Yeah Mexico is more dangerous than both T&T and Jamaica too although we have higher per capita rates...OFFICIALLY..
So this is what I've been saying here for years,per capita does not tell the real story,it's about random and average decent people getting killed in all sorts of nice and everyday places doing nice regular everyday things..and I don't need you to validate it thanks,the UN has.

Look Bravos, me and you are boys but this shooting does litte to change stats. Yes, it increases the paranoia level but little to change stats. If you spread this shooting across all States, it would add up to one miniscule death per State.

It's so unfair that because of its size Mexico isn't on that list,but frigging st kitts and Nevis on it based on twenty something murders a year. On one bridge in Mexico at any given day you can get more than that.
They kill police and soldiers by the scores,judges,lawyers,journalists,politicians etc. that per 100,000 thing doesn't tell the real story. How can 20 incidents of murder in st kitts be greater that tens of thousands in Mexico ?
Most people right here in T&T have never heard a gunshot,witnessed a murder or seen a murdered person/body in real life.

Stats are the most efficient way to measure crime.
Statistically you're more likely to be randomly killed in the USA at a concert,school,mall,movie,work,restaurant etc.
Statistically the USA has much more deadly mass shootings killing decent law abiding citizens than anywhere else in the world.
Statistically the USA has many more random serial killers killing random people than anywhere else in the world.
Statistically the majority of people killed in T&T are involved in gang activity and reside in unsavory neighborhoods and 'hotspots'.

Look, pelon makes a good point about unreported crimes in Mexico but the fact that those murders are unreported, (most) indicates some kind of underground activity. In other words, those victims put themselves at high risk. The murder rate/stats (reported) would still apply (whatever that rate is) for law abiding citizens.

Church goers - dead. Movie goers - dead. Concert attendees - dead. LGBTQIA folks at a bar - dead. Sikhs in a temple - dead. Muslim college students - dead. People standing in a line at a post office - dead. Kids on street corners in Chicago - dead.

Bravos per capita is a stat that is used to measure crime rate since population varies. It clearly is a more level way of looking at probabilities.
Is it the most accurate thing in the world? Of course not. But it is more accurate than your pronouncement of "US being more dangerous" than Jamaica, etc.
Honestly how can you back up that statement that the US is more dangerous? Because you see terrorism on the TV? If you reject statistical analysis then don't you have to provide a replacement?
What exactly is your scientific replacement?

You will have to use a crane to pull out that specific UN Report on Dangerous Countries he is quoting ad nauseam.
The per capita methodology is a statistical tool used for comparative analysis across countries.
He clearly does not understand what per capita entails...don't waste your time mate...you cannot get them duncier than that.
Quite frankly, I have never meet such a dumb TT national and I have worked with many of them internationally.
His nonsensical post above regarding "murders on one Mexican bridge" tells it all.
And this thread is just an attempt to justify the ignorance he expressed here many moons ago.

In the meantime, the USA will continue using these reports to issue its travel advisories for our countries when we engage in our killing frenzies across the region.

I don't think you understand how stats work, this one incident does not put a lot of people at risk, (incidents like this) the only risk is the uncertainty of not knowing who is going to get hit next.
These events don't happen everyday and they usually don't leave that many casualties.
So, your chances of getting caught up in one is pretty small.

You all wasting your time,this thread isn't about per capita,it's about recognition that despite per capita many countries are proving to be more randomly dangerous to decent law abiding people going about their day to day activities ,than others.
In other words I am safer in a Caribbean concert or movie or mall than I am in the US,and so are my kids in school.
Any simpleton can surmise that Caribbean countries have higher per capita murder rates,but only a true idiot cannot see the different dynamics at play.
In other words if you want to get shot in T&T I can tell you exactly what to do and where to go,thing is in the US we don't have that luxury,your accountant can be your killer.

bravos....Therefore if WE in the USA are MORE likely to be killed in such a way...
Then, in order for that to be likely... we HAVE to look at the numbers.... to say "likely" it has to be based on a reference. In this case, it has to be NUMBERS.
Do you agree on that or not? You are a smart chap... so I think you will agree!
If you do, agree, then how many concerts, movie theaters, schools, workplaces, restaurants, etc are across the entire USA?
Get that TOTAL, then divide it by the TOTAL of deadly incidents that happen there yearly, then let us know if that result equals to an answer that says a person is "likely" to be killed there.

