Yes I know you said violent crime and I already acknowledged that the US had the highest murder rate among developed countries (If you don't count Russia and the Baltic states as developed), however from the article I posted: England and Wales are also placed towards the very top of the international crime league table for car offences, burglary, sex and violent assaults. But getting back to what you originally said: "Forget the rest of the world.......violence is becoming a way of life in these disunited states..." Your statement seems to indicate you believe violent crime is rising in the US, however it appears to be contradicted by the data which shows an appreciable drop (albeit still high..) in levels of violent crime in the US in the past decade and a half.
