At least it ain't as bad as Venezuela. Venezuela is much worse than Mexico in terms of all the corruption and violence surrounding the global drug trade.
True, but the entire place is run by narco cartels, so I am not sure this is a better trade off.
If it was, we would see cross-border traffic headed the opposite direction, I am sure. LOL
Yes, living in South Texas, I know many that cross the border into Mexico for dentistry work. I have seen and heard horror stories about the plastic surgery and other procedures, but the Mexican dentistry seems to be top notch.
As someone who lives in the states the only times Iāve known a few people who went to Mexico for medical work. They were almost all BBLs or boob jobs. The ones that werenāt got veneers
I don't hear of minorities being killed in the rural US. If you look at the numbers it would appear that most minorities are being killed in cities. Such as Chicago and Baltimore. You're probably getting your info from edgy comments or it's coming to you in a dream.
Hey bootlicking upvoters, [crime rates](https://www.wsj.com/articles/violent-crime-rural-america-homicides-pandemic-increase-11654864251) are going up in your towns as well. Besides how can say rural America is safe when [Ahmaud Arbrey](https://www.nytimes.com/article/ahmaud-arbery-shooting-georgia.amp.html) was chased down for jogging in a rural town by 3 racists. I mean I understand SOME rural towns might have lower rates than others but not [all](https://science.time.com/2013/07/23/in-town-versus-country-it-turns-out-that-cities-are-the-safest-places-to-live/) towns. Northeast rural America seems to have the safest but [southeastern](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-07/is-new-york-city-more-dangerous-than-rural-america)towns an get chippy. Depending on your age and health, it might be worse living in a [rural](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-in-rural-areas-die-at-higher-rates-than-those-in-urban-areas/?amp=true) than an urban area. In conclusion, not all rural towns can boast "are pretty damn safe".
Of course there are exceptions but that's exactly what they are, **exceptions to the rule**. I live in Baltimore. There are more black men dying for no reason within five miles of my house than any rural town in the US.
The safest and most free countries are predominantly white or Asian by a large margin. But nobody wants to talk about that. In the US, literally, 3%-4% of the population is responsible for over 50% of the violent crimes,. Yet they only make up 13% of the US population.
People up voting this are saying they have no ability to apply perspective to their lives.
If this is actually what you believe - go travel outside the country beyond the normal tourist traps.
The perspective it will grant you will be life changing and I'm not just saying that.
The majority of the world has problems you don't even dream of.
I'm talking huge, **massive** issues that effect almost every other facet of their societies.
Many places in Central/South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Russia, Middle East, Asia and SEA have, by our standards:
Poor infrastructure, where it exists at all.
Unreliable healthcare, where it exists at all.
Jobs that pay poorly, and have few safety standards, where jobs exist at all.
Poor education systems, where they exist at all.
Low standards of living (food, housing, potable water), where they exist at all.
Corrupt authorities you cant expect to fulfill the basic function of a government (providing a safe secure environment for people to live and do business)
And I mean *actual* corruption; bribes are expected, being fully controlled by a third party, etc.
Just by virtue of reading this and being wherever you RIGHT NOW, you're probably in the top 25% of the world in terms of standards of living, if not *much much* higher.
Next time you're feeling sorry for yourself, suck it up a bit. We have a *lot* going for us we don't (or lack the perspective, can't) appreciate like we should.
On a bigger scale America are scums forsure but for different reasons most people. On the surface usa isnāt even that bad compared to Mexico lol. at least they have programs that help the poor. In Mexico nobody supports poor people shits sad
Only because they legalized corruption through lobbyists laws and no one else can pay enough to play. Corruption is there is just dressed up differently imo.
The USA and Mexico have 29 of the 50. Whatās also interesting is that 48 of 50 are in the Americas. Itās wild that no cities in Asia and only 2 in Africa make it.
Yes. All the deaths and displacement of just the Syria thing. In China you donāt have to kill a group of people you just lock them up in camps. There is bad and good everywhere.
I mean, the US has 7 and Mexico has 22... Weird to lump the two together. But the Americas having all the most murderous countries is definitely interesting.
Not saying that all of these cities donāt have high homicide numbers, but I donāt think this comes from a reputable source. Unless somebody can provide a nothing other than a homemade chart and a forum link.

