you do get the concept of "probabilities" right? You're not going to suggest that Potomac, MD is as dangerous as Baltimore, are you? You want to play that game? I can show you stats all day long.

Potomac violent crime is 3.3. (The US average is 22.7)
Potomac property crime is 8.2. (The US average is 35.4)

Baltimore violent crime is 77.8. (The US average is 22.7)
Baltimore property crime is 67.6. (The US average is 35.4)

so I guess we need to discuss probabilities - the Baltimore violent crime rate 23.57 TIMES higher than Potomac, MD and the property crime rate is 8.2 times higher.

but sure, bring out an article about a murder 26 years ago. probabilities mean NOTHING. LOL

and by the way, Potomac has not had a murder since before 2007 at least. NONE. probably longer than that, but that's the only as far as i could find statistics. Baltimore is on pace for like 400 murders THIS YEAR.

so your point is.....?
