Those stats do not include violent crimes, or if they do they are definitely lying out of their ass. Let?s get into murder a bit shall we? All the following data can be pulled from nationmaster, and all data is at least from the year 2k and up.
Washington, DC has one of the highest murder rates in the developed world at around 50 per 100,000, which is more than a HUNDRED TIMES that of the capital of the European Union, Brussels. The highest rate I could find for a comparably large city in Europe was Moscow, and it is only 15 per 100k! Largest Canadian city?s homicide rate I could find was Regina?s, which was at 4.72. They don?t kill people at all in Canada
The top 10 countries on total murders per year:
India ? 37,170
Russia
Colombia
South Africa ? 21,995
Mexico
United States ? 12,658
Venezuela
Thailand
Ukraine
Indonesia ? 2,204
On that same list France?s murders per year were at 1,051, Germany?s at 960, and the UK?s was at 850.
Breaking it down per population capita, we have the following:
USA: Around 4.2802 per million are murdered.
Germany: Around 1.16461 per million are murdered.
France: Around 1.73272 per million are murdered.
UK: Around 1.40633 per million are murdered.
So there you have it. You are about 4x more likely to get murdered in the USA than you are in Germany, France, or the UK. I could do the above for each of these countries on other violent crimes such as rape and other violent crimes but I can assure you the USA would win again out of these four choices ^_^ USA, USA! We R? dey WINNARS!
