As a lifelong resident of the United States, TIL there are non-violent states. Apparently. Somewhere.
It’s a spectrum of intensity like sweet or sour
Except instead you sort the states by gun homicides and domestic violence rates
Homicide rate ranges from 1.9 per 100k in New Hampshire to over 19 per 100k in Mississippi and Louisiana, so there are certainly some states that are 10x more violent than others.
America is a warrior nation. What they call news is actually fear mongering twaddle. Their heroic archetypes in film solve problems with violence. The state itself increasingly behaves like a robber baron. They are obsessed with weapons. School shootings are but one grotesque outcome of this pathology but however disgusting those events are, gun ownership is ubiquitous. It’s a society that would destroy itself rather than admit it’s wrong.
This sounds like a topic that can be very easily taken and smacked with any politically leaning context
TIL: Violent citizens more from state to state taking the violence with them?
Violence from who? Seems like somehow where they are moving to must be equally as violent in some way.
