London Monthly Murder Rate Higher Than NYC

For the first time ever, driven primarily by knife crime, London's monthly murder total has exceeded that of New York City. Maybe a monthly blip, but still interesting.

Reality Check: Has London's murder rate overtaken New York's? - BBC News

Matt, there are already at least 2 threads on this topic in PARF already.

I'm aware you've sworn off the place as well.

Let's keep PARF where it is.

Yes - I've always thought the same thing. Unlike a bullet, with a knife you are personally connected to the object piercing the body.

I know, that's what creeps me out. For some reason I'd rather be shot.

It's only PARF when people take it there. I enjoy intelligently discussing an issue, not monkeys throwing crap at each other. I simply found it interesting, particularly as someone who travels to the UK for work. They all think that America is the wild west and a super dangerous place.

I have met people when I've been traveling over seas that quite literally get their ideas of the United States from movies.

Gangsters in the cities, cowboys and outlaws in the country.

To be fair, this is what our TV shows and movies seem to be obsessed with.

Still, it does make me smile.

The United States often contains three places, New York, California, and Texas.

The reality is that many places in the world(Not just the U.S.) so long as you don't invade criminal territory by yourself, aren't out late at night, and you are respectful of others you'll be just fine.
