I know where to find them, but I don't go there, just as there are places you wouldn't go in Hong Kong.

Gangs and their criminal activity are a problem here, especially where there are large concentrations of Latinos. The Latino gangs are a bigger danger than Black or White gangs, because they have a bigger concern for Macho Pride. The Black and White gangs have pride but not the same kind and aren't nearly as violent.

But that said, most Americans don't have much contact with these gangs and might not even suspect these people are gang members unless they know the dress codes. So your statements about gangs of killers roaming the streets are a gross distortion of the truth.

I think you spent too much time in the media and not enough time in the streets. Was it unsafe the walk the streets where you lived in the US? Day? Night? Gangs or single criminals?
Of course there is crime in hong kong, there always has been and always will be but violent crime is rare compared to america. Just compare the statistics of any major american city to that of hong kong and you will see what I mean. Not to mention if crime isn't a problem in america then why do millions of americans feel the need to own a gun for protection?

I have always made the comparison between hong kong and america because those are the only two places I have lived and from my perspective your crime rate is insane.

EXACTLY! YOU ARE FUCKING NAIVE LITTLE GIRL WHO DOESN'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE REAL WORLD. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR IDEALISTIC VIEWS ON HOW THE WORLD SHOULD RUN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONSIDER ANYTHING ANY OTHER CULTURE OTHER THAN HONG KONG'S RIGHT AND ACCEPTABLE. GUESS WHAT, YOUR CULTURE ISN'T PERFECT, AMERICA'S ISN'T BUT YOU STILL NEED TO RESPECT BOTH.

GOD I HOPE YOU EITHER STAY IN HONG KONG AND NEVER MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD OR YOU FINALLY REALIZE THERE IS MORE OUT THERE THAN WHAT YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU THINK.
