Whoever came up with the garbage meme deliberately picked the worst US cities and then some random Brazilian cities. There are many cities in Brazil with a rate in the 40s and even some in the 50 and 60 range. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rate

Just....wow


YodlinThruLife

So that makes it ok? "Sorry you're kid got shot because of our antiquated gun laws and corrupt politicians, but hey, take solace in the fact there are other shitty places in the world too."


flatfast90

Makes what ok?


Destiny_Dude0721

It's the fact that the "meme" is purposely misleading that's a problem.


[deleted]

No one said that it makes it ok. But OP is purposefully being misleading, which is not acceptable when you're trying to prove a point. His argument is completely useless because of this.


[deleted]

hmmm brazil has about 5 times higher homicide rate per capita than the USA. Guess OP made a mistake? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_countries\_by\_intentional\_homicide\_rate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate)


RogueScallop

If we excluded those 8 cities from the average, they'd have 20x the homicides.


Top_Novel3682

Brazil is well known for it's missing person problem.


RogueScallop

Thats got to skew their murder numbers to the low side.


DynamisFate

“Mistake” alright, look at how he’s circle jerking with other “america bad” down in the comments. Willful ignorant/spreading misinformation at worst, karma whore at best.


[deleted]

This is so misleading lol


TheGirthyOne

As a country the USA sits at 4.96 murders per 100k , Brazil at 27.38..... [2022 data](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/murder-rate-by-country&ved=2ahUKEwi866ip0OX5AhVxfDABHS_7BJUQFnoECBYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1Gxyq7Sl5Fnh1LZjbdHW17)

*Emporer Xi Jinping makes happy noises*


HuTyphoon

While the USA does indeed have problems, its not worse than Brazil thanks to your cherry picked statistics.


redpillman26

Cope


HuTyphoon

Righto buddy. I'm not from either country i'm just stating facts


DynamisFate

It’s okay, proper statistics are hard for them


acceptbetrayed

Bro Americans are shaking right now lmao. It's so easy to trigger them.


RebelJudas

OP doesn’t understand statistics and somehow still skewed them to try and say something


Chek_Brek_Iv_Damk

Great to see that the best unbiased news source is back with totally real not cherry picked data that isn't misleading at all and is 100% accurate


acceptbetrayed

It's a picture wtf are you talking about


Chek_Brek_Iv_Damk

The totally real 100% unbiased not cherry picked data


Raaddus

Brazil has one of the highest homicide rates in the world, much higher then the US’


acceptbetrayed

The picture shows the real facts that matter.


Raaddus

The facts aren’t real, they aren’t facts, understando?

Kaizen2468

Damn St Louis calm down.


simsimmer123

And people still vote for these politicians


raynadayz

Locking people up doesn’t solve crime. It leaves people fatherless. It doesn’t change the source of this shit, which believe it or not isn’t about parties


sndpmgrs

Relevant and interesting: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/03/violent-crime-in-sao-paulo-has-dropped-dramatically-this-may-be-why > 1997, Diadema registered a homicide rate of 140 per 100,000 in 1997, one of the highest in Brazil. By 2008, the homicide rate dropped to 21.1 per 100,000


[deleted]

Not loving the pic used to depict Brazil but ok?


trikytrev8

Go Baltimore, make Maryland proud!!! Thats one dumpster fire im glad to be away from.


Just-Browsing82

Where’s Chicago at???? Thought we was top of the list? Well that’s what they’ve been telling us for 30 yrs


Rasta_4_Jesus

All democrat controlled cities. Hmmm.

flatfast90

Another brilliant mind contributing to the political conversation


Rasta_4_Jesus

uh oh. Someone doesn't like facts. Its all good. Stay in your bubble


RebelJudas

Damn remember how republicans in those states and across keep making guns easier to access? Or did you conveniently ignore that to say some dumb shit online?


Tvow202

Look at Venezuela and how taking away guns was such a good idea, then look at Britain and Japan for their rate of murder, despite the severe lack of guns. People are gonna kill, top it all of 80% of gum related deaths are suicides. The people being armed should be an unadulterated right for all men and women in this beautiful country man. Peace on you brother.


