WTF?
Don't just don't. I am asking genuine questions to try and understand this.
America is a great country, I have meant no offence. But it is a highly violent country too. There are many negatives when it comes to sexual perpetrators and victims of violent crime.
When there is a victim of violent crime here it makes the national news. That is not the case because it is so common in contrast there. Also, we don't have access to guns. So if there is a gun crime, even a gun shot into a house, it makes the national news. I know that sounds weird to a country where everyone owns a gun, but in contrast, no one owns a gun here. Except of course for police, farmers, underworld mob type criminals.
