Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of crime ridden areas in the US, but you have to admit, street crime in the UK has gotten really bad.
I'm way too old to get into street fights, but the closest I've come in the last few years were the last 2 times I was in the UK. Seems like people REALLY enjoy getting drunk and then looking for people to beat up... especially "Yids" as they like to call me. They get a little disconcerted when you just stand there, take your glasses and ring off, and then say "You go first", but still....

yeah i know NYC has done well at reducing crime, and britain should follow some of their examples. NYC still has a murder rate of 3-4 times that of london though. and NYC is the exception rather than the rule, compare london to places like detroit.
but yeah i agree that street crime has got bad in parts of the UK, especially london. and the vast majority of gun and knife crime and street robberies are commited by young black gang members.
