Why is America a dangerous country?

[Melanie31]

Why are there so many crime rates in America? America doesn't seem safe to me at all. What do you think?

[Bricealan]

@Melanie31 We get every crime committed, REPORTED TO US IMMEDIATELY. Although it seems like more crime NOW, but keep in mind with the news media hungry for a story' you get it within a millisecond of it happening. Mass murders, yes. School shootings, yes. The news outlets 'encourage those halfwits to commit crimes!

According to the news outlets, every MAGA- Republican, is a Nazi, Fascist, and a danger to society, so of course they have to be assassinated, RIGHT, just the way it happens in any third-world country... if you don't like the government LEADERS... just kill em' ! ISN'T THAT THE WAY TO RUN A COUNTRY?

Copy-cat killers? Probably. You don't' like what someone does or says... shoot em'

Truth be told... who Does have an answer for the ongoing slaughter of humans?

[Iron_Man]

Every country is dangerous We can’t control every crazy person out there but we do the best. We can yo stop craziness when we see it happening live

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for the award, Melanie

Well, until about the 1960s, the USA was a fairly religious country with intact families. Moms and dads raising kids together, divorces were very low, virtue was more of a thing, being honest, hard working people. The degenerate forces that had always been railing against decency and faith, family, marriage grew to the point that things started to tip.

Feminism reached its peak and women were told to be free. Getting jobs was freedom and families were oppression. The birth control pill hit the world and promiscuity and sex with no worry of pregnancy, no care to be married to a person, just fuck whoever you want became the norm. People became less and less religious.

Immigration which had mainly been from Europe, when where our nation came from and where we inherited our culture changed to all of these 3rd world countries with 100% different values and traditions and faiths and the country became even more divided.

Degeneracy and porn and sex in every movie, every song was about sex, casual, non marriage sex, easy, no fault divorce became a thing, then everyone could just tank their family the moment they get bored or fall "out of love". Everything became about me, me, me, my pleasure, I'm entitled, I'm entitled. Whatever feels good, whatever makes me happy. Everyone is owed something.

Divorce started to go up. More broken families and kids growing up in broken homes. Degeneracy grows and grows until today we are performing surgeries on kids because they feel like the other sex, The welfare programs incentivized having babies with no dad and the black community was decimated. Kids out outside of marriage went through the roof. Tons of kids in broken homes, promiscuous sex is the standard, porn everywhere.

In the 60s the first shootings started. Clock tower in Texas. In 1984 some man takes out everyone at McDonalds in San Diego. Society is more and more degenerate, faith is almost gone, we are just evolved animals. No purpose, broken homes, shootings and murders, mass shootings just happen more and more and more.

The morality and virtue of the people has fallen. We went from a noble, virtuous people to soulless, nihilistic, hedonistic people.

Before the 60s, mass shootings, broken homes, mass degeneracy were not a thing.

[GdanskDawson]

@Miristheiss Pure conservative bullshit.

The degradation of 'traditional values' since the 1960s is not responsible for violence. Instead, it is the backlash from conservatives and the ill-informed, detrimental, and misguided policies that have been proposed to restore a past that never actually existed.

In addition to the ever-increasing availability of guns and the NRA's aggressive lobbying, these stupid attempts to revive a fictional past have contributed to societal tension and violence: the increasing economical inequalities; the gutting of walfare programs to help the depressed and the mentally-ill; the war on drugs and the "macho" gun-toting culture that surged in responsive to more liberals attitudes towards gender, to name a few.

Before the school shootings of today, there were a lot of racial massacres. A whole fucking lot. There were lynchings, frontier justice and, contrary to your claim, senseless murders and mass shootings have always existed. In fact, there were more than 30 mass shooting incidents between 1900 and 1950, most with more than 4 dead.

[Miristheiss]

@GdanskDawson
Here is one degenerate now.

[GdanskDawson]

@Miristheiss Like all conservatives, facts are not your friend. I get it.

There are lots of dangerous countries. And every country has regions that are unsafe.
America is actually quite safe unless you stray into bad neighborhoods.

