What do you do, just make this stuff up? I know you're too stupid to
look up the real numbers, but didn't you think I would? Alaska has a
higher than average murder rate, more than triple the rate of
Massachusetts.


That's bull****. Alaska has less people than Boston.


The word was RATE Holly!

Well duh. If a village population has 200 people and one gets murdered, the
murder rate is astronomically higher than even NYC or Washington, DC. Rates
mean very little when presented completely out of context or with no common
frame of reference.