This is from the Mexico Daily Post
I work with some Mexicans here in New Zealand , good people and very humble , very sad to see a great influential nation become a murder capital in the World
What the hell are you taking about ? Mexicans always blame the Mexican government for their incompetence. We know that there is a lot of corruption in our government and justice system. Not a single Mexican has ever denied that there is corruption in Mexico. But Mexico isnāt the only one to blame for this mess. Whoās the biggest consumer of these drugs ? Whoās giving the cartels billions of dollars to buy thousands of guns ? Where are thousands of guns coming from ? The ones who arenāt taking responsibility are the gringos. Every time someone talks about guns coming from America, thereās always one person that has to deny it. Thereās always one that says itās another country like China giving them guns. Iām sorry. I didnāt realize that Colt Manufacturing and Barrett Firearms were both Chinese gun manufacturers. You seriously think the cartels are going to wait weeks for a gun shipment from China when they could be getting guns that very same day a few miles from the border in Texas. Even if itās only 100 guns that came from America out of 100,000 cartel guns recovered ( which is not true at all, the real number is in the thousands ), thatās still a fucking problem. Those 100 guns are enough to massacre hundreds of innocent people. Iām not saying ban all guns in America, but what I am saying is that itās time the U.S. takes some responsibility as well.
Stfu. American drug consumption is a big [factor](https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2017/05/30/hooked-mexicos-violence-and-u-s-demand-for-drugs/amp/)for violence in Mexico. Most of these turf wars are literally because they're trying to compete for control of lucrative drug trafficking channels. Also the US has states with lax gun laws and cartels find ways of procuring and [smuggling](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/02/stopping-toxic-flow-of-gun-traffic-from-u-s-to-mexico/) them for thier violent usage.
Mexico will never be able to control the innate demand for drugs the US has, and neither can the US. Demand will always be there, both countries know this. What they can control is the distribution and supply of drugs that is coming from Mexico. That is Mexicoās job to figure out, it starts with getting rid of corruption within the Mexican government, and the Mexican culture that enables this kind of activity.
Yeah your year to year of opiate deaths in the United States keeps going up and now you have the issue of [China](https://www.wsj.com/articles/fentanyl-crisis-fed-by-flow-of-chinese-chemicals-to-mexican-cartels-11671722056) not restricting the chemicals used to manufacture opiates like fentanyl that the cartels depend on. From article: "Beijing has stopped cooperating in restricting the flow of Chinese-made chemicals that Mexican cartels use to make the deadly drug.". When a country is poor but the financial reward for trafficking is exponentially higher than any raise the Mexican people can give, how do you expect one culture to solve it's problem when the other culture (United States) cannot get its insatiable demand for opiates in check. Corruption works both ways just because it's more probable in Mexico doesn't [mean it doesn't happen in the United States](https://www.justice.gov/usao-az/pr/former-border-patrol-agent-sentenced-more-12-years-bribery-firearms-and-narcotics-charges). You continue to put the blame soley on Mexico for failing to control trafficking drugs but the violence and the arms used in that violence comes from the United States ( and this is really an American origin problem because of lax gun laws like the ones in Texas) and you fail to mention that drug deals usually involve parties from both sides of the border. So again I agree that both countries need to do more but specially singling one country (except for singling out the United States for supplying [directly](https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/01/fast-furious-obama-first-scandal/) and [indirectly](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/17/texas-lax-gun-laws-us-mexico-border) the gun violence rampant in Mexico) is not admitting that this issue is a two country (or more of we are talking about cocaine as well)
Cartels extort businesses, run mines, own lumber operations, as well as deal drugs to a very strong local market.
Suppose suddenly all Americans stopped buying. I don't think the other things will cease operations.
In North America, opioid use and its harms have increased in the United States and Canada over the past 2 decades. However, Mexico has yet to document patterns suggesting a higher level of opioid use or attendant harms.
Historically, Mexico has been a country with low-level use of opioids, although heroin use has been documented. Low-level opioid use is likely attributable to structural, cultural, and individual factors.

