So now you are blaming crime on density?
Do you not know rural America is going through a massive drug crisis with meth, heroin, and morphine addiction?
You are out of touch.
Further you have confused Scandinavia with "the rest of Europe".
If you are gonna talk Scandinavia, then talk Scandinavia.
Bernie doesn't tout all of Europe or many countries in Europe. He specifically talks about Denmark and alludes to other successful features of other successful Scandinavian countries.
What you are doing is combining a bunch of different things in a logic salad that would have me believe that poverty doesnt directly lead to all kinds of crime and that wealthy suburbs are more dangerous than poor inner cities because of their lax gun laws in the burbs.
This is my last post in this thread because I have to go to work. Have a good day.
