How can retards look at poor countries like vietnam, thailand, or china (rural parts of china that are africa tier), and they all are much safer than latin america, and just as poor if not more.
The reality is that there is a CULTURE of violence. Bad weak states, with bad law enforcements, and a complacent population, that is just too weak to stand against gangs, are going to have gangs.
But if you crackdown on them, no matter how bad things are economically. You will have less crime, and homicides.
Crime/homicides =/= poverty (and vice versa)
There is a very weak correlation between murders and gdp per capita btw.