The implications of what happened in the US and what continues to happen far exceeds any calculation of per capita,that deadly randomness can never be calculated or preempted,this is the biggest danger and far exceeds the risk of becoming a victim of a gang war in a hotspot and the UN has recognized this that's why both Jamaica and T&T rank as generally safer than the US and that was before this and Florida and and and and ......

brother Bravos, sometimes when the horse is tired, you must call in cow.
Introduce irrefutable evidence to support that CARICOM has many positive quality indicators... including stats on crime that even the mighty can't refute.
Stats are "tricky"
Crime
You have a much higher risk of being a victim of mass murder in USA than any CARICOM nation.
You have a high degree of probability of being pulled over based on race in USA than in any CARICOM nation.
The incarceration rate, and time for crime... based on race is grossly disproportionate in USA compared to CARICOM
*Race relations are far more polarized in the USA than in CARICOM
Health
While overall "health care quality" is a subjective measure. Very few uninsured persons in USA can afford or have access to quality healthcare in USA
Society
American workers have zero (0) paid days leave (supported by law). It is up to a company to decide how much paid time a person can have. This significantly impacts the quality of life for the middle class in USA. Avg. salaried employee in CARICOM gets 15 days paid leave (and about 12000 public holidays).
PAID Maternity leave for new families & mothers is also not supported by law in USA. Very few mothers get more than 2 paid weeks in USA, compared to 1 month at least in CARICOM for salaried workers.
America is one of the ONLY countries in the world that legally does not support paid maternity leave.
So looking at the overall picture: Truce, America is a great nation if you can make it. CARICOM is a great region if you can make it.

I am not a mind reader but I will take a stab at both:
Less murderous yes. For now. But Bim got escalating issues.
Safer depends on some factors. A guy died from a stab wound after being in the hospital for over a month. Maybe he would have lived if he were in the US. If I get stabbed or shot I may prefer my chances to live in the US.
Look I am not your enemy. We do not see eye to eye on some things but the answer is about happiness. I lived in the US. I was not happy. I would sure as heck be happier in murderous Jamaica than America.

Chicago marked 2016 as the deadliest year in nearly two decades, data released by the Chicago Police Department shows.
The city saw a surge in gun violence in 2016:
762 murders,
3,550 shooting incidents,
and 4,331 shooting victims,
according to a statement released by the department on Sunday.

Nick, check out the "UN Negative Peace Index" for yourself and the parameters used for compiling the report. It is not analogous to "officially more dangerous countries" which has never been produced by the United Nations.
The fool cannot decipher the vast difference what he calls a "most dangerous report" (which is not produced by the UN) and a Negative Peace Index.
In the UN Negative Peace Index...there are many parameters like: the potential for war and terrorism defense spending etc, which we do not see in the Caribbean.
The GPI's main aim is to draw attention to the massive resources we are squandering as a result of violence and conflict and not to look at "official dangerous countries in the world."
Don't be fooled Nick. Beware of smoke N mirrors.
The Negative Peace Index is an entirely different matter from the so called "officially more dangerous report." They are separate and distinct. They are not interchangeable. One does not equate to the other.
It's like comparing primary health care coverage in the Caribbean and telling me life expectancy in the Caribbean is way better than the US. They are vastly different.
You cannot equate a Negative Peace Index with a made up United Nations "officially most dangerous report."
Countries which face the threat of war, are inclined to go to war and spend heavily on defense will always top this index.
The Homicide rate is only a small aspect of this report and one cannot conclude that the violence in Las Vegas makes the US more dangerous than Jamaica and T&T. And the overall homicide rate in the US is substantially lower than many Caribbean islands.

Any way the fact that you're cuddling up to nick and trying to sway his objective view is very telling.
Original thread title: This is why the US is officially more dangerous than Jamaica and T&T.
Quarrels among criminals fighting for the right to distribute drugs to the USA and guns supplied by the USA and resulting in particular areas accounting for 80% of murders cannot be an accurate gauge of a country's real danger to the general random public,real danger to the general public is what we witnessed couple days ago in Las Vegas among many many examples in many public areas..