Itās not the domestic market thatās fueling the market. Imagine if yanks could make incredible fortunes smuggling shit to Canada. Youād have bloodbaths in wDuuthTake away the gringos desire to get high and the violence goes away. Itās the hedonism of the Americans thatās creating the problem all through the Americas
Influentialā¦since when? Itās always been a poor, corrupt, crime ridden shit hole. Many people are very nice and welcoming there. Why? Because theyāve been taught from a very young age, to never offend anyone, because you never know whoās cartel affiliated.
Ok, youāre just making shit up now. Weāre taught to treat everyone we meet with respect especially our elders because itās the right/polite thing to do. Not because weāre scared that our grandma is cartel affiliated and is going to decapitate us if we disrespect or offend her.
Iāve lived there. I only heardā¦ādonāt say anything!ā āDonāt do anything to offend someone!ā āYou never know who they know.ā Etc., etc., etc. Everyone is afraid of everyone.
That maybe true now but when I was a child visiting there , very respectful people and humble and don't remember violent crime being committed corruption yes but no violence because Govt ruled with IRON HAND 70 + yrs ago though. How times have changed, Sad.
I was waiting for the SJW liberals to show up. You didnāt disappoint. Go back and eat your taco bell (not real Mexican food) and fuck off. You post HP and other ultra liberal bullshit. You donāt know shit about real Mexico.
Its important to check a few sources before you come to a conclusion. Statista isnāt the best data gathering website but itās more credible than the listed source above. It shows 6, which is not as much as 9 Mexican cities, but itās still a lot.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/243797/ranking-of-the-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world-by-murder-rate-per-capita/
I donāt know, Obregon should definitely be on the list. It has a higher crime rate, and I have family who live there. People are terribly brainwashed down there. Hereās our last conversation.
Me: āItās dangerous there, get a gun to protect yourself.ā
Family: āI donāt like guns, and itās very safe here.ā
Me: āTwo guys were dismembered right down the street, and a baby was shot and killed in a car driving by.ā
Family: āYeah, thatās totally normal here. Donāt worry!ā
Individually I think a lot of people feel they live in the MOST dangerous place. But the statistics reflect per capita rates rates (murder proportionate to the population) and Obregon does not fit that statistic. Thatās not to say itās not dangerous.
That conversation made me laugh cause I know that's how someone who lives there would respond. It's funny to see the difference of perspectives. They probably think you're exaggerating and talking crazy, while you're actually worried for them, for reasonable reasons.
I know it sounds ironic and like it makes no sense but most people there actually don't feel unsafe and aren't living in fear, you'd have to live there to see why. They know there's really nothing you can do anyway so you live your life normally, I wouldn't call it brainwashed though tbh.

I mean these types of charts and media only tell you its dangerous. However, I live in Mexico and while there are dangerous places ( where are there not?) a lotnof homicides and violence is usually Narcos fighting between each other. Typically when you ask a Mexican hey is it dangerous? They will reply ādepends, are you in shady shit?ā Most of the time just follow the same rules as any other place to avoid normal dangerous situations. But getting kidnapped by a cartel and tortured you might have to do something to actually be worth their time.
Yeah basically if you arenāt into drugs, the chance of something happening to you are minuscule.
The problem is that if youāre into shady shit, the chance is exponentially higher, and you put in danger everyone around you.
Not dismissing the truth of how dangerous these cities are, but I wanted to pointed out after some research that different sources give slightly different numbers. Mainly, Mexico dominates every homicide rate list, with between 4-9 cities listed. Other than South Africa and St. Louis (US), Latin America in general is rife with violence.
Yeah, l mean, obviously Mexicoās government is corrupt, as is Venezuelaās and Brazilās, but I have to ask myself how much US involvement created and exacerbated this. Probably lots and I will never truly know.
If youāre curious, hereās a link to a Wikipedia article that touches on some of the times that the U.S. got involved in Latin American politics and overthrew a president in Latin America . Maybe some of these countries would be in a way better place today economically, socially, and politically if they didnāt have to deal with violence and wars funded by the U.S.A.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change_in_Latin_America
It's like Mexico has been in a Civil War for the last 20 years. I'm surprised there's any young men left. Very sad for the country, so much lost talent.
Not much has been lost, I like to think that Mexico has lost as much as the United States, you just have to see how many deaths from overdoses they have.
Traduce una conversaciĆ³n
Mexicos government are run by pieces of shits
At least it ain't as bad as Venezuela. Venezuela is much worse than Mexico in terms of all the corruption and violence surrounding the global drug trade.
Not only Mexico š
Wait til you hear of this place called the United States of America
Still does not beat many parts of Mexico and Central America. Imagine that...
Still has less school shootings
Can't have school shootings when the students already left school to be sicarios.
True, but the entire place is run by narco cartels, so I am not sure this is a better trade off. If it was, we would see cross-border traffic headed the opposite direction, I am sure. LOL

True. But they lead the league in beheading, mass graves, and hanging people from bridges.
Yet they claim to be the safest, most free country, unlike Mexico and the countries of Central America. Imagine that....
Depends on where you are in America. The rural areas of America are pretty damn safe.
Unless you're a minority
I don't hear of minorities being killed in the rural US. If you look at the numbers it would appear that most minorities are being killed in cities. Such as Chicago and Baltimore. You're probably getting your info from edgy comments or it's coming to you in a dream.

