and those that do , usually come from countries far worse than the USA...because they don't know / understand the TRUTH about the USA. Or they bought into the US propaganda about itself. The human rights issues alone are staggering. but they don't see that...while blaming other places for same.
Is the USA "safe" Absolutely NOT. That is why they hide behind gated communities and guns.
Much though I hate to say it, your view is almost as warped as Walter's.
You may take it from me that the vast majority of Americans do not live in gated communities.
That was more of a metaphor ........ than a hard fact ;-)
no offense.....TB.
wally blindly adores the US. I prefer to see it in more realistic terms.. Each nation is tobe assessed on its own individual terms.
The US is a nation of extremes. Most developed nations aim for moderation, reason, realism.

Where protesters go, armed militias, vigilantes likely to follow with little to stop them
Prosecutors say Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with a semi-automatic rifle, killed two people and injured another person on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, when he opened fire Aug. 25 during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Wisconsin law stipulates that the minimum age for legal armed carry is 18. Even though Rittenhouse is just 17, he stood that night with other armed civilians who declared that they were out protecting property.
It remains unclear whether he was part of a formal militia group. In an interview with the conservative news website the Daily Caller earlier that day, Rittenhouse, who is from the Illinois, laid out way he was in Kenosha. "So people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business, and a part of my job is to also help people," Rittenhouse said, without specifying any authority to do so. "If there's somebody hurt, I'm running into harm's way. That's why I have my rifle because I need to protect myself, obviously. But I also have my med kit."
Within hours, the patrolling turned deadly. Rittenhouse is charged with two counts of first-degree homicide and one count of attempted homicide.

These aren't militias, they are white supremacist, terrorist thugs that Trumpkins are idolizing.

BOOMer's hero...
Kyle Rittenhouse is currently in a juvenile detention center for MURDERING two people at 17.
Kalief Browder was thrown into Rikers Island at 16 for 3.5 years (two of those years in solitary confinement) for allegedly stealing a backpack - he was innocent.
He ultimately took his own life after years of trauma and abuse that was created by our criminal justice system.

D'accord.
More accurate to say Walter blindly adores Trump. He is a fully-committed member of the cult of personality.
We are that. Maybe it's the money and power? The Big Dog syndrome? It seems like it also affected Britain, France, and Spain in their days. And certainly Russia is no better within its reach.
