Out-migration contributed to a decrease of violent deaths in Venezuela

| February 29, 2024

Massive immigration departing countries like Venezuela have reduced the potential victims for violent crimes. A combination of low job opportunities, as well as the reduction of the number of potential crime victims, have in turn contributed to members of violent gangs immigrating out of Venezuela. Guess which is one of their destination countries?

From Bloomberg:

(Bloomberg) — Venezuela’s rate of violent deaths dropped to its lowest level in more than two decades following years of massive migration as both criminals and victims fled the nation’s economic crisis.

The Venezuelan Violence Observatory registered 26.8 violent deaths per 100,000 inhabitants this year from a rate of 35.3 for every 100,000 habitants in 2022, Roberto Briceño León, director of the Observatory, said in a webcast Thursday. That’s its lowest since 2001 and is one-third of what it was in 2016, he added.

Young people, who have traditionally been the main victims of violence, have fled, while criminals and gangs have emigrated due to the lack of opportunities to commit crimes, according to Briceño León.

While violent deaths in the world have increased due to wars, in most Latin American countries the trend has been a reduction in homicide rates, he said. Venezuela’s 2023 rate still remains high, and in the region is only surpassed by Ecuador and Honduras.

Bloomberg has the rest of the details here. Meanwhile, the number of illegal aliens in the United States exceeds the population of 36 states.

It’s easy to see why criminals flock to our border. We are, after all, the Land of Opportunity. We have relatively well-to-do and healthy citizens with little situational awareness who are easy targets for thieves, rapists, and murderers. That Gucci bag shows that you have money, and you’re so fixated on your new iPhone 15 that El Guapo and Gang can just walk right up to you.

We also have weak-on-crime DAs and judges who believe that criminals shouldn’t face prosecution. Those same DAs and judges are often the ones that will try to ensure that a justifiable self-defense shooting is vilified and that the “racist shooter” is sent to prison for a lengthy stay. Montanez Salvador the 13th wasn’t going to harm the man he pulled a gun on to demand money from, nor was he going to do anything inappropriate with the helpless wife. By defending himself, Joe ‘Merica proved himself to be a bigoted MAGA gun nut looking for a target.

Finally, we have an eroding law enforcement system. The Feds are too busy chasing so-called extremists while answering whichever call their political masters dictate. State and local cops are facing decreased funding and recruitment/retention, leading to undertrained and underqualified officers with a “shoot first” mentality that further undermines their departments. What should be considered “good shoots” are judged to be evidence of the systemic racism in our police departments. White officer, Black suspect? Racist. Black officer, Black suspect? Indoctrinated racist. Any officer, White suspect? Medal of Valor.

In other words, criminals are free to cross into our country, risk little in terms of prosecution for anything less than SA or murder and can rest assured that they are a part of the victim class if anyone–cop or citizen–uses force against them.

Testify! That many more reasons why we all need to…Prepare! And now the Venezuelan grubermint is refusing to allow the deportation of their criminals back to their country. These despicable POSes are just killing Americans and breaking American Laws that Americans don’t want to kill and/or break.

I say swift and sure draconian justice for these parasites, public hangings and deportations. If the deporting planes are not allowed to land then do a low level pass and push the SOBs out of the plane. Take bets as to how many times and/or high high they bounce.

Cut a deal with Bukele in El Salvador. I’m sure he can find accommodations for these fine, upstanding Venezuelans. I’m sure they’ll get along famously with the 70,000 + MS-13 and 18th Street gang members that Bukele has in his cells. Put some cameras in the recreation yard and sell access to the livestream as they shank each other. Win, win.

KoB, you never fail to disappoint with your common sense solutions to problems. I like the way you think sir.

Not here in Florida!

Our Governor is fighting the war on woke, criminals are locked up under the 3 strikes law, and permitless concealed carry is the law of the land

They’re just sending their best and brightest, folks looking for a fresh start in a new land, they truly are the wretched refuse of their teeming shore.

