I mean...
A population of 873,965 in San Fran vs 2,304,580 in Houston.
1 in ~25,000 people in San Fran get murdered vs 1 in ~7,150 people in Houston. That's ~3.5x higher. Per capita isn't helping much here.
I’m not saying SF is more dangerous. I’m just saying people are idiots who don’t understand statistics. Which is what got us into this mess.
You are right to call it out.
OP is poorly presented. Murder rates should be presented at number per 100k.
Anything else is a shiti spin.
And yes that's how we got here to begin with.
When truth is on your side, why are these idiots adding unnecessary spin?
Truth has been on our side this whole time and it hasn't mattered an iota. So I don't care about making sure everything is laid out "just so" anymore. The 2-second walkaway is the win.
I’ve changed my mind about this.
People are idiots and campaigning like they’re not is how you lose.
Make shit up, misrepresent statistics, flat out lie. I don’t give a fuck anymore.
It's helping a lot
