Excuse me?  Brazil's murder (intentional homicide) rate is around 24.6, the US is around 4.0 to 4.5 (varries slightly by study).  Property crime is also much higher.  I have no quarrel with Brazil or Brazilians, but don't white wash your country or dismissively disrespect mine just to shore up your national pride.  Also, don't look at the sensationalist media and social media for impressions on what the US is like, do research :P

Take your own advice... a big portion of the homicide rate is between rival gangs and don't exactly reflect how safe or unsafe the country or city is as a hole... don't buy what your own media is telling about brazil.

Those gangs kill a lot of innocent people, just saying. And they are everywhere in this country.
