(2,561 posts)Yes, the US is full of violent crime, AND its up to you or anyone else to
use their street smarts to avoid those places JUST a as in EVERY country.
I would NEVER EVER walk at night in lots of areas in cities in the USA.
And a woman is NOT safe to walk alone at night in most medium and larger US cities.
Ive been fortunate enough to travel some internationally, although limited to North America,
and Europe
.maybe
..its TEN countries
.Everyone I used some common sense to where and what time of day to walk about.
And the US is by far the country I am always extremely cautious about where I go or dont go.
The US corporate media pushes their propaganda nonsense nonstop about violence in Mexico,
While in reality most people in Mexico view the US as a hostile place for bigotry and dangerous police that are racist and can be violent against people of color.
Sure
Mexico has violence. And there are areas to avoid b/c of cartels.
But the distorted reporting by US media is astoundingly biased.
Added
..
Certain areas of Mexico may be safer than certain areas of the US.
However, as a whole the US has significantly lower violent crime rates and less gang activity.
