      It absolutely does happen here. Like this one for example: guy chases young girl with an axe after messing with his doorbell.

      Don’t mess with the wrong people. You never know what’s going to push them over the edge.

        That girl would have 100% been shot and killed if this happened in America.

        Ja, Limburg. Vandaar. ;)

        Edit: the axeguy was stopped by visitors of a local bar while pursuing the little girl. Noone got seriously injured and the unhinged moron was left in police custody.

        Now, in the US these kind of stories have a different ending. In the US this guy would’ve shot the girl and rampaged through that bar.
