The US media has completely fooled the public into thinking their town is a violent hellhole, and that a trip to the grocery store is endangering their lives. Fact is, violent crime has been plummeting for decades, and unless you live in one of a handful of very small hotspots, Americans live in one of the safest times in the country's history. Yet, people's perception of crime as a problem has been going up and up.

I used to live in both Seattle and Portland. I took my family to Portland last year and wanted to show them the Ground Kontrol Arcade. Before I even parked the rental car, some vagrant on a BMX bike threatened to murder us.
