Deception By Numbers

 I noticed this 'slide' brought around on social media today.....to lay out murders....mostly in southern states.

It's a deceptive 'slide'.

From Mississippi, if you deducted Jackson, Cleveland, and Pascagoula....the murder rate for the state would drop by 50-percent.

From Louisiana, if you dropped New Orleans, and Alexandria....the murder rate for the state would drop by half.

For Alabama, if you simply dropped Birmingham....around half of the state's murders would drop.

Tennessee?  If you dropped Chattooga, Memphis, Knoxville and Nashville....around half the state murder count would drop.

It's a BS statistic....trying to bundle states in this case of murder.  Where you have virtually no poverty.....you have virtually no murders.
