Juarez

The annual murder rate in Juarez has now reached 133 per 100,000 people living there. This makes it the highest anywhere in the world, and thus the most dangerous city in the world.

Just for comparison, New York City had a murder rate of 6 per 100,000 last year.

A fairly high percentage of the cars which I see on the road in El Paso, Texas USA now have Mexican license plates. For at least 50 years I thought that El Paso, Texas was without any doubt the asshole of the world. In a way these horrible events in our sister city confirms my earlier thoughts.
