You are not too un PC for this board. This board is not PC at all.
I thought I had answered this earlier but perhaps I started to and did not finish. I have not had any experiences like those described in the article and certainly violent crime is not a major concern right now.
If you don't count abortion or the violence committed in the name of government. I don't imagine it will remain that way for ever.
