crime in the city
I've been thinking about crime in Los Angeles. A friend brought up the news of a 14 year old who was shot 19 times in LA recently. Our church has also been thinking about moving more towards the 'city'.
While looking at some of the crime statistics, I was wondering how they compare to war casualties. Luckily I found this nice article, since it's a bit early in the morning to do all the research myself.
"The average monthly death toll for US soldiers in Iraq is 55.6 deaths per month while the average reported murders per month in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City are 48.7, 51.9 and 49.3 deaths per month."
