Probably the only Western country. Of course, in Australia you can be killed by a snake, spider, jellyfish, octopus etc. Do you know what you won't be killed by? An assault rifle.
I had to watch out for creeps when I waited for the bus as a kid. There were some rather disturbed individuals living in the area so there was always a parent accompanying us kids there.
Not for me or the kids in our neighborhood. Much to my dismay, when I was in high school, the bus stop was right in our driveway. It was very safe... unless you wanted to skip school that day. Just my luck!! My parents loved it. My sister and I hated it.
