But, to your point, I don't know about worldwide, but domestically in the US, our violent crime numbers are WAY down. But you never hear that. Most of our news is about all of the violent crime.

And I feel for these people. But unlike what occured in Arizona, no one fought back. Why?
I'm not talking ordinary crime, i'm talking nut job shooting sprees.
When i grew up, those were unheard off in Europe.. These last years :

Just now , Norway 90 something people

April 2011 , Holland 6

june 2010 , UK 12 shot

December 2009 , Helsinki, 5

March 2009 , Germany, 15

September 2008 , Finland 10

November 2007 , Finland , 8

May 2006 Antwerp 2

April 2002 Germany 18

September 2001 Swiss 15


I'm sure they would have been reported if any such events took place prior to 2000 in Europe..
But i can't find anything, nor can i remember any.

And typically they are not by immigrants.
