Get some stats for knife and machete deaths. Those are the weapons of choice.
I dont know how this terrible incident turns into a US sucks rant. Less than a week after the 75th anniversary of D-Day, I am very sensitive to the hate US BS. If it sucks here so much, the borders are open in both directions. As for the Dominicans that I know, they are quite open about how unsafe it is. I’ll take their word for it.
