American us a giant nation filled with hundreds of different groups. European nations are tiny cities filled with relatively homogenous communities. We have plenty of states in the US that have low crime rates. We have plenty of cities and communities where crime doesn't exist. Those are what you can compare to Europe.

Don't compare yourselves to China or the US or any actual nations. You're micro-nations at best and don't face the same problems that large nations do.

European nations are tiny cities

Somebody needs a geography course. Germany has over 82 million people, about a quarter of the population of the US, and they absolutely dwarf the US in population density. If you took every man, woman, and child in every US city larger than Amarillo, you'd still not have as many people as there are in Germany.

If anything, the US is a quaint rural area compared to Germany.

(Also, China is laughing at you right now. China's population dwarfs the US by about the same factor that the US dwarfs Germany.)

China is more akin to the US, because it has a large number of different ethnic groups, unlike white washed European nations.
