And we think Flint has it bad!
Another link at the bottom of that page is interesting--Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter indicted on charges of money laundering and lying to the feds...short story, but interesting. |

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'm talking about the rate, not the total. 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. |
