86 homicides per 100,000 people

Honduras previously had a reputation for being a quiet country.

These two statements cannot both be true.

The equivalent US number is 4.8.

Honduras appears to have the highest murder rate in the world and climbing.

I wonder how much of the killing is related to MS-13, which has reportedly spread from El Salvador to other Central American countries.

Now what has happened since 2006?

Honduras was a quiet sleepy country at one time.

Look at what Obozo, Der Hilderbeast, Eric “the Red” Holder and various other U.S. departments and agencies do to make things worse in Honduras?

BATF did walk guns to Honduras....

NO, I am very serious. I have been watching what has happened there for several years. Obozo wanted to reinstate Mel Zelaya (ousted President & drug runner) and when they could not get that done they “bought off” the newly elected President of Honduras, Mr. Lobo. Now Mr. Lobo removed all the nationalist police chiefs and Security chiefs and came to the U.S. for skills in “investigation” (hee hee hee). On the 5th of October Mr. Lobo was in the White Hut meeting with Obozo.

You tell me this is not partly our meddling in their affairs.

The “gun walking” into Honduras may be the smoking gun on Der Hilderbeast’s involvement in this mess (Fast & Furious/Castaway/etc)

Of course she would never do anything so brash unless Obozo himself signed off on it. I am confident he did.

Bring the investigation on, Mr. Issa & Mr. Grassley.

“Honduras appears to have the highest murder rate in the world and climbing.”

There was a thread on this: Honduras, currently highest murder rate in the world. I thought I keyworded either “Honduras” or “murder rate” on the thread, but it isn’t coming up on a keyword search.

If I locate, I will ping you.
