Researcher projects 5,000 will die in Ciudad Juarez in 2011

By differing measures, Juarez ranks as the most violent city in Mexico, most violent in the Western Hemisphere, or even the most violent in the world, the local newspaper El Diario reported earlier this month (link in Spanish). Juarez, with a current population of 1.3 million, has lost more than 230,000 residents in an "exodus" from the daily barrage of drug-related killings, kidnappings and extortion operations.

"And no one does nothing," Ochoa said. "It's going to get worse."

"What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

Well I see that "turnabout" is continuing with his or her usual non-contributing type posts. Here you go turnabout: How about backing up you statement with facts? It would seem that there were plenty of statistics and facts that seem to validate the premise.

Think about this: as they kill off the population and as the population of Juarez keeps decreasing, the kill rate per 100K will continue to rise assuring that Juarez will probably maintain their #1 position for years to come.
