I wasn't trying to compare the rates in which we murder each other. New York is a shithole and terribly ran, of course the murder rate is higher, especially these days. There's a lot of gang violence and pickpocketing, knives are the goto choice, especially since it's so hard to get a hand gun legally in that city. Better to carry a knife otherwise you're a default felon.