America is a big place. There are tens of millions of people concentrated in large cities, there are vast suburbs, but most of the country is sparsely populated with small towns and farmland. Certain parts of large cities are probably the least safe.

Americans are not more inherently violent than people in other countries.

There are around 330 million citizens and upwards of 450 million people in the country from all over the world at any one time, so more crimes are going to happen here than in countries with low and relatively homogeneous populations.

I have lived here all of my 71 years and never been assaulted, robbed or confronted with a weapon. And I've spent LOTS of time in areas that would be considered the most dangerous.

Media plays a role in making America sound more dangerous than it is.

[Cormac995]

Lack of mental health care, the death of the middle class, growing poverty and a broken legal system. Also, if you look at the statistics leaded gasoline caused a massive spike in violence our gene pool is still recovering from if it ever can. Mental health issues are often genetic so when you fuck up a bunch of people brains with polution and then they have babies the kids are born mentally ill. Vqaccines aren't giving your kids autism corperations dumping waste and putting whatever they want in your food are.

[RavVid]

Well I don't know that it is. The one afternoon I was in the US, it didn't seem so.

I was heavily involved in community safety for some time and the police told our safety group that it was only about 20 people that were responsible for nearly all the crime.

Generally the bigger the population, the more nutters there are in it. About 2% have social mental illnesses. The US has a fairly large population so you are going to have more nutters. Nutters generally don't do well so nutters will aggregate together and amplify the nuttiness.

[lightbulb27]

I've not had a problem in 59 years. I've had "off" people around me including and mostly on foreign trips, but I dealt with them peacefully and well.

fatherless ness, broken homes and poor diet as well as some bad ideas like we cannot disicpline people in school/home. A lot of the issues are concentrated in druged out areas, poor black/hispanic areas.

Smart people stay out or tread carefully in bad areas.

I will add... easy access to weapson, but it's not as big a problem as media makes out. But with Columbine, it set loose an idea of a generation on how to retaliat and act out.

There are crazy angry people you see in media.

but I got everywhere, new york city, ride a bike all over, drive all over. rarely a problem. more a problem with crazy drivers.

[ManOnFire]

Slow down a minute. America is full of crime, yes, but we still are not killing people because of whatever religion they believe in, publicly executing them, or making it actual law that a man can beat his wife. Nor are we torturing or murdering people just for stating our disagreement with the government.

Everyone is running to the U. S. for a reason, not the other way around.

[Kaneki05]

Because they keep guns around and don't keep the criminal and mentally unwell people locked up instead give them said guns and set them free.
Then after something bad happens they just say 'Thoughts and prayers' until next time.
But no matter how much that is pointed out they ignore it.
Also ironically now Maga is blaming South Park when they constantly point this out but I'm sure South Park is the reason Kirk was shot right? Smh

[ohsheeT]

It is very safe for the most part. When it becomes un safe fir people who get cought up in the politics of life and put yourself in bad places with bad people just like every country. And countrys people

I feel very safe and if something was to happen to me it's because I was at the wrong place wrong time or just a freak accident but where I live it's a good place

[BadApple69]

May I ask…. Where are you from?


To answer your question crime can be controlled but the left (for whatever reason) doesn’t want to control it. That’s the problem with these blue cities. Trump is trying to lower the crime rate just to prove it can be done.

[msc545]

We will not let you commit crimes in order to "control crime".

[BadApple69]

Commuting what crimes? Locking up criminals? That’s a crime. With that thought process civilization doomed!

[msc545]

Violating people's legal rights is a crime.

[BadApple69]

What rights are being violated?

[msc545]

Most often? Due process is guaranteed by the Constitution, which the right thinks it is entitled to violate.

[BadApple69]

First off if you are talking about criminals their due process rights are. It being violated. If you are talking about illegal aliens they are not protected by the constitution. The constitution was created for the citizens of the United States not anyone who is fast enough to escape border patrol agents.
If someone walked into your house and sat down on your couch you will tell them to leave…. You won’t wait for due process. They illegally entered your house (uninvited) and were claiming their right to sit on your couch… I think then you would agree due process doesn’t apply. Nor does it when they run illegally across our borders.

