Honduras is a country in Central America that became an independent nation on September 15, 1821.
Unfortunately, this country has been plagued with extreme poverty and violence. These conditions have forced its citizens to flee, making it unwelcoming and disliked by many. Honduras should definitely be number one because it is like world domination there. I've actually been there and as I was crossing the street I looked to my left and across the street I saw some dude standing there minding his own beeswax when some other dude walked up to him, I thought he was going to just walk past him so I looked to my right to see if there was a car coming but nobody was around just those two dudes across the street and me so I'm about to cross when I look to my left again and the guy who was originally standing there was now lying down on the ground DEAD and soaking in a pool of blood and there was no sign of the other guy. And This all happened in slow motion so I am just standing there watching this guy, stabbed and dying and my iPhone was dead so I looked around to see my if anybody was around but this was a ghost street so I went back to my hotel and told my husband what had happened and we rushed outside to the dying guy but then we heard a mans voice yelling at us saying" don't touch him I have a knife go home or else I'll do to you what I did to this %*#€-$@! ". He said said this in English. It sounded like it was coming from our right so we went back to the hotel and called the police but when the police got there there was no sign of the murder. The guy was taken to the hospital and I don't know if the guy lived or not. Two days later we went home and never came back to Honduras ever again. -HeArT G$1000
