Here are about 300 cities with populations over 100k. So taking pride in being above the fifth percentile is a pretty interesting thing. Again, it's nothing to worry about for most white people there or in DC or Detroit or Baltimore. The coloreds have been kept away. My wife is hotter than your wife.

lawrocket 3 #57 March 11, 2015 Crime rate means something. But death toll also means something. It's why when a tornado hits somewhere and is deadly we don't read that less than a thousandth of one percent of the US population was killed in the event. What percentage of the population of NYC was killed on 9/11? Sometimes raw numbers can actually be important. Obviously, though, raw numbers are more important than statistics at some times and are less important than statistics at other times. My wife is hotter than your wife.
