    This post starts with propaganda framed as a question, and reinforced with comments containing assumptions and anecdotes. I checked several sources and none of them place America even in the top 50 murder rate, out of 195 countries.

    If instead you’re referring to “America” as both the northern and southern continents, then that is incredibly misleading and disingenuous.
