You may want to change the way you look at things again.

LA county 2017 murders were just under 300 (The peak was in the 90s at a little over 1000 per year)
South Africa April 2016 through March 2017 murders were over 19,000

South Africa Murders

LA County Murders


Mike I didn't mean literally, simply relating that the US news the folks get in SA is quite misleading as well as the news we get here about SA.

Dangerous in both places at times.
