A comment on British man banned from US because of text to American girlfriend. Parent comment
In the latest figures, there were 726 murders between March 2017 and 2018 in the UK[1] for 66M people (1 in 91k).
In the US, 2017, there were just over 17000 murders[2] for 325M people (1 in 19k).
Stabbings and gun crime in the UK is going to have to go up a hecking long way before we get anywhere close to the US.
