Years ago when I was in Norway touring one of the Viking museums in Oslo, I recall the guide telling everyone, “The Wikings were just peaceful traders and merchants.”

On a more serious note, though, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. Somebody always doesn’t like somebody else. Law and order only keeps honest people honest but there will always be a threshold at which a disgruntled person doesn’t care anymore and feels a greater reward from making an impactful statement than remaining quiet.
