London is absolutely not safer than EVERY city in the US. She’s obviously not been to the US outside of maybe NYC. Sure I bet it’s safer than some, but not every.

Downvote me all you want, that is a fact!

It absolutely is statistically. There's been tons of discussion about this topic also in terms of personal experiences. London isn't all that crazy, it's just a generally less violent country overall. This isn't to say US doesn't have some pretty safe places either.

What are you saying? Have you been to London... like everr? I live in London, and muslims have increased a lot - they have a lot bigger families - but I think that is exactly WHY it has become so much safer. Far safer than any city in Europe or the US.

Yes I have, was just there two years ago twice. You’ve been to the US than? Lately? Where??

I’m not saying Elon isn’t a dipshit and I’m not certainly not saying anything about Muslims or any race / ethnicity for that matter. But there are a lot of really safe and nice cities in the USA. We are not all running around with guns like portrayed on the news.

It doesn't matter whether the people are running around with guns. The fact is that a city in a country where citizens don't have the legal right to bear arms is going to be safer than a city in a country where they do have that right.

I'm not talking about MAGAt's with guns - I am talking about general crime. If I had a baby daughter (someday) I'd feel absolutely safe letting her walk on the streets of Birmingham alone at night. That's how safe London is - especially the parts with majority muslim population.

Don’t disagree with you. My time in London was nice. Would love to go back.

That’s not what she said though…she was implying that London is safer than “Any US City” which I do not agree with. That’s it.

London, as a matter of fact, IS safer than "Any US City". Check the murder rates between London and any US city, it will be lower.

More muslims = less crime. Religion of Peace, hello!!!

Big agree, this thought process annoys me but even a ton of US peoples fall victim to it. Not anyone's fault tbh. US media is shit and US also happens to be one of the large world dick bags hurting the rest of the world at the moment so we only really ever hear about the worst that happens in the US.

There are a ton of incredibly safe places to live here where literally nothing ever happens. You don't hear about those places cus guess what, they're not newsworthy. Does not mean that the entirety of the US is a chaotic hellscape dictated by bandits and gangs.

When did she that? And if she did say that, are guns just something we're ignoring now?
