"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"
-
-
Imagine how bad it would be if Americans didn't have guns to defend themselves.
-
And if those guns didn't have guns of their own.
-
The only thing that can stop a bad gun with a gun is a good gun with a gun.
-
Gun guns. A gun that shoots out guns. Sounds like something from a Borderlands game.
-
-
-
Louisianians be like "Chicago tho amirite"
-
If you take Chicago and New Orleans out of the mix, the two states are actually fairly even.
-
-
There's some bad boujee downindatbayou.
-
That'd be the French influence
-
-
What's the deal with Louisiana?
-
outside of NO, the region is reletively low on education, poverty ridden and low opportunity. its the trio that makes high homicide rate.
-
Oh there's plenty of people killing each other in the city too.
-
reletively low on education
You don't say
-
-
Corruption, poor education, overpowered oil/gas lobby, for-profit prison system that encourages recidivism
And that's just scratching the surface
-
-
I remember reading something while ago that did link high temperatures with higher rates of things like violence. Essentially, being hot all the damn time makes everyone's baseline level of irritability higher and so things escalate more often. Seems a bit counter-intuitive though if we all came from Africa so I'm not sure how true it ultimately is.
-
-
Get killed... Louisiana fast
-
Think 15 milly
-
Wasn’t that where true detective season 1 was based in? Says all you need to know.
-
Must be the Mississipi River. It just gets redder as you go down from Minnesota to Louisiana.
-
-
Missouri is actually #1 if you count all the copicides.
-
Ah yes, the mostly aptly named state, misery.
-
-
UK isn't included for some reason, but in 2020 it was 1.00.
-
What's up with Liechtenstein? That's five people and a fortune, how are they competing with the US?
-
Pretty sure the amount they're listed as having on the graph is equivalent to one single homicide, due to their low population.
-
Probably true, yes. Death by Hilti!
-
Exactly. Extremely small population and short duration (just one year’s data) means even a small number of murders in a given year will easily bump it up.
-
Just checked. With a population of 40k people and a rate of 2.6 murders per 100k, that comes out to a whopping 1 murder. Interestingly, their homicide rate went up by 98.55% in 2021. So.. yeah.. 2 people murdered.
-
-
Leichtenshire.

-
Why do these European charts omit the UK?
We left the EU, not the bloody continent.
-
The data is provided by Eurostat. An EU organisation, they are not going to fund numbers for a country not in the EU anymore (some other countries might still join for various reasons.)
-
If they hold that stance, the graph should not use 'Europe' when they essentially mean 'EU member nations', especially if they omit the UK for the reasons you state as the UK is a part of Europe.
Edit: not sure how difficult this is to understand. Europe is a continent, which includes the UK. The chart says Europe, not EU, whilst omitting a country within Europe.
-
-
We are on there but we had no killings. Just tragic accidents for the greater good.
-
-
What’s up with New Hampshire that it’s on par with the EU countries?
-
-
Authright (PCM) has an answer but I won't repeat it here
-
Why not? Are you some sorta coward? I'll say it: yeah, fascists think a whiter population leads to reduced crime rates. That's because fascists are rubes and imbeciles with such a stunted worldview that they're incapable of considering the effects of any other socio-economic factors such as education, distribution of wealth, etc.
-

-
What's the reason for excluding so many european countries in this graphic?
-
It looks like their source was the Eurostat Data Browser. Maybe these are just the countries it has data for?
-
As with all EU policy, the purpose is to make the USA look bad. This is the only reason Russia is not even in the EFTA or the EU.
I have insider information that powers are play are trying to engineer a way to kick out Latvia to make the statistics more embarrassing to you.
PS: UK 1.48, Switserland Not a country, Russia 6.8, Belarus 2.32, Ukraine 3.84 pre-war, Moldavia 2.27 USA 6.38
I don't think adding Russia will make the difference you think it will, since it's barely more violent than the US.
-
The UK would be 1.00 on this chart - source
-
-
Whenever you see a map with data about most European countries but not the UK, it's probably Eurostat. After Brexit they stopped sharing their data.
-
No data available is what I assumed.
-
Latvia is the Louisiana of Europe
-

A bit surprising seeing us at the top since I rarely feel uncomfortable walking alone during night even through questionable areas. I usually do not even see anyone else so that might be the reason why nothing significant has happened.
Most of those murders probably are from people you know because usually headlines mention something like ″Some guy kills another guy over a bottle of vodka and argument″. Rarely you see in news incidents where murder seems to have happened to random person.
The only recent thing that shook me quite a bit was meeting a guy with large knife. I still do not know if it was just for his own protection and he was some local guard since I was in an industrial area where you would not expect anyone. He was visibly drunk and spoke Russian which I barely know so I did not spend too much time thinking about it and just run the hell away.
It's also better than it was before. In 90s we had a bit of a gangster period. Source.

