Even by latin American standards would be one of the worst: Baltimore has record 45 homicides in a month (drug, compared)

Shocking that some American cities are far worse on a per-capita basis than the countries in latin America that people are escaping due to violence.

Amazing that Guatemalans are coming thousands of miles to escape violence in their country, yet Baltimore has over twice the rate of homicide.

Wow, some Democratic cities are now worse than Honduras and Guatemala

Wow, 45 homicides in just a month in a city of 600,000 people.

To contrast the violence in Democratic Baltimore compared to Republican states:

New Hampshire had 14 homicides for all of 2017 with 1.3 million people

North Dakota has nearly 150,000 more people than Baltimore and had a total of 12 homicides

To be fair, Massachusetts -- about as liberal a state as one can find -- had 135 homicides in 2017, out of a population of about 6.9 million. That's less than half the number in Baltimore, a city of just over 600,000.


There is another factor aside from liberal leadership that influences the relative murder rates of the places you've named. It's a "D" word. No, not Democrat. Demographics.
