Venezuela Homicide Rate Lowest in 22 Years As Its Gangs Migrate Here
Hot Air ^

Posted on 02/28/2024 8:17:01 AM PST by TigerClaws

The homicide rate in Venezuela has dropped like a rock.

The numbers are shocking, actually, in how high they remain and how much they have fallen. More than a 25% drop in about a year, according to the Venezuela Violence Observatory. Suicides are up, though, which isn't such good news.

The explanation for this sudden drop in the murder rate doesn't require a great deal of research. All you need to do is read the news and you will see story after story about Venezuelan illegal immigrants committing crimes in the United States.

(Bloomberg) -- Venezuela’s rate of violent deaths dropped to its lowest level in more than two decades following years of massive migration as both criminals and victims fled the nation’s economic crisis.

The Venezuelan Violence Observatory registered 26.8 violent deaths per 100,000 inhabitants this year from a rate of 35.3 for every 100,000 habitants in 2022, Roberto Briceño León, director of the Observatory, said in a webcast Thursday. That’s its lowest since 2001 and is one-third of what it was in 2016, he added.

Young people, who have traditionally been the main victims of violence, have fled, while criminals and gangs have emigrated due to the lack of opportunities to commit crimes, according to Briceño León.

Call me crazy, but I strongly suspect that one statistic is causally related to the other, as the Venezuelan Violence Observatory noted.

They're not sending anyone. The gangs are exploiting the open border policy.

I went looking for it. Couldn’t find it.

Cartoon of a (insert name of country here) prison with prisoners filing out of there. Directly to the US border. With Biden smiling there welcoming them in.

This is a massive invasion of illegals.

The democrats / marxists are importing tens of millions of illegals every year. They are giving them drivers licenses to vote for socialism / marxism.

Imo if Trump doesn’t win U.S. will be a socialist state within a few years maybe even one year, similar to Venezuela or n Korea.

President of Argentina gave a speech at the world economic forum : socialism will cause extreme poverty for 99% of citizens.

Capitalism is the only thing that has raised people out of extreme poverty. President of Argentina explained this.

We should park a Carrier group off of the coast of Venezuela and then dump all their criminals near the shore.

Remember that movie ,the Dirty Dozen? Round up the Venezuela criminals , give them a choice of jail or becoming part of an army group trained to take Venezuela back.

And throw in the violent criminals from our prisons for good measure. Sauce for the goose and all that.

Everybody who can needs to arm up.
Be prepared to react when they attack you or someone else.
Tell your female friends and relatives to stay alert and have pepper spray or wasp spray (works the same) to protect themselves if they don’t have a gun. Situational awareness.
I was sitting in front of a restaurant at 5:00 a.m. yesterday in a nearby small town when a guy walked by talking on his phone. He walked out of site past the entryway, so I walked around where I could see him. He was walking around my car. He quickly crossed the 5 lane highway, across a field, and into a motel parking lot several hundred yards away. No cars were there (very old motel).
He walked around about 10 minutes then walked back to the highway and walked back the way he came.
I’m sure he was an illegal, we know there are several living around here in the bush.

AND AND AND we saved so much climate change for Venesuela by taking their criminals.

I feel so honored.
Send us your rapists, huddled pedos, drunk drivers and bandits, our shores should be teeming with fresh life.

Communist dictatorships always have low crime rates. One of the prices for living in a free society is that criminals take advantage of their freedom to commit crimes.
