heard something similar re: gun violence. Take out DC/Baltimore and Chicago (and two more that I forgot...) and there wouldn't be a murder/shootings epidemic in the U.S.

And, really, you don't need to take out the entire cities. If you can get granular enough data, just taking out the worst few dozen neighborhoods would be sufficient.
Also, the point isn't about cherry picking data. The point is that Europe has absolutely no analogue for those kinds of communities (although that's changing of late and the crime gap is closing accordingly).

We do have areas that border on lawlessness! Also, in the Nordic context, we do some criminal hang fights with grenades. A little annoying when you're trying to live civilized life right next to it
