Peruse this for a while, it's kind of startling actually when you consider they are less than 14% of the population. What the hell is the matter with them?

But in reference to safety, your post solely mentioned the Black on Black crime,. Have you ever spent a relative amount of time in a low-income White neighborhood? Regardless of statistics, they are scary too.

Look at the White guy that recently killed two, then proceeded to eat a person's face. Charles Manson. Serial rapists/killers. When they are violent, they can be very creepy...

Actually, serial killers and mass murderers are almost evenly distributed across races. They are usually the outcome of mental illness, brain injury and drug addiction. Here's some interesting stats on serial killers that don't quite fit your narrative.


Serial Killer Statistics and Demographics – Statistic Brain

Here's the stats on mass shooters.

• U.S.: mass shootings by race 1982-2016 | Statistic

Almost right in line with demographics and still very rare events.

Again, look at who is in prison and where the crimes are occurring. If you don't live in a third world neighborhood, your safety is rarely an issue. OTH, the stats don't lie. You are more likely to be a victim of a crime, any crime, in Europe than in the US. I know it's very very difficult to accept because you see all the crimes in Hollywood movies, but true nonetheless. Do you think it might be the guns?

Americans are in those prisons, that's who. And it's your government's fault if it cannot study the reasons and solve the problem. No, no, Return2FL, having the police shoot at black people who pose no threat whatsoever is not a solution. Those prisons are also over their capacity, too, you're stuffing people in there like they're animals.

BTW, check it out, that same stat you just linked ranks Spain in 37th position, US in 22nd; Weren't you babbling about being more likely to get mugged in Spain than harmed in US? There you go, it is more likely to suffer from any crime in the US than Spain.

Thanks for proving my point, mate.

Yes, you are more likely to be mugged in Spain. Sheesh, here it is again.

You definitely have to keep your guard up more in Europe than America if you don't want to be mugged and nobody there seems to be able to figure it out. I wonder if the police get a cut each week in exchange for turning their backs on the street hoodlums that run rampant.

As for the people in jail, more than half are drug related, something that does not land you in jail throughout most of Europe. Something I'd like to see changed in the US.

Regarding the police shooting unarmed black people, it's extremely rare. While a few shootings are tragic mistakes, usually after the dust settles you find a violent, armed individual with a long arrest record was removed from the gene pool. Whites get shot by police too, but they don't usually burn their neighborhood down afterward so the media ignores it.

Check the full stats again, sweetheart, that you're only doing better than Spain in a very few categories. Add up all the numbers and overall you're more likely to suffer from any crime in the US, than be mugged in Spain. I know it's a hard concept for you to comprehend, but it's pure statistic. That's the reason why you rank 22nd in overall crime, whilst Spaion lags far behind you. Does your racist brain get it?

Perhaps you should consider who the delusional one is, when everyone, up to and including people who live in your country, are pointing out to you that your country has problems with crime.

Extremely rare? We keep hearing about black people being shot for no reason. What was this man doing to deserve being shot by the police?

It is extremely rare in Europe, and very common in the US.

I'm a racist? You lost all credibility. Speaking openly about race does not make one a racist. I suggest you reread the thread. Then read the definition of racist over and over until you understand it clearly. It's a nasty insult to throw around so easily

Muggings and pickpockets are the most common threat tourists face, the one they always need to be on high alert for.

Yes, very rare. The incident you linked was very sad, but extremely uncommon. OTH, most of the police shootings that the media has latched on to and that have incited mass protests, looting and "burning the ***** down" ended up involving armed and/or violent and dangerous people.
