I have known a lot of people that were involved in illegal activities, some went to jail but none got killed.
The Americas just got a lot more people with guns.

Also the part where you say "In the past 5 years, only one person that i personally knew was murdered"


In the past 25 years i don't know even know 1 person that was murdered.

I know 2 people who have been murdered, and I live in one of the safest cities in the U.S.

Well, maybe I should have said that before 2010 I never knew anyone who have been murdered.

This one person in the past 5 years was the only one that I knew that was murdered.

We do have lots of murders here in Fortaleza, but in 95% of the cases, the murdered guy won't be missed by many people... Maybe by his mother.... Maybe...

And one relevant fact is that 2015 is set to become the first year in this decade when the number of murders in Fortaleza is going to be lower than in the previous year. Maybe we have reached the "peak", and most of the "bad guys" were already killed by the other bad guys, and we're starting to run out of bad guys to get killed by rivals.

Thanks!

I created this thread because I suddenly realized that I must be some survival king, taking in account all those statistics that you see around in the internet.

It is a little shocking to realize this, when you lived in a city for your whole life, and you never felt unsafe, and then you realize the statistics are saying you live in some "very dangerous" city.

Maybe living in Syria is safer than living here? Or living in South Sudan? Or in Donetsk in the middle of the Ukrainian civil war?

Statistics are so damn funny...

By the way, let me give an exact number:

We had 1989 murders in the city of Fortaleza in the year 2014.

The city was 2.5 million inhabitants.

(in 2015 we had "only" 1533 murders so far...)

There is plenty of jobs here for coroner!

So what can a tourist do there, what can they see?? Are the beaches safe?

Fortaleza looks nice.
