Despite this tragic and meaningless world, although it is much better elsewhere, the situation is worse in other parts of America.

The tendency below is now reversing

Accordingly World bank And UN Drug and Crime OfficeThere are murder rates rising From 2014 to 2024, in four developed countries – all in America. These are Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States.

The history of the murders in the developed world is interesting. Since 1990, when the World Bank first counted the murders, only a few countries fell constantly, which resisted this tendency.

For 38 developed OECD members, the average murders per population reached their peaks in 2014. See the table below.

Although the average 2014 was 2.73 deaths per 100,000 population, most countries were very below. In fact, 21 were at 1%or below, eight was below 2%, and only four were over 5%. They were Lithuania (5.4%), Costa Rica (10.0%), Mexico (16.7%) and Colombia (28.7%). Obviously, the last two average significantly distorted.

Until 2024, the situation was worsened. The average is currently 3.07 and only 19 countries at 1.0 or below, over 5.0 per 100,000, including the US. See the table below.

On the positive side, Colombia reduced the murder rate by 3.8 per 100,000 and 2.8 in Lithuania. Other countries to reduce their rates include Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Finland, Denmark, Japan and Australia.

Today, the safest countries are Japan, South Korea, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland.

“For those who try to hate us. What? You have nothing. You are nothing. You are evil … You are hate!

Last Thursday, Trump said Reporters in the White House:

“The radical left causes the problem … When they play these games, bad things happen. I will give you a little clue, much more difficult than the right left.”

In contrast, the democratic leader Kamala Harris tweeted On September 11:

“ I was very uncomfortable with the fire in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family. Let’s be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this action and we have to work together to ensure that it does not cause further violence. ‘

The American media, including social media, makes Donald drowning Kamala.
