Us cities aren’t deadlier than a warzone. I used to go to nightclubs in the most violent neighborhood in dc in the middle of the crack epidemic as a naive suburban white kid and never felt unsafe and the worst thing that ever happened was my car getting broken into. I’ve been to places in the developing world where drug gangs drive around on trucks with mounted machine guns. There’s nowhere in the US like that.
- andi999 6y agoNot feeling unsafe doesnt mean it is safe (and vice versa).
- empath75 6y agoStatistically it’s not even close. Even in really dangerous cities like Chicago or New Orleans, they pale in comparison to how many people are dying in Syria or even in places like San Salvador — and even San Salvador isn’t that bad.
