Tony lives in England. Open daylight muggings are common in London. My brother's roommate got attacked in broad daylight in or around a subway, beaten and robbed. Similar attackers.

I hate to interupt you lot patting yourselves on your collective backs for how few violent assults take place in the US with some facts, but here I go:

You're just ahead of Britain for assaults per capita and way ahead of most of Europe. In murders per capita you are way ahead of Britain:

And in murders with firearms you are getting close to being world leaders with 134 firearm murders for every one in Britain!

It's pretty obvious which country is more dangerous.
