>OP is right, if those are the worst things to happen in the past 12 years, that's effectively 0 crime.

If that's "zero crime" from your frame of reference, then what are the cities that have actual zero crime? -100 crime?

I'm also curious, if you or a family member would have been a victim in one of those violent incidents that don't happen in other EU cities, if you'd still have considered it "zero crime".

Is it one of those cases where people see violent crime as just a statistic and they had waive it easily? Because I can't.

As a passerby, I'm honestly not sure what pedantic hill you think you're dying on.

Basically no crime was pretty obvious.

Then please argument using logic why it's obvious. I explained why it isn't oblivions, as per HN rules.

Subjectively sure, each to his own, it might be obvious to you if you're ideologically aligned with the poster, but for good faith debate, you'll need to add actual arguments to convince the other people of your take. Imagine telling the judge "it's obvious your honor" as your only argument to why you're in the right.

>As a passerby, I'm honestly not sure what pedantic hill you think you're dying on.

No hill dying here, I'm just pushing for facts over blind ideologies.

You're arguing like an automaton, when most people live in the real world where language has nuance and context.

The post you replied to wasn't written in math or C, so you're trying to objectively disprove a qualitative statement.
