- baristaGeek 3y agoI agree that being a local you’re not a target. Regarding the crimes against some foreigners: - It shouldn’t happen. That’s why we elected a new major with a very different philosophy from the previous one. - 1,8M foreigners came here in 2023 and 35 got killed. Again, the number should be 0, but once you see it as a statistic it feels improbable. - If you don’t do ilegal stupid stuff you shouldn’t be doing in the first place (you know what I’m talking about) you’ll be fine.
- gtech1 3y agoI dunno man, I'm a nomad, I looked long and hard at where to spend a few months this winter and Medellin sounded attractive...until I read more about it. In the end, I opted for Europe. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12164423/Moment-gang-mini-skirt-wearing-Colombian-women-brutally-attack-male-British-tourist.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12164423/Moment-gan... https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-british-tourist-dies-after-29360880 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-british-to... No thank you. 35 deaths is the worst possible outcome. I don't want to leave the house in fear of getting mugged at knife/gun point and I'm sure those stats aren't even remote to being listed/accurate anywhere.
- gfarah 3y agoA significant portion of deaths resulted from drug overdose, and there was also a notable absence of acknowledgment regarding criminal activities perpetrated by migrants/tourists who arrived last year, despite numerous reported cases.
