Jeremiah Wright's daughter indicted on charges of money laundering and lying to the feds...short story, but interesting. Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:36 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Yeah, that story kind of slid by unnoticed, similar to the Gosnell story. BTW, Flint's homicide rate last year was a lot higher than Chicago's. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

According to the Chicago Tribune on December 28, 2012, Chicago had 500 homicides as of that date. That's a far cry from Flint's less than 100 for the same year.

The number of homicides per 100,000 of population. Assuming Flint's population is 100,00 - I think it's lower, but... - our homicide rate is 66 per 100,000. If I remember correctly, with their vastly larger population, Chicago's homicide rate is around 35 or 36 per 100,000. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.
