Credit medical advancement in trauma care....the same reason we have so few fatalities in military operations.
But we need to take a page from the liberal handbook: they focus not just on the number of troops killed, but also those injured and maimed.
If we did the same with US crime rates, it would reveal the tens of thousands of attempted murders with knives, rocks, bats, cars, etc.
Instead, we allow the media to focus on the homocide rate and link all of it to firearms (which is a lie).
Interesting how Chicago murders are news but the homicide rate is almost double in Baltimore, where I live. I wonder how many other cities have higher rates than Chicago, and how many actual ‘reporters’ even care.
Chicago: - 532 out of 2.7 million = almost 20 per 100000
Baltimore: 217 out of .6 million = more than 36 per 100000
These dead Baltimoreans are nameless also.
I won't go much further west in the city than the old B&O Rail Museum.
Hooray!!!!
Somewhere in America the four or five members of the KKK are smiling. Blacks kill more blacks per year than the Klan killed in its entire time of existence.
