NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City, once notorious for high crime, broke a record on Thursday with no murders reported for 10 straight days, police said.
The historic calm achieved at 12:01 a.m. Thursday comes on the heels of a notable year - murders in New York City in 2014 fell to an all-time low of 328, the fewest since the New York Police Department started keeping reliable records in 1963.
"Everybody is behaving," said Sergeant Daniel Doody of the New York City Police Department.

I do not believe this. By my count, there were about 2000 murders in NYC in a 10 day period.

Or are the cops just forwarding calls about finding a body to the sanitation department after de Blasio treated them badly?

Even with the cold keeping people inside, a lot times people get a little cabin fever...start driving each other nuts...then a little argument goes ballistic.
Pretty pathetic that 10 days is a record going back so long. That is a lot of murdering.

2024 to be exact... by 2012 standards:
31328 * 100 / 42.4 / 365 * 10 = 2024 murders in NYC in a 10 day period.

I don't know how they can be sure. It's the middle of February, and there has been a police slowdown.
More likely they haven't found the bodies yet.

Maybe we could get Ohio to give them a farmer’s field to meet on. Keep the innocent folks from catching strays, while the 2015 Darwin contestants could work on “self-deportation” out of this life!
