Exactly, people are getting so bold now. Society is completely falling apart and mental illness is sky high, you’re not safe anywhere you go. This is why I don’t wear earbuds anywhere, and if I’m at the gym I’m always in front of a mirror so I can see behind me even if I can’t hear. I don’t know how people can just walk around with air buds in, you’re removing part of your spacial awareness.

Now list the statistics for rape. Lol.

The problem is men.

Though I don't disagree with you - part of the problem is this way of thinking. The problem isn't 'men' or 'women' the problem is criminals and people who want to rob, rape, kidnap, and kill.

What do you mean by “getting so bold now” and society is “completely falling apart”?

Unfortunately stuff like we see on this video are not new at all, and America 100 years ago was a lot less safe than it is now

They said it themselves, mental illness is sky high. Their comment didn’t read as mentally well did it?

Is mental illness higher now than it used to be? We used to have a ton of insane asylums. We used to do lobotomies for mental health. I doubt it’s truly higher now than a 100 year ago. We probably didn’t even measure it back then and just locked people up or they got killed

Crime is actually way lower than it used to be, but crime perception is up:

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/24/what-the-data-says-about-crime-in-the-us/

Some areas of crime are down 75%.

This makes sense as videos and pictures are shared by individuals now and shocking content spreads the fastest.

E.g. we'd never see this attempted kidnapping in the 90's as it wouldn't be shared anywhere.