"The annual survey's lead investigator says Mexico's second-place ranking was surprising, considering the deaths are nearly all attributable to small arms," NPR's Carrie Kahn reports, "and not tanks or aircraft fire as in the political wars of Syria or Iraq."
Mexico's murder rate is much much lower than Jamaica's,St Kitt's and all the Saints and much lower than T&T's,yet.
Mexico Is World's Second Most Violent Country, Report Says
Yet an idiot is going on about per capita,well go live in Mexico tun tun..probably only Barbados has a lower rate in the Caribbean,and still according to a big tun tun Barbados more dangerous than the USA because they have a much higher per capita murder rate with couple lil idiots shooting each other on the fringes...this has nothing to do with military positioning.

Link to report.
Read the report for yourselves. Right there in the executive summary...you don't even have to look that far.
"The GPI measures a country’s level of Negative Peace using three domains of peacefulness." (See the methodology starting on page 114) and the homicide rate is one of the 23 indicators.
The GPI covers 99.7 per cent of the world’s population, using 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators from highly
respected sources and measures the state of peace using three thematic domains: the level of Societal Safety and Security (homicide rate is only one indicator in this broad category); the extent of Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict; and the degree of Militarisation.
respected sources and measures the state of peace using three thematic domains: the level of Societal Safety and Security (homicide rate is only one indicator in this broad category); the extent of Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict; and the degree of Militarisation.
The levels of "Societal Safety and Security" is only one part of a whole set of three main elements which contribute to the Peace Index.
And the homicide rate of countries is only one of the 23 indicators.
The three broad themes which make up the 23 indicators are:
(i) Societal Safety and Security.
(ii) Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict
(iii) the degree of militarization.
The GPI's main aim is to draw attention to the massive resources we are squandering as a result of violence and conflict - the economic side (opportunity cost) of war and conflicts and not to look at, in your words, official endorsement of "dangerous countries in the world."
You cannot look at the incident in Las Vegas in isolation and conclude: "This is why the US is officially more dangerous than Jamaica and T&T." It's a bigly stretch to so do, as well as label the UN Negative Peace Index as proof of the most "Dangerous Countries Report."

In the context of contextualizing,in a population of 300 million, way more people die in road accidents than the gun violence..If you are so hell bent upon defending your tiny dots and their per capita rates of violence, you gotta be able to think wider..

It's not about that...if we were that big the pockets of gang violence would have less impact on our overall rates just like all those bigger countries with their higher levels of all types of deadly violence.
You make that comment after that article I posted above clearly defies all those wasted lines.
I never came here claiming the Caribbean doesn't have serious problems,all I'm saying is the levels and source of violence in those countries put regular citizens at greater risk than Caribbean countries,so much so that hundreds can get shot at a country music concert,no amount of ghetto slayings in the Caribbean can come close to that alarming reality.
So if an island of 100 people have one murder does that make them the deadliest country in the world with a rate of 100/100,000?
I rest my case.
Oh,you gotta be able to think wider than per capita,per capita of what part of the population exactly? Church goes,school kids,concert goers,cinema patrons,everyday people going about regular everyday activities?
No denying we have issues but thankfully we don't have those.

So you readily saying that the Caribbean has higher levels of "Societal Safety and Security" than the US despite higher per capita murder rates from few assholes killing each other in the gullies.
Thanks caus that's what I've been saying too,and how come the UK with an arsenal only second to the US is still ahead of us? Maybe has something to do with random mass murder and serial killers etc ?

I was waiting for the "isolated incidents" position.
I will take everything you said as fact - 80% of the murders in Trinidad are bad people killing bad people.
Can a neighbourhood be safe with that many bad people? Or to go further you are laying a population where this 80% are into drugs and killing others in the drug trade and that is it.
Impossible? No. But difficult to believe. I think the issue with Trinidad is the corruption. It is beyond me how Dana Seetahal's murder went unpunished. But then again a man who staged a coup is free as a bird. That is your problem right there.

