Usa is certainly not a fully democratic state.
Also, your example is strangely extreme (talking about murders), which is certainly not a good analogy.
There are millions of people living in the country, not millions of murderers.
A nerve seems to have been touched.
In philosophy and argument generally it is often instructive to use extreme examples in order to illustrate a point and get clear on our intuitions.
The point illustrates the obvious shortcomings of the mechanism of democracy for deciding about things.
It's a prompt for further thinking.
I'm glad it stirred something in you and I'd suggest thinking about the limits of democracy further yourself.
When getting a strong reaction to something you read in a post; also make sure not to forget to read the rest of the post and to read it carefully so you don't read into it things which may not actually have been written or even implied by the author.
Cheers
