    I’d love to see a source stating that everywhere is equally safe. I’ve been robbed at gunpoint before, it wasn’t in the fucking nice part of town. This is a stupid sentiment that blatantly ignores the reality of the situation.

      I currently live in Medellin, Colombia so don’t talk to me about dangerous places to live. I never said every place was safe. I said that the violent crime rates seem higher in poorer areas because of reporting and prosecution. It’s not because poor people are inherently more violent.
