Except for the meme that says the US is "3rd in murders througout the world".
Homicide rates are calculated on the basis of 1 homicide per 100,000 people.
In the homicide rates compiled for 113 countries, the United States is 75th on the list.
The Central American countries, such as Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela and Guatemala have the highest homicide rates in the world. Mexico isn't far behind.
Yeah, you're right, but the five cities on the list, we could do without, as far as homicides.
