The notion of danger within the United States is vastly overblown by unreliable media and its agendas. Much of what you are seeing is not a reflection of the events that are actually taking place. You are much better off ignoring any news agency and pursuing topics under your own accord. Not claiming I am an expert on those matters, but from a fair breadth of experience I can tell you it is the typical fear mongering and willful exploitation of culture and identity issues.
