The plural of anecdote is not data. To claim New Orleans as a whole as very dangerous and unsafe place is just mindblowing. It has its ghettos, but the tourist sections are trashy and inebriated, not dangerous.

And Brazil as a whole or even Rio as a whole isn't the place you are making it out to be. So why don't you use your own conclusion in there...

And sorry about NOLA... but it isn't just a ghetto, very near the river on the french part, close to the hotel for several blocks it was almost a dumpster.

Well I'm not going to rush to the defense of New Orleans.  It is one of the rougher - perhaps among the roughest - large cities in the country.  And some areas are still feeling the effects of the hurricane disaster that left it an utter wreck years back.  But to judge the US based on New Orleas would be like judging Brazil based on Rocinha.  Also, State crime rates vary widely as well.
