Was the list different before Trump? Is there a cause and effect because Trump said bigoted stuff? I mean are the gangsters in these cities really paying attention to Washington DC?

Who knew?

Everybody knew it that had read about that same article last July.

And I might add, a few called BS to that "Business insider" article for a number of reasons.

JoeOverJoe, What that article is showing is homicides per 100,000, it's a statistical number of just one factor, but they use that one factor to come up with a danger level of all big cities over a certain certain population for example one million people. There are many factors and scales you can look at to come up with an overall danger level.

This is why you sometimes see absurd findings that say a small tourist destination like Cabo, is more dangerous than a major city like Caracas.

Would you really rather walk a dark street in Caracas, over Cabo?

Now this is a Baja forum, and so you need to listen to Mexico music. Here is some music you often hear in bars and dance clubs in Mexico.

Caracas was once a great city, had some awesome times there. Cabo used to be nice. Both are now chitholes for different reasons.

I would rather visit Caracas, hope to someday again.

This gives the odds of, % of people that get killed,
6. La Paz, Mexico, had 84.79 homicides per 100,000 residents.
5. Tijuana, Mexico, had 100.77 homicides per 100,000 residents.
1. Los Cabos, Mexico, had 111.33 homicides per 100,000 residents.

Fails to say that Tj is meth dealers shooting each other and if Caracas is thieves killing for money.

In October I was walking down Av Constitution just north of Coahuila. A girl of 17 asks me, ¨quantos quantos.¨ A rather cute girl. I do ot buy uninflated balloons with meth inside them. I showed her my bottle of water, ¨agua mama agua.¨
I went to the restaurante on Ninos Heros. Walking back the same way, I see yellow tape and 2 bodies on the ground. The girl with the balloons got a black back bag and her 21 year old female friend got an ambulance, and died in the hospital.
The crazy nut case guy had trouble waiting for the police to clear the scene before he started yelling quantos quantos.
In Medellin I had problems with multiple muggers. (I gave them nothing, fight back.) Teenagers wanting to rob me of a couple of dollars, (cinco mil) so they could buy bazooka, the trash left in the barrel when they make cocaine, Got $1 you can smoke some. I got momentarly arrested for throwing a mugger and his big knife in front of a bus. No one could find the knife. Until I noticed the front tire on the bus went flat with the knife under it. At that point the cuffs went off of me and onto the mugger.

Stats do not reflect that Meddelin is more dangerous to me than Tj.
Colombiana gives better kisses.

Where does Caracus fit into the picture¿
Drug dealers killing each other or desperados killing for drug money?
I noticed that Venezolana has a better education than Colombiana.

If you have better information about dangerous cities post it up.
If not, stop complaining about thse who make an effort to supply information.

Well it is a video of cumbia music, and cumbia music did originate in Columbia in the 40's, but it's pretty must adopted in Mexico.

For example, Anicento Molina, was born in Columbia, moved to Mexico city in his 30's, and then moved to San Antonio, in is 40's, where his kind of music is very popular, and he put out some his best music when he was in Mexico, and the US.

Now later today, I think I will see Bohemian Rhapsody, about the band Queen and Freddie Mercury.

The Caribbean coast of Colombia is where the Cumbia originated as a form of music. Gradually, a graceful dance form evolved around this music and came to be known as the Cumbia dance. Today, it is the national dance of Colombia. The Cumbia dance originated around the late 17th century, as a courtship dance.
