Western mass media is inventing a whole panoply of lies about Venezuela http://www.pr-inside.com/western-mass-media-is-inventing-a-r2423105.htm
Now, the weird thing is that I am using figures attributed to the USA to come to the above conclusion. The Venezuelan opposition and the western media say that the crime rate in Venezuela is huge (soaring, highest in the world, etc.), meaning (or implying) that it is much higher than in the USA, for example. Let's assume that is true. We will double the crime rate. This would mean that 1 of every 30 Venezuelans (in that age bracket) is some sort of criminal.
I doubt it.Anyone who has lived and traveled in Venezuela knows that such a figure is completely ridiculous. If it were true, I would be getting robbed almost every day. In the small village where I live, there would be about 266 criminals! And this is a small village!
