minus-squareNelots@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up23·2 days agoI mean… A population of 873,965 in San Fran vs 2,304,580 in Houston. 1 in ~25,000 people in San Fran get murdered vs 1 in ~7,150 people in Houston. That’s ~3.5x higher. Per capita isn’t helping much here.
minus-squareBoomer Humor Doomergod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down1·2 days agoI’m not saying SF is more dangerous. I’m just saying people are idiots who don’t understand statistics. Which is what got us into this mess.
minus-squaresunzu2@thebrainbin.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 days agoYou are right to call it out. OP is poorly presented. Murder rates should be presented at number per 100k. Anything else is a shiti spin. And yes that’s how we got here to begin with. When truth is on your side, why are these idiots adding unnecessary spin?
