Berlin is not that bad, I mean it's probably one of the safest ghettos in Europe

I was born and lived in Juarez, Mexico, one of the most "dangerous cities"( so they say), in the world, lived Texas and since 2017 been living in Germany. I have traveled to many countries including Asia. And I've never had anything stolen. BUT in Rome and Greece. Not to say these countries suck, because they don't. They are beautiful, I just never thought, someone would cowardly ransack my car as soon as I stepped out of it =/. So compared to the places I have been and the experiences I have obtained, Germany is super safe. Ich ♥ Deutschland and your Channel. Thanks Babe 😘!!!

As Russian I am totally offended by Kalashnikov stereotype. For Europe travel we use makarov or stechkin pistols. The only thing can make me feel not offended again is European citizenship.

Finally, Mr Living got his own sponsorship ad.

Being from Brazil, those safety tips are just part of my life. I grew up with a lot of measures to prevent a lot of crimes. So Berlin is pretty safe to me. Funny story: when I first moved here I was warned to be careful at Alexanderplatz and I immediately assumed they meant armed robbery. When they told me it was basically pickpocketing I just laughed and said: if they don’t show me a gun that looks real they are not taking my stuff. 😁

OMG your Russian accent is perfect, I say that as a Russian myself

Coming from Brazil, I felt pretty safe in Berlin. Nobody's gonna mess with you if you're more dangerous than them. 🤣

I was once on a class trip to berlin. We went to the memorium next to the brandenburg gates, where there is lots of square pillows which get higher the deeper you go in. I saw one guy who had a paperboard with pen and claimed he was asking people for donations for a charity which intends to help deaf people. He was talking with an old lady, who was willing to give him money and right at the moment where she pulled out her wallet I called "Don't do it, it's a scam!". Immediately right after I said this he became very aggressive and chased me, intending to hurt me, with his other friends. They were young adults, only male and arabic in appearance. I cannot believe that such nasty and violent scammers are literally in such an important historic sight...

Hi Radical Living,
I discovered you casually and can't stop watching all your videos! Great contents!
2yrs living in Berlin and never seen a crime!!

[Таисия-ьц]

Living in Berlin for almost 10 years.
Number of friends who got their bike stolen - 4
flat broken into - 3
phone or wallet stolen - 4
One of my girlfriends had her iPhone laying on the table in a cafe. A beggar lady casually put her bag on the table and snatched the phone unnoticed. Do not leave your phones on tables when going out or keep an eye on them!

I kind of like Berlin's structured system. You can choose the best district according to what kind of criminals you want to meet. Pickpockets, shoplifters, muggers, vandals, arsonists, drugdealers, corrupt politicians, gangs, rapists, gangrapists. You name it, they have it.
Berlin also holds the world record for most people getting murdered in a Christmas market.

As they used to say in the early 2000s: "Visit Poland, your car is already there" (I'm Polish btw)

☆Great video my "freund"☆
I was in the US Army stationed in Berlin 1989-91. As a Military Policeman (MP), I worked Checkpoint Charlie. During this time, crime was pretty low. Our attention was looking at the Russian and East German Soldiers. Always love watching your videos and of course subscribed.

“Common sense doesnt seem to be common nowadays” so true

[chrisf]

We have places in America that make Berlin look like Disney World.

I grew up in Istanbul. I found it funny that despite all the drug dealing and pickpocketing going in front of me, there was pretty much no violence going on. It's surreal how criminal yet safe Berlin is.

[AstroMartine]

40 homicides and over 800 rapes??That is pretty bad, honestly. And also, you need to consider that these are recorded cases, the real numbers could be higher.

[roys]

Ive been to Berlin 5 times as tourist for long weekends and never had a problem or seen any thing like a crime, but take Radical's advice and be careful and watch your stuff, as you should anywhere.

[villageslayer]
