2022 saw 60 people killed by shootings in sweden, and from my quick googling the rise appears to be gang related. Sweden has 10m people. Meanwhile, Chicago with 2m people had 12 people killed _last weekend_.
- goostavos 3y agoI'm gunna go ahead and wager that those Chicago shootings are also gang related.
- stcroixx 3y agoIncreasingly less so. Memorial day weekend had 2 separate fatal shootings in the lake view neighborhood, which is all young rich kids. Perps might have been gang members but victims definitely not.
- rhaway84773 3y agoClowns like Ja Morant do play a role in this. There’s no other reason for the rich kids to be swinging guns.
- tptacek 3y agoRich kids aren't swinging guns in Lakeview.
- legitster 3y agoEven if you compare all homicides, Sweden is about 6x safer per capita than the US. But it's worth pointing out the danger in both is still very, very low. It really shouldn't be a contributing factor about where you live.
