claimed - violent crime - once every 23 seconds - lets call it 30 sec to make the math easy.
Murder, once every 30 muniutes.
violent crime - that's roughly 1:200 ppl pevery year
murder - that is roughly 1:600 every year. So if you live 60 years on average, 1:10 of your friends should have been murdered during their lifetimes....
Is my math off or is this guy full of shit?
Hmm - I'm really questioning my math - but it still seems really high!
Yeah - maybe that should be one in 100 of your friends and aquatences murdered during their lifetimes.
