Brazil is very violent

Widespread poverty and extravagant wealth, flourishing drugs and illegal
arms trade and corrupt police all help to fuel crime in Latin America's
largest country, especially in cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro with their notorious slums, or "favelas." 

..

With a homicide rate of 23 per 100,000 people, or a total of 43,600
killings in 2003, Brazil is one of the world's most violent countries,
comparable to some countries in conflict. The United States, in contrast,
has a rate of about 5.6 victims per 100,000 people. 

..

The latest UN-Habitat report on the State of the World's Cities said
Brazil's organized crime and trafficking in drugs, guns and humans had
seen a sharp increase in recent years. Homicides among youths had
increased by 77 per cent over the past 10 years, largely because of the
prevalence of firearms.  



According to my numbers, the highest homicide rate in the US is found in
Louisiana (32% Black) with a rate of 12.5/100,000.

Puerto Rico (98% Hispanic) has a murder rate of 18.2/100,000, and
Washington DC (60% Black) has a rate of 41.8/100,000. (2001 numbers)

Note also the shifting of the blame from RACE to an inanimate
object--"guns"--and this is promoted by the UN. We will see a gun ban,
not from Congress but from New York and/or The Hague.
