“Medellin is considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world”

By medellintravelguide

Who is this person?  Jiang Yuxia of the China View newspaper:

“ Medellin is considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world, as drug cartels and deals are rampant there. “

Does she live in Medellin?  I think not!

Has she ever set foot in Medellin?  I seriously doubt it! 

Has she checked her facts about homocide rates in major metropolitan areas of the world lately?  Does not seem so!

Is this rampant, negligent news reporting at it’s worst? Probably so!

Was she bored and trying to find something to enter into her computer one morning?  Well, you can answer that one.

What a completely stupid generalization to make about a country she knows nothing about. Too bad her tabloid does not allow for comments or rebutals.  But then again, it is China!

BTW-Have you read much lately about how much China is persecuting the Tibetans?  Ask Ms. Yuxia to print an article about that next week!

I will reiterate.  I have never felt so safe in any city in the world as I do in Medellin Colombia.  74 countries and 480 cities I have been blessed to visit.

The homocide rate is lower here than in Philadelphis, Washington DC, New Orleans and Miami.

The people here love their President and may very well vote him into an unheard of third term in office.

Ms. Yuxia, get a visa and visit Medellin sometime. You may never go home!

Are you running for office or something?

What an absurd statement to make!
