[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just mass shootings you have to worry about in the US that doesn’t happen in other countries. In Japan, S. Korea, parts of Northern Europe (maybe … not sure anymore), Singapore, etc. you can have your laptop, phone etc. out at a coffee shop, get up to go to the restroom or get something else at the counter or whatever, come back 5 minutes later and your stuff will still be there. All of it. No theft.

You won’t be aggressively panhandled to by the mentally ill homeless. People won’t be openly using drugs on the street and sleeping in tents. Not saying it’s perfect though because there are a lot of problems in Japan in particular with groping and sexual harassment on public transit. But you aren’t going to be wondering if that dude with the crazy eyes is about to push you in front of an oncoming train or pull a gun on you and steal your phone. [/quote]

I live in the Midwest and none of these problems are relevant.  I don’t even own a key to my house, the house I have lived in for 15 years.

Blame DC and other major city governments, not the US as a whole.[/quote]
