Wasn't there a UN report a few years ago that determined Scotland was the most violent country in the world, followed closely by England and Wales? And I think Eastern Europe is supposed to be at least as dangerous as any of the most violent places in the US. If you equate the US only with the most densely populated cities, sure it's probably more dangerous than Europe in general, since you wouldn't be equating Europe with it's most populated cities. But the vast overlooked majority of the US is rural, small towns/cities, suburbs and pretty safe.
