Task & Purpose/Business Insider: Mexico Averaged 4 Murders An Hour In May, Its Highest Recorded Homicide Rate Ever

The steady increase in deadly violence that Mexico has experienced over the past three years continued in May when 2,890 people were killed — an average of 93 a day, or almost four victims an hour.

The total number of victims surpasses the 2,746 recorded in March to make May the deadliest month this year, and it topped the 2,750 victims registered in October, making May the deadliest month in two decades, the period for which the government has released homicide data.

There were also 2,530 homicide cases opened in May. Cases can contain more than one victim, and May’s total was the most in a month this year and the most on record. The daily average of 93.2 homicide cases was also an increase over April when it was 90.7 cases a day.

WNU Editor: These are the murders that have been registered. Mexico also has mind-blowing statistics on people disappearing. Mexicans go to the polls on July 1, and violent crime is one of the top 2 issues that voters are concerned about (the economy being the other).

Firearms were used to kill 13,286 people in the U.S. in 2015, excluding suicide.[10] Approximately 1.4 million people have been killed using firearms in the U.S. between 1968 and 2011. This number includes all deaths resulting from a firearm, including suicides, homicides, and accidents.[10]

Compared to 22 other high-income nations, the U.S. gun-related murder rate is 25 times higher.[11]

Fred, have you compared knife murder rates between the us, and other countries? Like the uk vs us? Of course countries where guns are highly controlled have less firearm murders than America. Also wanna state that the sky is blue? It's not a gun problem, it's a people problem. Guns are controlled in America more than they ever have been before. Yet over the years, our murder rates are going up, not down. Its absolutely a people problem. Seeing it any other way is lying to your self..
