    Yeah, the 32 of 827k population SF is pretty damn awful when compared to the 54 of 6m population Denmark or the 13 of 1.4m population Copenhagen…

      I’m going to make an educated guess at two big reasons as to why the US has a much higher murder rate compared to other wealthy nations: guns and income inequality.
