LOL. We are still more violent that the rest of the first world. For murder yes.... en.wikipedia.org For other crimes apparently no: independent.co.uk telegraph.co.uk; I said the most violent.....not the highest crime rate. And to see just how much more violent the US, take a gander at these numbers: "In the UK (population c. 60.5m) there were 765 reported incidents of murder for 2005-6 (Home Office, undated) – a rate of about 1.1 per 100,000. In the US (population c. 298.5m) there were an estimated 16,137 homicides in 2004 (FBI, 2006a) – a rate of about 5.4 per 100,000. Of these, 10,654 were carried out with guns (FBI, 2006b)." fleshisgrass.wordpress.com The bobbies in London, a major city on par with NYC, still don't carry guns.
