text: What statistics? "...Comparatively low..." to where? Not Hawaii. I checked, both of your havens of peace and safety score way above Hawaii in terms of violent crime - and that includes people "putting their hands" on each other despite your improbable belief that no one dares.  
  
  You appear to be arguing that Hawaii is a scarier place than most because people get get assaulted. It doesn't matter to you that that rate is lower than most other places in the country, it's just scarier to you because nobody's carrying firearms.
  
  If Hawaii is the kind of place you live in fear of being assaulted, I'm not sure if there's a place in this country that would suit you.
