I can not defend the number of fatal shootings in Chicago. However, according to Fox News, there were 61 police that were killed in Rio in the first six months of 2016. In addition, according to the same article, Amnesty International counted 265 shootings in just one week (obviously not all were fatal).

I am not saying that Rio is bad, just that we did not feel safe when we were there. We did see violence and it scared us. We did not think that Jardim Oceanico was in a bad area so when we went there we thought we would be safe.

Also, in the USA, "street justice" is not acceptable. We have a legal system and "street justice" is not an acceptable way of handing out justice.

Based on what we saw when we were in Rio, we would not go again. That is just our opinion based on our experience.