Men have been charged and before the court with Dana's murder.
And Abubakr was freed by the privy council,it was all legal..he was just more crafty than the Gov't,I think his freedom sent the wrong message and was the main catalyst to the impunity we see today..still not as bad as active shooters mass murdering,not even Abubakr did that.

I want you to reconcile what he did and again use that phrase "it was all legal". The man shot the Prime Minister bravos. Legal?
From Wikipedia:
They were tried for treason, but the Court of Appeal upheld the amnesty offered to secure their surrender, and they were released. The Privy Council later invalidated the amnesty, but the Muslimeen members were not re-arrested.
Haves and have nots bravos. That is often the root cause to crime. People need to believe - whether real or imaginary - that there is a chance of fairness and upward mobility. That the people ( edit: law abiding citizens) at the bottom can rise to the top and the people at the top can crash to the bottom. This creates balance.

So much negativity – why, negativity sells? You read this thread and one would think the only thing going on in the world and the US in particular is advanced criminality….. Someone posted yesterday that 3 US citizens won the Nobel Prize for physics………any accumulation of three hundred and twenty millions of anything – you going to find some serious defects….. the Las Vegas situation is an extreme tragedy – but I am sure that can be juxtapose against maybe three million immigrants in the US that are being advantaged to an extent that is not happening anywhere else in the world
There have been so many young people who have entered the US with less than $100 – who have gone on to be accomplished individuals – who can now live in any zip code they chose - I don’t think there is another country in the world that has provided this kind of advancement opportunity for ordinary folks……. I bitch about the inequities of the US all the time – but the US is not all abbot inequities – and God knows there is a lot of it----- several young people from the Caribbean went to join ISIS – would any of such do what the Las Vegas did --- I guess if you leave the Caribbean and migrate to Syria – what you think? ------ just a contrary opinion

Of course life is more than this and that's my point,my country and yours are much more than a per capita murder rate and the UN has acknowledged that,just like the US is much more than mass shootings,but the mass shootings are becoming much more,so what next an attack on West Indian Parade day by some WI hater with machine guns?

BMW have been so good in the past that they had to detune cheaper cars because their performance were rivaling the M's,I think your old 335 was one of them..and I see they persist,lol..

Finally I ask, which individual in their right senses would start a thread and use a tragedy just to defend his crazy notion mouthed here years ago that TNT is safer than the USA.
The fact is, most people from crime plagued islands of the Caribbean who can afford it run to North America to seek refuge. And after a three year wait since he last had his jackass droppings, he has finally found the proof in Las Vegas.
Further, the people of the USA, in particular the folks in Las Vegas, don't need gloating from an insensitive uneducated fool...that's the last thing they would need in aftermath of this senseless tragedy.

"Gangs are greatly responsible for crime and violence in the Caribbean," the report reads. Statistics showed that people living in gang neighborhoods were more likely to be victimized, especially by assaults or threats. Worst affected was the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, Port of Spain, were around 60 percent of victims also reported gang presence where they lived.

Crime in Trinidad & Tobago: Here's How to Stay Safe
Trinidad and Tobago has some pretty disturbing crime statistics, and frightening stories when it comes to attacks on tourists. But, there are ways to stay safe, so don’t cross it off your travel wish-list just yet.
Attacks on tourists are increasing on both islands, with crime being a major issue all year round, not just in peak tourist season around Carnival and Christmas.
If you are traveling to Trinidad and Tobago, travel there with someone you trust, never do things alone, do all sightseeing during daylight hours, and always carry a mobile phone in case of an emergency.

