#1 And in New Orleans there were 7 shootings and 2 murders in the last 24 hours. Being kind to New Orleans, our population is only about 1% that of Iraq, so to match our rate Iraq needs 200 killings and 700 shootings per day. But at least we aren't shooting the National Guardsmen who are here.

#3 Dallas, Texas, a city of just under one million in the mid-1990's, had a record year when just under 1,000 were murdered. (That might have been before the concealed-carry law went into effect?)

If I am doing the math correctly, that's one murder per thousand population. Lotta gangs, tho. Sectarian violence, y'know.