[msc545]

Every single person on US soil is protected by the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, including criminals and illegal aliens, and ANYONE who is a human being.

The exceptions you think are excluded are NOT.

[Dargil]

With rare instances (your inevitable whatabouts) its only Democrat controlled principalities. Where I live, you can leave your house unlocked, your keys in your car and your wallet on the seat. DeShawn (BLM) and Kaden (Antifa) live in Democrat strongholds that support crime.

[exitseven]

We have leadership in most of out big cities that think that criminals are just people who have been oppressed by the white man. It is not their fault they hold up liquor stores or do snatch and grabs, They are owed a living by the rest of us.
Cash bail is a dirty word and we should concentrate more on rehabilitation rather that incarceration.
We will be a war zone until this changes.

[Sal_Monella]

And having said that, it is time to start shooting. I volunteer old combat veterans, like Moi. You are going to break the law, Marine/Ranger/Seal, but it is a short life sentence. And you didn't give it a second thought in The Nam. This is fukking war. Democrats are the VC. Be sure to update your will.

[exitseven]

@Sal_Monella Two years ago I bought a handgun and a tactical shotgun and I got to a shooting range a couple of times a month .

[Sal_Monella]

I was MOS, 0317 Scout Sniper back in the day. I can still hit that bucket (Quigley Down Under reference). It is now Precision rifle Capability and Reconnaissance skills, MOS 0322. Lots more words, but its still One Shot, One Kill. I would like specialize on Antifa. Then, try to find me.

[exitseven]

@Sal_Monella I had only fired a gun two or three times before I got firearms. I have a friend from college who is a retired deputy sheriff and he runs a training program for law enforcement. I took a gun safety course and a tactical shotgun course. I never thought I would have firearms but I no longer felt safe and now I feel a lot safer.

[Sal_Monella]

The Minutemen in Massachusetts understood the deal. We are surrounded by "the British".

[exitseven]

@Sal_Monella There are two hotels withing 4 miles of my house where 750 illegal aliens live rent free courtesy of taxpayers. I had a total hip replacement a few of years ago. I was at home a couple of days after the procedure. I was alone and there was a knock at the door. I look out the window and see the local cops in the driveway. I make my way to the back door with my walker and the cops tell me my next door neighbors house had been broken into and did I see anything strange. It could have been my house that was broken into and in my present condition there was not a damn thing i could do about it.
That was the first time I ever though about buying guns.

[Sal_Monella]

I keep a.25 Raven in my side pocket. My wallet is bigger and almost as heavy. It won't truly stop the enemy but it will get his attention.

[exitseven]

@Sal_Monella I bought a S&W model 66. 4"bbl. A.357 has more stopping power than a 38 and I think a revolver will be more reliable than an automatic. It is a nice hefty weapon and I have gotten pretty good with it.

[AviatorTom]

America is not a dangerous country. Yes, there is crime, and some areas are less safe than others. But overall, compared to some really dangerous countries in the world, the United States is a safe country, to live in, and to visit.

[Hellraiser1984]

Its a melting pot. So many cultures and races living together and so many taboos other people cross all the time. Not to mention the amount of violence sex and drugs in our media. You can show a movie where people are killed one by one by a homicidal maniac but you can't say a swear because it offends people.

[ThisDesertLife]

America seems unsafe because it really kind-of is! The entire country is filled with angry, gun toting, war glorifying, would be killers. There are an average of 3 guns per household here in the USA... that's a staggering number! It's comforting in a way too, though. We will more than likely never be invaded by land because the enemy would be met with so many crazy American "cowboys" and/or psychopaths, all carrying as much firepower as they can, that they would never make it more than a mile inland before being gunned down where the stood! And God Bless us for that!!

[Anonymous]

Because they have more criminals than any other country in the world.

Most criminals emigrate from Europe, and other continents, to America.

