ttom500: rates are rates...at the site they take them to the ____ per 100,000
it all evens out out.
Sorry on the bad lead story. I grapped the title of the bad piece.
But still could read like this: 4 Murder and over 20 Attempted Murders
in Chicago
What is special or different about the murder rate of a big city to a
small city murder rate? Is still the same kind of violent act? Yes?
Nothing special about a murder rates, they are one in same.
Only small town America has smaller one.
please understand, it was once my job to collect this info and present this info to youth.....So please have your facts..... I wasnt going to bring this up, but since you want to compare apples and oranges, I thought I should share this with you....these are shootings (only one per town) that took place in SMALL TOWNS.....please understand, I am not here to argue, however, debates I usually fancy. Being FROM CHICAGO, I can tell you this, there is a terrible crime rate.... But remember,
any crime rate is terrible...even if its .07