RebelJudas

I dont think you quite understand what i said but good try, maybe next time youll get it right


RebelJudas

Oh i forgot to mention how most gun violence and violence overall is committed by conservatives who keep loosening gun restrictions, and both japan and britain are terrible examples, they literally prove the opposite of what you were trying to prove, the US is over ten times as many murders and instances of gun violence even when adjusted for population, but i expect nothing better from a boot like you


Tvow202

Bro why are you mad? It's all good to have a differing in opinion, just a couple or guys talking about what we think is best. No hostility required. Japan and UK are great examples on how even without guns, people will stab the shit out of each other, and yeah I think guns should be less restricted, unless you're a bastard you shouldn't get one. Bastards are still going to find ways to hurt you, regardless if it's with a gun, difference is you can defend yourself rather then rely on the police of all organizations to keep you safe. And the whole boot thing? What's up with that? You'll never find common ground like that.


Destiny_Dude0721

This is reddit, if you can't handle hostility then why are you trying to argue? Lmao play with fire get burnt. So, if I understand you correctly, you think that we should loosen gun control, because even if there aren't guns for them to shoot you with, they'll find other ways to hurt you? So we should loosen the laws so that everyone has a gun to protect themselves? Sure, totally. That'll work. Your proposition is totally dependent on some fantasy land idea that every person who will ever buy a gun will get it legally and will be a good person. Alright.


Tvow202

Who?


Destiny_Dude0721

Cares.


raynadayz

“Democrat controlled cities”, as if people don’t go into other cities, buy weapons from other cities, etc These cities have high concentrations of people. I’m sure Congress loves watching people blame democrats and republicans for the things about this country they despise. Because then you can keep loving your country while voting for them. Not saying you shouldn’t, just saying you hate a lot about it while blaming one party


[deleted]

What do these American cities have in common? 🤔


acceptbetrayed

They are in America and America has tons of guns and corrupt conservative politicians.


[deleted]

Conservatives are soft on crime? 🤔


acceptbetrayed

Conservatives are soft and flaccid.


[deleted]

Liberals just cut theirs off.


acceptbetrayed

That's their choice and I support it.


[deleted]

Come to think of it I do too


acceptbetrayed

So we agree. Liberals > Conservatives.


[deleted]

Why do you need my approval? If easily manipulated dickless simps are your thing just own it.


acceptbetrayed

I didn't ask for your approval, I was letting you know that we agree that Liberals > the easily manipulated American conservatives. They aren't all dickless simpls though, you have gone too far with that comment. They are just poorly educated.


redpillman26

I’m convinced America is a third world country lol


germanbullmilker

Even 69 isn’t safe in St. Louis.


Chance-Skill-2170

Looks like i'm moving to St Louis then.


acceptbetrayed

Americans are TRIGGERED by this post lmao.


[deleted]

Actually i think its Americans disproving this post actually


acceptbetrayed

I looked at the profiles for the top few posts attacking OP and they are Americans.


[deleted]

Attacking op by disproving the post?


acceptbetrayed

Attacking OP because they are triggered. They aren't disproving anything. The OP is facts. They are mad and bad and crying.


[deleted]

Well either you are willfully being ignorant about them disproving the post or you are seeing another comment section doesn't matter either way op is wrong and you clearly are as wrong as op


acceptbetrayed

They aren't disproving the post, they just don't like the way it is framed. Point to which facts they have disproven from the original post.


[deleted]

I honestly don't need to nor want to because you have eyes so use them im not your parent


acceptbetrayed

You have spent all this time replying, but you wont show me the exact thing that will make me look stupid? Interesting.


[deleted]

Im replying because its fun pissing people like you off and i do keep telling you where to look you just choose not to do so im not your parent


Substantial-Ad3178

Okay. Let me try. Soccer is stupid and American Football is a far superior sport. Let's check the profiles of everyone who doenvotes me. I bet you they're mostly non-Americans.


acceptbetrayed

itgrog
