Our graphs in Monday’s HOTLINE on how poverty, inflation, and out-migration soared under dictators Chavez and Nicolas Maduro got a lot of response from readers. One reader correctly noted we left out a chart on the quadrupling of homicides.

When Chávez took power in 1999, homicide rates were at around 25 per 100,000, and now that rate has jumped to 90. There were just under 6,000 violent deaths at the end of 1999, and now there are 26,000. This is one of the highest homicide rates in the world.
