When Orpheum workers get attacked every time they leave the theatre, then we can call ourselves "less safe" than other cities - for New Yorkers or Parisians or Edokko, it's wrong and intolerable, but nevertheless a "normal" random occurrence, and they don't have to complain loudly about it and call for martial law on every forum they use because no city has this (but of course, they do). The clickbait sites count on that kind of outrage to attract gullible internet users and generate ad revenue, and so they'll naturally try to hype up the situation to make it look worse than it is.
For example, unlike those cities, nobody in Vancouver's ever pushed somebody in front of a SkyTrain. I guess then Vancouver is more safe than Tokyo.
