I read the whole thing, unlike you...Absolutely false super dupe....I am not your servant, the crime stats are out there for anyone to view. Violent crime in England and Wales is so much worse then the USA it is not funny.Link?well except for the pesky fact you are 5 times as likely to get mugged beaten or raped in Britain.Problem is, the UK's gun murder rate is about zero. The murder rate itself is five times lower than the US murder rate.
So, he's showing everyone "how bad" the UK is, without actually being truthful.
Social media post says U.K. has far higher violent crime rate than U.S. does
You didn't read your own link.... I use that same article to show morons like you that you are wrong...
From your own link, the Politifact article........the part you didn't quote....
For England and Wales, we added together three crime categories: "violence against the person, with injury," "most serious sexual crime," and "robbery." This produced a rate of 775 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
For the United States, we used the FBI’s four standard categories for violent crime that Bier cited. We came up with a rate of 383 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
This calculation suggests that there is a higher rate of crime in England and Wales, but the discrepancy is not anywhere near as wide as the one cited in the meme.
