Saint Louis doesn’t surprise me. Hell, the “knock out” appears to have originated here. I live across the river in Illinois, where in the East Saint Louis area, some 20 cops and other law enforcement types have been accused of drug trafficking and in a couple of instances, murder. All while a heroin scandal in Saint Clair county ensnared a judge for supplying drugs that killed another. Their supplier was in the probation and parole office..
Note that this list is ranked by the RATIO of murders per population - so even though ChiCongo has a lot committed by a small segment of the city, the ratio is low because of the millions of other law-abiding residents included in the city’s census.
Which shows just how bad things are in large cities like Detroit and Oakland ....
One would think that Beirut, Damascus, Gaza City, Baghdad and maybe Belfast would have made the list.
You seem to have made that up.
Even of the two nations you mentioned, the CIA lists Honduras as 97% Catholic, and we can assume they have been baptized as members, by the Catholic denomination.
Guatemala is up to 60% baptized members of the Catholic denomination, and it is unknown what numbers have been baptized by other denominations or religions.
Caracas and its not because of drugs
“One would think that Beirut, Damascus, Gaza City, Baghdad and maybe Belfast would have made the list.”
They don’t count war zones, which leaves out the first 4 cities. I think Belfast has been pretty quiet since the “Troubles” ended, more or less. As for Africa, they don’t count places where no data is available, and I think vital statistics are in a state of flux in many of those places, to put it mildly. Am surprised that no place in Asia, or Papaua New Guinea, made the list.
I just watched it recently. If you didn’t keep a close eye out to notice the rear-projection in his scenes, you wouldn’t have known he hadn’t shot it in Mexico.
Can you provide a source for this?
The cops in the Detroit picture look hilarious.
All but 2 are in North or South America?
It doesn't surprise me in the least that San Pedro Sula, Honduras is #1. Fifteen years ago one in 4 of the people working at the airport had scars from machete fights. Today people have more money for luxuries like guns and ammunition.
Missouri’s governor is Jay Nixon, now a term-limited Democrat (and an A-1 hypocritical SOB). Nixon took office in 2007. No idea who will be next, but it’ll likely be another lifelong pol (sigh...) of the Republicrat party.
All these cities have large non-white populations...these top 50 are all either Black, Indigenous, Mullatto, or Mestizo. The one that surprises me is Brasilia, Brazil...which is a new city (only since 1960) and is the new capital of Brazil...it’s criminal minorities had to move there in recent yrs
Holy extra melanin Batman!
And never will.
No cities in Europe and Asia.
Hmmmmmm.
San Juan — # 33.
FYI.
Read it hear years ago.
