Holy fuck the irony. You’re mad at me for making it seem like the data is saying something it may or may not say. That’s gold dude.

Why 88 btw?

I was replying to

> I think this paragraph gives a little context to the rise and hopefully stops any "is it or isn't it getting worse" commentary:

>"Authorities said 203 people were killed in D.C. last year, 10 percent fewer than in 2021. But it was the second consecutive year the city breached the 200-mark for homicides. Before 2021, the District last saw 200 or more killings in 2003."

My point was that the quote they were asserting would stop any commentary about whether things are getting worse was not at all informative about whether things are getting worse.

Yeah the comment I replied to said that. Hence why I said it.

I don’t have numbers. I don’t know what you’re calling my numbers. I gave one hypothetical.

You’re missing the point. The editorialized bullshit of claiming that sentence actually had any significance is the point

You’re missing the point

No it isn’t. It’s really only two years. Does it matter if it was under 200 if it was 197 a bunch of those years? This is not informative data AT ALL. Sure, the data does exist, but the assertion that this meaningless statement (which doesn’t provide the data) stops any debate is fucking ludicrous.

Yeah for sure three years of data points shows everything. Case closed boys. Wrap it up.

Thanks. That CNN article had a lot more info. The AP one was very sparse. I’ll check the others as well. This can serve as a great resource to point to regarding far right infiltration into forces.

Is there more info besides this article?

It’s gotten so bad that the average person has joined in the construction to speed up the project and is now fabricating narratives about being assaulted.

Most likely yes, but be sure to notify them of that intention.
