There is a brand new ranking of the world's most violent cities from Mexico's Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice.
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.

It all depends on what you call workplace violence, and what you call genocide, and many other special categories of homicide.
Three US cities made the list, Detroit, Baltimore, St Louis. Democrat strong holds all.
And of course they pretty much all have strict gun control.
And New Orleans @ #28
Among the 50 most criminally violent cities are four U.S. cities: Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, and New Orleans. No surprise these four cities are run by Democrats with a majority demographic that’s no surprise, either.
I wonder what grades the Brady Center gives to places like Brazil, Venezuela, and Mexico (since they give low grades to places like Texas and Montana)? After all, these countries banned civilian ownership of firearms years ago, yet many of their cities made this list (feigning shock).
Yet we just MUST vote in dimbulbcrats to make the country right again!
Nice going, Bollimer......
With the crime rate in Memphis, TN., I’m surprised it is not on the list. Another Black Democrat stronghold.
Why dont we just import more south of the border criminals?
The usual mix: Mexico, Brazil, and Venezuela, a few South African entries. The U.S. entries: Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, St. Louis. Unexpected. BTT
Geesh no wonder my friend from Brazil has a home here too.
Maybe they should try gun control.
I’m so disappointed in the UN: it’s racist to point this out.
hard to believe chicago didn't make the cut
Three of the four U.S. cities on the list are heavily majority black according to 2010 U.S. census data (wiki). St. Louis is roughly half black.
Detroit 82.7%.
New Orleans 60.2%
Baltimore 63.3%
St. Louis 46.9%
I read somewhere that once the white population of a given city dwindles below a certain percentage, non-white crime soars. If anyone can find that study, it would be much appreciated.
Dominant demographic in St. Louis: Black @ 46.9% (source)
Dominant demographic in Baltimore: Black @ 63.3% (source)
Dominant demographic in New Orleans: Black @ 60.2% (source)
Dominant demographic in Detroit: (source)
The thesis of that study was that whites are a stabilizing element in a racial stew pot. Below a certain percentage, there comes instability.
People’s race is not the causality here. The study plays right in the hands of liberals as they can now point to the study as overt racism. What does race have anything to do with behavior?
I’d say it’s a combination of one-party rule and application of socialism (Democrats in this instance). They of course also radicalized racism within black people so that they don’t get blamed for the horrific results of their policies.
Look at Venezuela. The same economic disaster and criminality has happened to a very rich country, and it’s not a black problem.
