    People have been saying this for thousands of years, though. In some cases, they weren’t even wrong to think it. But for a country as wealthy and well insulated and exhaustively policed as the average Western state?

    Come on. We don’t even have COVID era crime rates, much less the lead /cocaine fueled crime bonanzas of the 1970s and 80s.

    We’re a blip on the radar.

      Bold of you to assume I hail from land of bacon and guns. If I come to your land I’ll be seen as someone who eats cats. So either way I’m in shit.
