U.S. second most dangerous? LOL. Take a stroll through Somalia, Columbia, and South Africa sometime. Base your articles on facts and not opinion. I noticed the little smiley face after the U.S. so even you know you’re wrong.

and yet the u.s. has top 10 rates in both murders and gun violence. seems pretty bad considering we think were the shit at everything.. at least somalia, iraq, and colombia are considered “undeveloped” countries and are ramapant with home-grown terrorism, which has also started in the US.. but hey were still the “Best”.. at killing ppl.
