Ah yes, Germany and Sweden. The last bastions for criminals all around the world. Oh wait, I’m 6-7 times as likely to be murdered in the US then those two places (Source).
I don’t agree with this person, but I also feel like I’m missing something in particular if you’re asking whether this person is stupid for having that take. Am I? Is there something about those county’s prison systems that is important here?
In the USA there is no welfare system that prevents or cures mental disorders, weapons are freely sold and the streets are not safe.

We have that percentage because we actually lock up our criminals, unlike Sweden or Germany.
