Venezuelan here. I was gonna make the same point.

Imagine how bad Caracas is, given that the population is roughly the same (or a little larger than Chicago's). There are no official numbers for Caracas as the government "chose" not to report. But Chicago has a 15.65 murde rate vs. a +110 in Caracas (per 100 000).

I don't even want to think what's the rate for the equivalent of Engelwood in Caracas :(
