Not really, America is a HUGE country. It just depends on where you live and the types of danger will also be different. Where I live people go jogging in pitch darkness past 12 am all the time, especially around this time during the summer.

If you're walking in lets say Bakersfield, you're more likely to get driven over by a drunk person than getting mugged. If you're walking in San Luis Obispo at midnight you'll probably die from being stabbed in the foot by seashells. If you're walking in Santa Cruz, you'll probably die by getting eaten by a mountain lion. Etc.. Etc..

Santa Cruz is a beach town. You'll be walking on the beach. What's on the beach? San Louis Obispo is surrounded by beautiful mountain range with beautiful hiking trails. What lives in the wild mountains? Geez, if you consider everything that can kill you dangerous might as well stay inside. Unless you're in Australia where you're never safe. Most venomous bugs and insects in the world.

Well America is a dangerous country, so I can see why some people wouldn't want to take midnight walks there, but if you live for that kind of stuff, there is no rule saying you can't. Just be careful.

It depends where you live. Even where I'm from, in some areas taking a midnight walk is very safe.  In other areas around where I'm from it's not safe at all.

I think that shows how intelligent we are, rather than how dangerous our country is. Anything can happen at midnight, because most people are asleep around that time. Regardless, I wouldn't take a midnight stroll simply because it's dark, and there may be dangerous or disease infested animals out there.

Not totally true. I won't sugar coat this but there are places in the world that are not too safe to walk thru after dark but this does NOT mean everywhere so it all depends on where you are as some places are definitely worse than others  Check before doing so

Lol

It's safe here -

If your walking through Compton ca

Or Baltimore city -

You may want to pack heat-

High crime areas are in almost every city -

Move to the sticks

But don't abandon the heat-

Bears , wolves ,

It's no different,

Thick woods = gun

Thick city -= gun

Otherwise no issue
