  • geoquip

    When Gov’t do it it’s not murder.

  • Forgot Puerto Rico

    • Rose Marie Arroyo Mendez

      It is purely USA propaganda to continue demonizing Puerto Ricans, so that Puerto Rico would not gain world sympathizers for Puerto Rico’s independence movement, so that USA gov. could continue the colonial (dictatorship) status.

      • xar za czar

        rose you are stupid, puerto rico is nearly completely independent, and actually the majority want to become a state not independant, the independence movement is only favorable with less than 5% of the population, not to mention we would occupy you militarily before letting you be free so keep dreaming 🙂

  • Eliceo Ken

    So you keep spreading bad news about murder rates when in reality we are living in a good country but because it was on of yours so now you are trying to highlight about crime SHAME ON YOU ABC!!!!

    • JimyP

      The lib media’s agenda is to bring the US down, to weaken it for some reason unknown to me.

  • Jamiepg1

    They forgot the USVI where the murder rate per 100,000 was as high as sixty in recent years and on average is more than 45. Considering the entire population 104,000 that is unreal and under reported because the US does not want to protect our citizens but instead want to protect tourism.

    Actually, the homicide rate for Colombia is for 2013. In, it went down to 24.5 which means Colombia is no longer among the top 10 and Brazil is now among the top 10.
