I appreciate your naivete but we have to face the truth. The homicide[+] rate of South Africa (as of 2018) is 36.40. For comparison, Afghanistan is 6.6. The US sits at 4.96. Most of Europe is below 3. And that's just the kiling part. South Africa is notorious for its rampant sexual violence. [++]
[+] Within the broad range of violent deaths, the core element of intentional homicide is the complete liability of the direct perpetrator, which thus excludes killings directly related to war or conflicts, self-inflicted death (suicide), killings due to legal interventions or justifiable killings (such as self-defence), and those deaths caused when the perpetrator was reckless or negligent but did not intend to take a human life (non-intentional homicide). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...

- vagrantJin 5y agoThis isnt the right thread to wax lyrical about your skill in linking wikipedia articles for crime stats. Its about cartels on Mexico taking the fight to the police. My point was an aside to OP seeming fascination of including South African crime when it isn't relevant. Wait for the right post and we shall discuss at length about the dangers of painting pictures with mere quantitative analysis.
