops lined the dead bodies along the curb in a perfect row. Sort of telling the rest of the gang bangers this is what you get when you mess with Brazil’s cops. These are the same types of people Obama is giving amnesty to.
