I agree 100%. Ending the war on drugs and legalizing drugs would be the best solution for the United States and Latin America. However the 3rd world which starts south of the border in Mexico and goes all the way to the tip of South America relies on the flow of drugs north and the money coming south. I am sure the governments of most of those countries would not want the drug war to end.
The people who benefit from this idiotic "war on drugs" are the police, the military and a few corrupt politicians. Besides being themselves involved in the business, they get weapons, equipments, and financial support to increase the number of cops/soldiers. All they have accomplished is more deaths, more prisoners and more drugs. The biggest drug dealers launder their money in the biggest banks [HSBC, bank of america and all the rest] because their money is safer in western banks; drugs producers get paid little, more for the traffickers, and it is drug dealers in the u.s. and europe where the big bucks are.
Most people will support ending the "war on drugs" in latinamerica, but the weapon industry will NOT accept a lost in their income just because too many people are dying, that's their business, they control the puppets in washington, which in turn control the puppets leaders in latinamerica. Another thing, not all countries south of the border are 3rd world sh**holes. They are plenty of nice/safe places.
It has to do with sale and trade of illicit drugs.
Yep, this is what its ALL about. Mexico has to keep every city in the US stocked and supplied in illegal drugs...that is a HUGE task, especially since they are so consistent!
Heroin has extremely tough laws on its sale or possession, but at the same time, numerous US cities and states have major heroin epidemics...see anything shady or wrong with that?
St. Louis has had a lot of problems over the years...especially east St. louis...and Ferguson
some areas are nice...others "do not enter"
Neither Ferguson (which would lower Saint Louis's rate) or East Saint Louis actually count in this list because both of those are separate cities outside of city limits which is what their only counting in this list which unfairly treats American cities as dangerous when the other cities on this list essentially city limits is the entire city, while America city limits often cover most of the ghetto and none of the good parts of it.

Today 3rd world countries are measured by their GDP, freedom and human rights of their citizens and well as education and life expectancy. Most of Latin America is 3rd world. Crime is not usually counted. Latin America has lots of problems. Even countries doing well in the recent past like Venezuela and Brazil have slipped back down. Belize and Costa Rica do better than most but they are very small.
If you look at the map almost all countries south of our border are considered 3rd world by at least some measurements.
I agree there is a lot of money involved in the drug trade and those profiting like your examples are not going to give it up easily. But if the US was to legalize all drugs it would have a huge effect many of the countries south of us especially Mexico.
If there is every a real shift in thinking here, that taxing drugs makes more financial sense than fighting them it could happen. Its working out well so far in states that have legalized some form of marijuana use.
Well if intellect is part of the equation, please explain what "importing the third world" has to do with Detroit, St Louise, New Orleans and Baltimore making the list?
look at the inner city of the ones you mentioned. they are already 3rd world, arent they?

ROTFLMAO?!?!!!!
If you can't figure THAT out then my post definitely applies to you.
This report HAS to be false. They are all gun free zones, where guns are either totally banned, or so highly restricted it is almost an impossibility to get them legally. Therefore, there can be no murders, or violence committed by people using a gun, and as there is no other type of violence, then they must be crime free.
