USA News and Poland - part 18 [530]
I read your post slowly with the attention it deserves...It really does...
To compare the US with Russia, for example, you have to always keep in mind 420 million guns, blacks, migrants, the mentally ill, and the crime that those cause.
Add to it the publicity crime gets almost daily - if it bleeds, it leads - and you develop the level of fear and hate that is not common elsewhere. Poles are right when debating guns.
When I was in Poland, I would go to parks at dark without a second thought. Here, I wouldn't let my 7-year-old granddaughter go alone to the restroom at the mall. I actually used to walk right in and stand guard by her stall...Paranoia or taking no chances...whatever...an easy call...
Feds not being local...If the leftist mayors and governors were not sanctuary freaks, there would not be any need for the feds in US cities.
Your system is run as one, not as a mosaic of madness...with every state being different from the next...
The mayor of Moscow would not try to give Putin the middle finger and call him a NAZI. Here, it's almost a daily occurrence with no consequences.
If not for my family, I would already be in Poland.