What's up in the baltic?
-
The leading cause of homicide in the Baltic countries is alcohol. What is interesting is that the victims are usually family members and friends, because you drink at the same table and when you argue, you get angry and it ends badly. It is rare that a person is killed without a connection to the killer, and if it does happen, it makes the national headlines.
During the multiple occupations of the Baltic countries, alcohol was used to control the population. The tsar used it, Stalin used it and now Putin uses it. Alcohol helps to escape from reality and provides comfort. It will take time to overcome the alcoholic generations, measures are being taken to help solve the problem, but you can't change a country where for more than a hundred years alcoholism was the norm.
-
I'd just like to interject and say we cause our own alcoholism, thank you very much. No help from our "friend" in the east needed.
-
That and vendetta honor comfort
-
-
Really? wildly waves hands at history
You gotta be extremely ignorant of even basic history to not see why.
-
-
“Surely not!” And then with a heavy sigh, I remembered Baltimore.
-
Same thing happened to me 😔
-
-
Alabama: "We aren't Mississippi!"
Guess they can include a few others too.
-
-
Hmm Mord means murder though, not homicide, that would be Totschlag. Also there is a note in the sidebox that the graphs include attempted murders.
-
The German equivalent to Alabama is nearly as bad as the original ;-)
-
Whoooo Rheinland-Pfalz! Lesgoooo!
-
-
Not to brag but at least Illinois isn't the worst. That, as usual, goes to the Worst State in the Union in over 90% of all categories, Louisiana.
-
Lousy Ana
-
-
Look at "them there" red states. Life is cheap south of the Mason Dixon Line.
-
It's just another part of the wide range of fantastic options for post-natal abortions, from the fourth trimester onward!
-
No lives matter (except the rich)
-
-
I didn't expect my state to be in 2nd place. I guess I should keep staying away from st Louis and KC. And Jeff city. And probably springfield.
-
It’s not so bad in KC except for the gunfire after a Chiefs game…on Independence Day….NYE….in Westport on the weekends….or driving on the highways….during deer season….Election Day….Easter…MLK Day…National Hot Dog Day…Yom Kippur…Black Friday…and on days when the weather is above 40 degrees. But that’s all.
You’re fine on Tuesday nights when it’s snowing outside. Just watch out for ice on the roads. It’s hard to see.
-
-
Hmm. Pennsylvania. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Philly.
-
Just want to point out the graph maxes out at 12.5 out of 100,000. That’s 0.01% of 100000. With Louisiana’s population of 4.57million, it comes out to 571 people in 2020. Feels pretty low.
-
Denmark, with a population of 5.8 million in 2020, had 42 (0.72 per 100000). 571 seems absolutely astronomical.
-
It’s most definitely a difference, it is also important to note this chart broke the US down into its states but did not do the same for the larger European countries. Taking data from statistica, Paris has a 10.2, the rest of the country is just so much more peaceful the overall is brought down. If America is taken at a whole it has a 6.3, which is still higher but not astronomically compared to the other countries.
In relation to countries outside of Europe, 571 does not seem astronomically high anymore, more like a miracle. Nearly every country in South America, Asia, and Africa that has data is much higher than the US average.
-
-
The colour chart in the top right maxes at 12.5. Not the graph. Louisiana passes the 15 mark by a little bit. So that makes it around 700 people up from 571.
-
-
Why is Mississipi not first on this list too? Louisiana seems off the charts. Any explanation for that?
-
-
Damn, Latvia
-
If you can make it here you ca…. Oh someone killed you…
If I can make it here I ca…
-
Hey he may have died but at least Candlejack didn't get him. OH NO! Now he's gonna get m-
-
-
Im a bit suprised where New Hampshire is on the list. They are the little texas of new england and you can not tell anyone from that state what to do.
-
Whoo!! Better than Latvia!
-
USA is such a great country
-
i'ld say thats not really a surprise IF you have a system that helps criminals to thrive while it tries hard to always put innocent to jail instead and prevent real investigations for the truth, thats at least how i see it.
Below are some links to related "last week tonight"s from YT.
Plz tell me if thats just a show full of lies or if that terror is real in poor underdeveloped 3rd world US: (i might have linked videos not too bad, but i think i was horrified by the outcomes of those linked)

There are some surprises among the best us states, or maybe I’m just not as familiar with them as I expected
-
Europe sits further north than the US does.
The homicide rate seems to go down as you move north.
I am willing to bet if you take the most populous cities in each state they'd fall in a similar organization.
So we can reasonably conclude that hot summers make you want to murder a motherfucker.
Obviously. Nothing else could cause this. Nothing.
Clearly thoughts and prayers aren't helping. So it must be the weather.
-
We need a National crash funding program for air conditioning. That’ll solve it. /s

...But muh second amendment right!
