Only Brazil and Mexico have more muders per year than the United States. Colombia averages almost 10,000 less murders per year.
Typical ignorant Americans, as usual.
I've been in Bolivia for two weeks and will be here, Chile, and Brazil backpacking for another 7 weeks. It's muy tranquilo aqui. I frequented TJ and Baja for years and never had an issue. Sure, bad things happen sometimes, but don't pretend the U.S. is some safe peaceful country.
I swear one American hears about a kidnapping or murder, oh boy! Those dangerous countries! Heck, Buffalo has one of the highest murder rates in the U.S. High than Oakland, where I live.
Don't let facts get in the way, though.
Have fun in Disneyland, bro.