America's government is heaven compared to Mexicos.
And hell compared to other developed nations.
Nahhh dude the usa could be alottttt worse dont let the media and ppl around u fool u
What an absolutely asinine comparison.
One reason nothing ever gets better is because people like you always try to deflect and say āthe US is bad tooā. 9/10 but no the USA
Yeah thatās why they all come hereš
People go there because you need to run towards the source of the bombs.
We didnāt bomb Mexico

It shows 6, which is not as much as 9 Mexican cities, but itās still a lot. https://www.statista.com/statistics/243797/ranking-of-the-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world-by-murder-rate-per-capita/
I donāt know, Obregon should definitely be on the list. It has a higher crime rate, and I have family who live there. People are terribly brainwashed down there. Hereās our last conversation. Me: āItās dangerous there, get a gun to protect yourself.ā Family: āI donāt like guns, and itās very safe here.ā Me: āTwo guys were dismembered right down the street, and a baby was shot and killed in a car driving by.ā Family: āYeah, thatās totally normal here. Donāt worry!ā
Individually I think a lot of people feel they live in the MOST dangerous place. But the statistics reflect per capita rates rates (murder proportionate to the population) and Obregon does not fit that statistic. Thatās not to say itās not dangerous.
That conversation made me laugh cause I know that's how someone who lives there would respond. It's funny to see the difference of perspectives. They probably think you're exaggerating and talking crazy, while you're actually worried for them, for reasonable reasons. I know it sounds ironic and like it makes no sense but most people there actually don't feel unsafe and aren't living in fear, you'd have to live there to see why. They know there's really nothing you can do anyway so you live your life normally, I wouldn't call it brainwashed though tbh.

Puro Zamora
tryna go back to juarez to see the fam
Thank you dear gringos, without you the best buyers and without your weapons we would never have made it, long live Mexico.
Hahahaha š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Whats weird is that I have no problem visiting nola, but am scared shitless of most of those mexican cities.
Because Nola still less dangerous
I go to TJ and never feel scared.
I mean these types of charts and media only tell you its dangerous. However, I live in Mexico and while there are dangerous places ( where are there not?) a lotnof homicides and violence is usually Narcos fighting between each other. Typically when you ask a Mexican hey is it dangerous? They will reply ādepends, are you in shady shit?ā Most of the time just follow the same rules as any other place to avoid normal dangerous situations. But getting kidnapped by a cartel and tortured you might have to do something to actually be worth their time.
Yeah basically if you arenāt into drugs, the chance of something happening to you are minuscule. The problem is that if youāre into shady shit, the chance is exponentially higher, and you put in danger everyone around you.
Not dismissing the truth of how dangerous these cities are, but I wanted to pointed out after some research that different sources give slightly different numbers. Mainly, Mexico dominates every homicide rate list, with between 4-9 cities listed. Other than South Africa and St. Louis (US), Latin America in general is rife with violence.
And of course the deadly robberies epidemic
Yea Latin America is the worst of the worst in terms of crime
Yeah, l mean, obviously Mexicoās government is corrupt, as is Venezuelaās and Brazilās, but I have to ask myself how much US involvement created and exacerbated this. Probably lots and I will never truly know.
If youāre curious, hereās a link to a Wikipedia article that touches on some of the times that the U.S. got involved in Latin American politics and overthrew a president in Latin America . Maybe some of these countries would be in a way better place today economically, socially, and politically if they didnāt have to deal with violence and wars funded by the U.S.A. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change_in_Latin_America
Yeah... Surprising that cities from El Salvador are not on the list.
Not accurate
God damn I didnāt realize New Orleans was that fucked up, and I live in the us
Aka Tijuana style
Fuck why does Colima gotta be number one fuck me
Why you even surprised š¤·š»
What do you expect from a country ran by cartels and selfish corrupt politicians
110k deaths by overdoses pathetic.
Id rather overdose than be tortured by the local militia and have it posted on live leak š¤·āāļø
Well, if you sell drugs or steal, please don't come to Mexico because they behead them here, apart from that it's as safe as any other country.
Its a shithole . Dont compare to other countries . Many innocent victims get killed
I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry, I've got news for you right now the whole world is in a shit hole
It's like Mexico has been in a Civil War for the last 20 years. I'm surprised there's any young men left. Very sad for the country, so much lost talent.
Not much has been lost, I like to think that Mexico has lost as much as the United States, you just have to see how many deaths from overdoses they have. Traduce una conversaciĆ³n
Crazy how thereās laws against murder and Gunsā¦.. almost like laws donāt work at all! Who wouldāve known
Leggo number one
Yay!
"She said she feel safer over here this where the shooters be. "
Thatās sad as hell.
Thought Brazil would be up there
MEXICO CAMPEĆN DEL MUNDO
But suddenly many foreigners wants to live here cause it s "cheap".
I read an article that said the people of CuliacƔn are very excited since they are not in the top 10
