The popular media and films over-play violence because it is entertaining. This makes U.S citizens anxious too. I can't recall an instance of un-provoked violence against a disabled or otherwise disfigured person. I don't believe I've heard even verbal abuse.

Violent crime is confined to well known communities of people and mostly directed against each other. AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book. http://www.panoramacamera.us
