OT/ To Butch/ Iraq.....A safer place to live?!?

[Guest guest]

Dear Butch,

 

 

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the

Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of

2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

 

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the

same period.

 

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in

the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in

the nation, than you are in Iraq.

 

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington immediately!!

 

What is the kill rate in Chicago these days?????

That is a skewed figure :-) you are not counting the Iraqi deaths during that

same period..

Also consider that we have had LESS killed in Iriq in 3 years then we had killed

in 3 hours on 9/11

LMAO -I LOVE this. I think this is a correct conclusion.....

Jan,

 

I agree with you, lol. Although it is no laughing matter and I don't know about

Chicago, I can tell you the death rate in N.O. is pretty high about now. At

least 300 ( at last I heard) National Guard troops to help control the matter.

And there were 12 or 13 State Troopers also. I think they left. But the Mayor

asked for an extension of the N. G. Pretty sad state our Country is in.