NOTICE! All Venezuelan gang members are cordially invited to following cities that DO NOT PROSECUTE crime:
New York City
Chicago
Oakland
St. Louis
Baltimore

You are also welcome to take up residence is Wilmington & Rehoboth, Delaware courtesy of Joseph R. Biden, Don of the Biden Crime Family.

You left out pretty much all municipalities in California.

Don’t forget the Vice President’s residence at #1 Observatory Circle (at the U.S. Naval Observatory in DC).

Instead, we are getting Venezuela’s violent deaths courtesy of their illegal immigrants. Isn’t that good news. And we can’t deport any of them because Maduro announced he will not accept any more deportees.

David

The fact that Maduro doesn’t prevent HANO-dropping them over Caracas

Hack Stone

What if the US flies a C-130 into Venezuelan airspace, with a combat escort, and lands on a Venezuelan runway? Will they dare shoot down an aircraft carrying their own citizens over their own territory? Hack doubts that, so Plan B would be to load a Chinese Spy Balloon with the Venezuelan Migrants who are “this close” to turning their lives around, and release it in a jet stream heading towards South America.

How many Venezuelans can fit on a LAPES pallet?

IF this wasn’t all part of Biden’s plan, AND if the media wasn’t complicit in keeping it quiet THEN this border debacle would rank right up there with LBJ’s horrific social and foreign policies (as well as every other type of presidential/party policies—those two are just the worst of the bad lot).

In Vermont Two (2) our recent drug/gang related killings were both done by 15-year-old Somalis.

Has anyone considered relocating them to somewhere off of the coast of India?

https://allthatsinteresting.com/north-sentinel-island-sentinelese-tribe

MustangCPT

Unfortunately, there’s only around 400 North Sentinelese. They’d kill as many as they could but they’d quickly be overrun. Now, you released them onto the island 5 or 6 at a time…

MustangCPT

The other concern I have for the North Sentinelese is that they may not have immunity to common illnesses. They really don’t deserve that. As far as the Venezuelan criminals, fuck ‘em.

I would not put it beyond the CCP to weaponize the illegal aliens from China against us “

I’d lay money on that being an established plan

Just waiting on the orders to proceed.

Normally I’m not a huge fan of extra judicial killings. Normally.

Ellie Nessler did the same thing in a California courtroom during a hearing on the case of the molester of her six-year-old son.

Venezuela, like Mexico, handed their dirtbags a map and told them to go north.

The border needs a minefield.
After the first few kabooms, the rest should get the hint

Odie

They will just follow the path of previous kabooms to know where the clear path is.

I’m sure we will have no trouble finding people willing to keep the line stocked and ready for the next group.

We could call it environmentally friendly, as there would be fewer car drivers and PETA would be happy to have fewer people willing to kill animals for a food source. Win Win.

MustangCPT

That’s why you involve your friendly neighborhood Engineer and his rowdy son, the Artilleryman. See, you have Engineers lay out your minefield and have a dedicated Battery with guns laid and loaded with ADAM/RAAMS and, when your Scouts notice the initial *BOOMS* you initiate a fire mission to rapidly lay down new mines. Too fucking easy, guy.

I got two full cans of that gold from Lake City a few years ago, it went up in value.

Odie

The air force wouldn’t let me play with the fun stuff. However, I did put fuel on the aerial delivery systems.

But since FJB says we would need nukes and F15s, one would think a crop duster or Cessna 172 could be pressed into service to drop home made “stuff”. Lots of small rural airports with grass strips and no tower.

Blaster

Not to worry! They will soon be here, if they’re not already. The criminals will have an abundance of “customers” and the victims will not be forgotten about like they were in their former home countries.

Yeah…
They’ve exported the violent shitbag, dirtwad, nosebleed, no load, syphiliticaly contaminated, ass wipe infected, tampon eating, smegma licking, smurf eating, tone deaf garbage can lid fuckers to our welcoming shores so their murder, rape, assault, and drug infested, stuffed teddy bear loving, kitty can banging shit baggery could continue in Venus-flytrap-uzula without from the Zeta owned PD.
