But violent crime among the rich is a statistical blurb. It exists but is exceptional, not the rule. You shouldn't just hand wave that away.


But I didn't imply anything about violent crime at all.

Whereas the original article did handwave away the fact the ultra rich frequently do engage in other legal and somewhat-less-legal forms of rapacious behaviour - whether it's battling for political dominance, running competitors of their dynastic business empire into the ground, engineer elaborate financial deceptions or sue critics into submission - despite already having access to sufficient resources to retreat to tiny utopian idylls with likeminded neighbours if that was what they really wanted.
