Yep, there needs to be a common sense balance. Just because you have some freedom does not mean you have the freedom to do any damn thing you want at others' expense and threat of well being. Even in the most free countries there are still laws to keep bad & stupid people from ruining society.

That is not a nationwide statistic, it has far more to do with where it is you actually live, what town or what city in what state. There are places that are absolutely third world ghetto slums and there are other areas where people don't worry as much about property theft/burglaries, gang violence, muggings, trespassing, grand theft auto, etc. The country is massive, not every place is the exact same, in reality it is extremely diverse in so many ways.
