Actually, overall crime in NYC is lower than London,

Nonetheless, the point stands. I routinely see these right-wing accounts on social media talk about the "Islamification" of Europe and how dangerous all of these cities in Europe are and they're never going there, but in reality, most of them are less dangerous than the U.S. Yes, it's true that crime has risen in many European cities due to the importing of the Third World, but they are still less dangerous overall than your average American city. I routinely go to London, Berlin, Paris, etc. Never had an issue. In fact, a week from tomorrow I'm heading to Italy for two weeks. My favorite is when I see these people on Twitter, who've never even been to Europe, say "Europe has fallen!" because they see crimes committed by some Muslim dinglehopper, while they completely ignore what happens in Seattle, Los Angeles, D.C., etc.
It's always the ignorant who seem to be the loudest.
