Using raw numbers, St Louis (159 murders/manslaughters in 2014) looks a lot safer than Chicago (411). But, adjusting for population size makes it clear that the smaller St Louis (50 homicides/manslaughters per 100,000) is really a lot worse than the larger Chicago (15 per 100,000).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-12958165843259281792016-04-06T09:54:47.850-05:002016-04-06T09:54:47.850-05:00murder rate per 100,000 is just another bs statist...murder rate per 100,000 is just another bs statistic. when population grows the percentage or ratio will go down. if the pop grows really really fast, the % or ratio will drop even more. and vice versa. using this stat metric for murder rate is bs stuff used by demagoguesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-35749020933777902842016-04-03T09:16:13.298-05:002016-04-03T09:16:13.298-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuFs3tHyv2c&sns...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuFs3tHyv2c&sns=emAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-24039811132295153382016-04-03T00:19:48.234-05:002016-04-03T00:19:48.234-05:00George,

You are showing your ignorance and bigotry for all the world to see. You point your fingers at others, belittle and make fun of them yet offer nothing to counter except derision and divisiveness. You are pretty much insignificant as far as I'm concerned up until the point, if ever, you decide to look at yourself honestly and admit you're wrong about so many things that you hold dear and true.<br /><br />Stop basing your view of the world on what your daddy told you. Grow up and be an adult and search for real answers in the world that is your reality, not based on someone else's who seeks to fill your head with nonsense and self-serving only unto themselves.<br /><br />Grits has provided a platform for all to learn about the Texas criminal justice system. I think it has done an outstanding job thus far. It is not a platform to spew thinly veiled hints of racism and bigotry, or to promote dissension. Lord knows our "justice" system has many problems that need addressing, time spent dealing with bigots and fear-mongering zealots robs us of precious energy and time.Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-16486235011030501172016-03-30T19:16:48.818-05:002016-03-30T19:16:48.818-05:00Hey Grits, could you get your blm gang to help us ...Hey Grits, could you get your blm gang to help us in Tyler?

How was he able to be able to run for judge after such charges. This is in Paris Texas.

Be respectful. What's the point of dissing people who are mad about the same stuff you are?<br /><br />Just a thought: Maybe BLM folks don't care about your concerns because you so adamantly disrespect theirs? Seriously: Where does that snarky emotional content come from? I keep seeing Grits commenters who seemingly have an interest in criminal justice reform treating BLM like a punching bag, and I honestly don't understand why. BLM barely exists organizationally in Texas, for heaven's sake - at least not under that name.
