Are you insinuating that there are no downtrodden urban areas in the rest of the world, or even the U.K.? Are you suggesting that the human psyche and the frequency of individuals having murderous tendencies can be attributed to geography?
Why is it so difficult for so many to admit that maybe we are doing it wrong? How can it be that the penalties for violent crime are far more stringent than most all other countries in the free world, yet we still have the most occurrence of it. Not only do we have the highest murder rate by law enforcement we alai have the most number is incarcerated criminals.
Has it occurred to you, that maybe those countries that have low murder rates don't diminish the poor, don't deny them health care, food, a fair wage, affordable education. Maybe they don't burden the infirmed and disabled with outrageous medical bills and exorbitant prescription costs. Maybe they don't send the sons and daughters off to a war for oil and then abandon them when they return psychologically damaged. Maybe they don't have a distinct class system designed to keep the poor indigent and the make the rich wealthy Maybe they don't make a temporary hero or of George Zimmerman. Maybe, just maybe, our law enforcement officers kill more people than all those other countries because our entitled society makes excuses for it when they do. Maybe if an 18 year old black kid was gunned down for jaywalking the U.K. wouldn't celebrate it by showing an obscure video that may or may not have been the victim and say he had it coming.
Maybe they would have had the decency and wherewithal to make inquiries and take action to prevent another senseless killing less than thirty days later.