Crime Hot Spots in Trinidad and Tobago
Many incidents involving firearms occur in tourist populated sites such as Fort George, the Pitch Lake, Las Cuevas beach, shopping malls, nightclubs and restaurants, which are primarily targets for robberies.
There are a few regions known to be more dangerous in the capital, Port of Spain on Trinidad, including; Laventille, Morvant, Sea Lots, South Belmont, and the inside of the Queen’s Park Savannah. At night steer clear of scenic rest stops and downtown Port of Spain.
Isolated beaches known for high crime rates are Englishman's Bay, Las Cuevas, just beyond Maracas Bay, and King Peter's Bay.
Trinidad and Tobago has some pretty disturbing crime statistics, and frightening stories when it comes to attacks on tourists. But, there are ways to stay safe, so don’t cross it off your travel wish-list just yet.
Attacks on tourists are increasing on both islands, with crime being a major issue all year round, not just in peak tourist season around Carnival and Christmas.
If you are traveling to Trinidad and Tobago, travel there with someone you trust, never do things alone, do all sightseeing during daylight hours, and always carry a mobile phone in case of an emergency.

Maybe isolated incidents...google your key words and see for yourself..like Maracas beach,shopping malls etc with robbery shooting etc,never heard about that..well Beetham is Beetham no arguments there,an area smaller than 2 NY city blocks between a highway and a main road..
English man's bay in Tobago? Really? Maybe isolated incident, Las Cuevas bay really? Never heard about that,the police on the North Coast lives are like a vacation,they have nothing to do,couple weed men up there and the odd bust but that's it..
Bro just google and find me the related articles,I know a foreign couple was attacked in Tobago and that threw off everything Tobago is really known for...it really hurt Tobagonians..
T&T's robbery and similar crime rates over the last few years have been the lowest in 30 years,robberies,burglaries,theft etc..actually Trinidad and the Caribbean are below the world average for such crimes..so if it's happening here it's happening more elsewhere also..and I can bring up similar blogs about Barbados etc..
Anything I type I can back up ok...T&T ain't no Rio or Caracas ok..not close..

The amount of gun violence in America is exceptional in the world, it has a profound impact on our way of life, and inflicts massive amounts of suffering.
Most studies show that countries that combine easy access to weapons and a large wealth gap also have high levels of gun violence.
Those are the knobs we have available to turn, and politicians have a responsibility to create laws to protect it's citizens in spite of cultural wars.
While I appreciate the fear a sect of the US have of losing their second amendment rights, but if as a nation continue to allow that irrational fear to control laws, USA will need to live with 110,000 people being shot a year of which 35,000 will die.
Semi-automatic weapons have no place in the hands of citizens. They are too lethal. Banning them will not 'stop' attacks by deranged lunatics. However, a ban would , very significantly limit the carnage.

With rights comes responsibility. For a very long time we accepted that there was nothing we could do about drunk drivers killing people in car accidents. Alcohol is legal therefore drunk drivers were a price we had to accept. M.A.D.D. changed the conversation in this country.
Before M.A.D.D. an estimated 21,000 people died each year due to drunk drivers. Thanks to this group the drinking age was raised, stronger legislation was passed for those who were guilty of DUI's, and a national definition of .08 was established to determine what the definition of legally drunk is.
Owing to the 2nd amendment guns will always be a part of the US culture. But to refuse to allow the CDC to research and determine what regulations need to be put in place at the national level to save lives is ridiculous.
USA should require that all guns must be kept in a gun cabinet, anyone who uses a gun in a crime should be charged at the federal level, rapid-fire guns should be as heavily regulated as automatic weapons and sawed-off shotguns, and should limit the number of bullets held in a magazine.
In the US one sees the do-nothing attitude that so many on the right have about gun violence. Choosing to do nothing makes US political leaders complicit in the death of every American who could have been saved if the US had sensible regulations.
The above makes to much sense, America will not comply to such .

The Founding Fathers fashioned a Second Amendment right to bear arms in a rural farming hunting and gathering nation full of enslaved Africans and free Natives without any full time professional local police force or national military, in order to defend the divine natural equal certain unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant men like them who owned property.
The white American majority is aging and shrinking with a below replacement level birthrate and shortened life expectancy due to drug addiction, alcoholism, depression, and suicide. Perhaps "dark loneliness and evil" fearfully marks and makes America's white majority armed soul more than we know, imagine and can accept.
What chance, pray tell, do more restrictive gun laws stand when a third of Americans deny dinosaurs ever existed, just because it ruins the first few pages of a 2000-year-old fantasy called the Bible.
Then when people who ought to be psychiatric patients are in charge of the asylum, don't expect much to change.
