The latest data for Distrito is a city of 850000 people, with 600 murders a year. That’s a pretty morbid number. There are about 14,000 cops and 12,000 army personal. But that’s not enough to make people feel safe so there’s an added 100,000 private security guards, armed with a pistol at the very least, if not a shotgun. They’re not mucking around.

7. VALENCIA, VENEZUELA – 72.31

Valencia used to pull 40% of the countries GDP in 1998, these days it’s doing just 10%. Tons of people are less jobless, that doesn’t give people a lot to do. You know what they say, idle hands pick up knives and cull the population until a job opens up. Or at least that’s what my dad used to say.

8. PALMIRA, COLOMBIA – 70.88

A picture of Cocaine, Marijuana and hand grenades, need I say more. Look how dinged up those things are! Jeeze.

9. CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA – 65.53

One of the few countries that isn’t in South America, South Africa brought its A game and race crimes to the party to take the #9 spot.

Cali has an otherwise good international reputation if it wasn’t for all the death. The home of Salsa and rumored to be “Columbian Girls heaven”, it is however a shithole best avoided.
