Hope y'all had a merry one the other day.
But what spin do you talk about???
You are correct. The chart doesn't cover last two years. But if you read the article where the chart is at, it gives states in the subheading of the article what you say. No spin there. And I plainly posted that the FBI states we are in the top 15. Wait till next year so they can give numbers for 2021.
It even gives hard facts of the increase in the number of homicides from year prior when the article was published (8/7/20). That ain't a spin.
So, that means only "1" year is missing. That would be for 2021. And if you wait a couple of days, that number will be available since they talley by the year. Not partial or "almost" year.
So, I "almost" gave complete stats. Seeing that it goes back to 1960, that is only 1.6% of the data missing. Way less than 3 standard deviations. For the people that don't do stats, it's another way of saying it is statistically insignificant.
Crypt, you sure do let your political leanings get in the way peoples' postings. I am in agreement with you but for some reason you like to make an arguement of the fact that violent crime is on the increase of late. Idk.
I hope the rest of your holidays go well.
