May 2016

in the last 20 years we've easily had 10s of thousands of accidents...

we've had 3000 in the last two years alone...

As for police shootings, yeah their are endless police shootings... Between Jan of last year and now the police have shot and killed about 1500 civilians in America. That's 1500 in 17 months... you might want to use a different word other than endless, but... has it ended? Is it recent? No to both... it's an ongoing problem with no end in site. Endless.

And re: Uzbekistan... yeah?

As for the 104 number, sorry I read it as 228, not 218... off by one..

So yeah, there's only 104 countries with lower murder rates than us...

Here's a few countries with lower murder rates:

Belarus
Latvia
Liberia
Vietnam
Kosovo
Ghana
Bulgaria
