I've had yanks talk about knife crime, like it's a justification for their obsession with firearms

The worst places for knife crime in the UK pale in comparison to the average knife crime rates in cities in the US

And then there's the general assault stats

The US is more dangerous across the board than the UK

I live in paradise, where shoplifting just about makes the front page. I don't lock my house up. I have absolutely zero fear of someone breaking into my place

I've had Americans tell me that they wouldn't feel safe living here, because they'd be worried that people would see it as an easy target for crime

Fear is so ingrained that they seem to need it

I suspect that it's because they can use fear to justify hate, and they really like hating over there.
