Shots fired at least 10 injured at Chiefs Super Bowl Parade
Way overstated. Have you ever been to any of the places you mentioned?
Do we have trouble with violence? Yes. As bad as many other places in the world? Not even close, actually. And before you start posting general, stilted statistics, better consider population density and all manner of violence rather than just gun violence.
Back to the incident at hand, terrible and mind-boggling. I can't agree enough with the poster who, "Why?" That is the big question: how does anyone find shooting people randomly to be an answer for their life?
Yeah, Lebanon is borderline close to being a failed state and Somalia is a lawless, ungovernable state where Islamic jihadist terrorists control or are warring over different regions of the state and the violence in Mexico, while troubling, extremely problematic and dangerous with semi-narco states is mostly a big issue in upper northern areas of the country, like Juarez. The rest of Mexico doesn't have the same systemic, institutionalized problems Northern regions of Mexico near the border have had. In fact, one of the major reasons for the porous Southern border issues is because of the control, power and violence the Mexican drug cartels have with psychopathic gunmen, called coyotes, engage in human/sex trafficking, drug smuggling use violence, intimidation, coercion, threats of violence against family or friends and in some cases, even torture local Mexican villagers, farmers, residents, men, women and children are targeted. "Coyotes" are ruthless, vile maternal fornicators no rational human being should ever be so unfortunate to come across.
Lebanon is a failing state due to a gerrymandering national legislature divided amongst Marionite Catholics and Muslim population including Hezbollah that was agreed upon in 1990's that helped end a near-two decade long sectarian civil war that lead to Isreali and even U.S. military interventions in 1983-84 which ended abruptly when some Tamil Tiger-allied Hezbollah Islamist butt crevasses put a bomb which exploded in US Marines barracks in 1983 and some major U.S. intellegence heads didnt do due diligence, get off their arses a bit more and push harder to gain more inside information to find out who and how these attacks were funded then Casper Weinberger shrugging his shoulders like an helpless idiot, declaring "We don't know" after letting them get away with it while disappearing down rat holes they came from.
Lebanon is a showcase in how long-stemming, festering sectarian, religious, socio-political problems can plague a region, just like Yugoslavia's breakup led to ethnic cleansing, genocide amongst Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks for most of the 1990's.
The legacy of French imperialism is also a key factor in Lebanese socio-political and economic struggles today and shouldn't be overlooked similar to other former French colonies like Algeria, where De Gaulle's decision to grant independence to FLN Algerian revolutionaries was so divisive, controversial, and polarizing that it lead to a assassination attempt on De Gaulle's life, a weak-willed failed coup de'tat from a breakaway fringe section of the French Foreign Legion, French forces serving in Algeria opposed to De Gaulle granting Algerian independence and a short-lived terrorist faction after forces loyal to De Gaulle crushed the 1961-62 Algiers Putsch. Famed French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre had his Parisian apartment bombed and had so many death threats had to go into hiding due to his outspoken calls for Algerian independence. Since the end of WWII, in terms of internal/external threats to the security of French state, "Algerian affair" of the late 50's/early 60's remains maybe the only instance where either a far-left/far-right political faction came close to overthrowing the state, save for perhaps mass student protests in May 1968, termed "events of May 1968" by French and European historians.
