That's why per-capita statistics (such as those I posted) are important,
to balance the population factor. (# of crimes per 1000 people)
And houses in Auckland are built no futher apart than houses in Phoenix.

Exactly. If you are going to kill someone, don't be a pussy and do it from 15 feet away. Murder is personal. Act like it. Take responsibility. Get up close and be a part of it. Accept some risk. Otherwise, you're not ready for it.
