This is kinda interesting...

This is something stupid that got mass-mailed to me over the weekend and I figured I'd put it in here for a laugh.


There have been an average of 160,000 troops stationed in Iraq over the last 22 months.

During this time, the firearm death total was 2,112--a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C.

3/4 of baltimore is a ghetto (it's usually ************************ addicts killing other ************************ addicts- why our murder rate is so high) and even with urban sprawl it isen't helping too much (although our inner harbor region is seeing some success with rennovation of the commercial district), most of our crime is in those areas though and the stuff that we get is crack addicts breaking into our stuff more than it is anything else. But just to give light on how bad some of the neighborhoods are, there was a grandmother and her grandchildren whom had their home firebombed and consequently died in because she complained to the police about the ************************ dealers on the corner.

Washington DC has neighborhoods which i would not even think about driving through. worse than here by far..

Even tho we did not make the top ten list, St. Paul and Minneapolis, (270k & 350k) aka Murderpolis, has seen the decline of safety in the urban core. Two weeks ago, a St. Paul Policeman was murdered by two aggressive beggers (bums) with one of the gunshots (3) at close range.
