Collectively as a whole, there’s a lot of crazy #### that happens in a country of 328 MILLION people, enough to make it seem like it’s inescapable if you visit down there or live down there, but people live entire lives without that crazy #### entering their sphere of experience. Of course that depends on where you are, your income level, and where you were raised, but really, where else is that untrue?

Living or visiting, there’s really no reason for the average middle class person to live in fear. You guys are talking like it’s Mad Max, or painting it like some ####hole country where violence and danger is inescapable. It’s not.

If you live in the US for 10 years, you have a 1 in 285 chance of being shot. That's ####ed.
