I'm really jealous of the youth who get to grow up being cool and awesome in places like this.

Drugs are cool, guns are cool, shooting people and dying from being shot is cool as gently caress.

As a white person who regularly travels through poor black areas and walks through projects, I always felt pretty safe.

Black people seem to be terrified of white people in those areas. One time I was on a bus that was entirely packed with black people except for 2 seats on either side of myself. They were the only free seats on the bus and no one wanted to get near me

I was actually surprised not to see Lagos on that list of the most violent cities, I guess their reputation is a lot worse than the reality.

actually, they're almost all South, Central or North American (nice work United States, you're like the only properly developed first world country on the list and with multiple entries no less) and then South Africa is the only African country that has cities on the list.

From what I heard, in Lagos if you report a murder, the cops arrest you for committing it, so literally no one ever reports them and the corpses just lie there and rot, so that makes sense.

For a place to have murder statistics, someone has to care enough to mark it down as a crime.
