Murder in LA

LA Times has an awesome use of Google maps, from which we learn:

  • After 30, people gradually stop with the killing each other so much.

  • No surprise, really, but there are a disproportionate number of Hispanic and black homicide victims. In fact, most of the points flagged on the map are in heavily minority-populated areas.

  • Males are more than 7 times as likely to be murdered as females. And you ladies begrudge us a small thing like higher salaries...?

  • Guns don't kill people...no, wait, yeah they do.

  • Sundays a good day for a killin'.

  • The Po-po are almost as big a threat to you as your own family.
