Victor,
Add to list:
New Zealand, Japan, England, Germany, France, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, and so on... China is one of the few places where you are reasonably safe, yet the criminals there are still armed and not afraid to use them. China kills them as punishment every month...
No where on the world is completely safe, but if you are unarmed and the criminal is armed, then you will be a victim shortly.
If you wish, I have a elderly friend in Australia who was savagely beaten to within a inch of his life a year ago. Had he a weapon in his hand and been able to defend himself and his wife, the young punk would be a memory and he would not be paralysed on half of his body. His attacker has not gone to court even now... Look up the name Paul Hawkins on the internet and see what you come up with. He will be 100% ever again...
A victim is a victim is a victim and you can act like any country in the world is safe until some crackpot does something stupid. At least in America the public can and will stand up and defend themselves.
Joe
