Ooh, ooh, Mista Kottah - I know that answer: is it "run away like William Petit, then get married to the chick raising money for the Foundation based on your slaughtered wife and two daughters"?

Yeah, I remember a small town in Western PA had two murders. That year they had the same "murder rate" as Zimbabwe or something like that in terms of deaths per 100,000 people.

If you don't pay close attention to the fine print people can pull anything on you. Heck, Mr. Obama has used that tendency of people who like him not to read the fine print to get away with all sorts of crap.

May be if that family in Washington Dc had a gun they may still be alive?

This was in 2013.

Baltimore should up near the top of the list in 2015.

Yeah they are on a roll this year. They really need to consider stricter gun laws or at least make murder illegal or something.

Every time the legislature convenes, millions of people get robbed all at once. That has to skew the crime statistics for Harrisburg at least a little.

I couple of years ago Tioga county homicide rate went way up. As I recall there were 4 homicides that year. One landlord got stabbed and one guy took a shotgun to his wife and her lover. To quote old Sam Clemens, "There are three kinds of lies, lies, damn lies and statistics."

For those of you that don't recognize that name, you may know him better for his pen name. Mark Twain.
