Obama Care, coming to a hospital near you.

In all fairness to the Dutch, if you subtract their “murdered by muslim crazies in the street” numbers, the murder rate isn't all that bad.

In all fairness to the Dutch, if you subtract their "murdered by muslim crazies in the street" numbers, the murder rate isn't all that bad.

Here's the murder rate in the US vs the Netherlands, according to nationmaster.com:

United States: 0.042802 murders per 1,000 people

Netherlands: 0.0111538 murders per 1,000 people

Looking at the deadliest Dutch city... there were 26 murders in Amsterdam in 2007 according to http://www.expatica.com/nl/articles/news/Record-low-murder-rate-once-again.html

With a population of about 730,000, that works out to a murder rate of about 3.6/100,000.

For comparison, San Jose has consistently been ranked among the safest cities over 500,000 in the US. According to city-data.com, its murder rate for 2007 was 3.5/100,000.