Most people who emigrated from the ex socialist countries were criminals, they couldn't do crime in their own countries, so they moved to USA, because democracy gives rights to criminals.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

We failed to permanently castrate religion and money from our politics.

Arguably, the boomers did the opposite and welcomed both to completely fuck the people.

[Grond21]

It's one of the safest countries in the world. It's also one of the most accurate reporting crime rates. Additionally, if you eliminated the top five most dangerous cities, it becomes the safest country in the world, bar none.

[just_a_potato]

Because the government doesn't care about its most vulnerable citizens, much like many other countries.

[KostasKouvalis]

This Samoan gangster explained it perfectly. He said on the islands, they solve their issues with their fists, but Americans are pussies and don't wanna fist fight, they just wanna shoot you

[bunny_luv]

I don't think it matters where we live. It matters how we treat ourselves and others.

[Shiprex]

It's because people are told they're great, can do anything and are also told they can shoot people who scare them

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

America is actually a safe country except. The crime rates especially for the homicides almost always come from the hood and ghetto places.

[Anonymous]

Don’t come. They will lock you up and deport you to a country you didn’t come from.

[Fireguy17]

Parts are very safe, other parts usually in larger cities are not very safe.

[RedInnocent69]

It’s not. But some places are more than others

[Anonymous]

I dont think america is that dangerous i know a country thats even more dangerous

[Anonymous]

because liberals prefer "empathy" for criminals

[qwerty2469]

Too much diversity. Not enough diversity of thought. Ask Charlie. They kill you for diversity of thought.

[Kelley1]

In America, people are not dangerous, but the government is increasingly becoming dangerous, although not physically dangerous.

[Anonymous]

The only thing I nsafe cities are leftist run cities. Look it up sometime. The dems are responsible for all of the unsafe cities.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Start with about 420,000,000 million guns and continue !!!

[msc545]

Thank Capitalism and the resulting competition and income inequality.

[Anonymous]

Seems like the Republican state of Utah has a serious crime problem. I expect Trump to send the military immediately to combat it after this.

[RingOfFire]

It's only a dangerous country if freedom is not your priority. With freedom comes risk. Take your pick.

[Anonymous]

Sadly, it is a corollary to having great freedoms. . . but no one from the UK ever asks why we have so much freedom in the US.

[Jackblue]

Try being the world's dumping ground for its poor and unwanted populations for a few hundred years and see what your crime rate is like.

[noohair]

All you see is the bad part of the United States. I live in a very peaceful part of Florida. I do not see good news out of the UK...

[Jerre]

I think the USA is a very safe country

Guns and drugs and crazy people

[slatyb]

No gun control.

[crmoore]

Name a country and I'll name a dozen cases that gun control did not stop murder. (And that's just because I have limited time, there's countless examples I could show)

Taking away someone's gun doesn't convince them to not murder, it convinces them to murder with something else. Nobody was like "damn, I really want to hurt someone but I don't have a gun. Guess I won't hurt anyone then."

[slatyb]

@crmoore yes, and they all have far lower homicide rates than the US. They have zero school shootings.

[crmoore]

Both Sweden and Finland had at least one school shooting within roughly a year from today, and that's just what I found on a quick google search.

Additionally, homicide rates vary wildly in the US, and our states are often the size of entire countries. I can likely point to states here in the US with a lower homicide rate than whatever country you may have in mind.

Also, gun availability doesn't vary much throughout the states, so if a lack of gun control means high homicide rates, and strong gun control means low homicide rates, we'd see high homicide rates in nearly every US state, but we don't. Obviously this matter isn't as cut and dry as you're trying to make it seem. Homicide rates are impacted by countless things, a notable aspect, for example, is culture.

But just to give you one quick example (link for both of the following stats below), Peru, which has stricter gun laws, has a homicide rate of 8.5, while the US has a rate of 5.8.

(Link: en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate )

If gun control lessens homicide rates, why is Peru's higher than the US? And I'd still like you to explain how the difficulty of obtaining a gun discourages would-be murderers from murdering.
