the usa does have a ridiculous murder rate. especially firearm related murders. compare the us rate to that of canada.
im not afraid to leave my house but once on the streets im wary of attack. getting beaten and robbed isnt fun
. trouble is always waiting to happen. but still i am out at all hours regardless.

some places are worse than others. generally urban areas in the uk are experiencing a lot of violent crime. you live in a nice peaceful area? much to fear from the upper class bandits . . .
and england isnt worse than the usa in terms of crime. you have millions of stupid/unstable citizens with guns who shoot before thinking. the easy availability of guns in the usa is a joke. atleast over here you cant buy a pistol in your local shop. and we dont give out free guns with cars or to new customers at banks.
either way both countries are suffering from violent crime. i blame 50cent partially
It's not that bad here in the UK, I feel safe at night
then you probably live in a nice area if you feel totally safe while out alone late at night? in london at night its always required to be wary, unless you are in a safe place or in a large group.
Again the media calls Manchester "Gunchester".
nottingham is apparently the gun capital of the uk. and there are more firearm related incidents in london. manchester will probably be experiencing violent crime along with the majority of the uks urban centres.
If London was so bad then surely they would call it "Gundon" or Knifdon".
they probably wouldnt. lol london already has an arsenal i think thats enough namewise
