Media is highlighting two stories about immigrants killing people, so I wanted to remind everyone you're more likely to be killed by an acquaintance than a stranger. : chapotraphouse

You're most likely to be killed by your health insurance company or by a car though

The best part about corporate personhood is that if your corporation is a person it can indeed be killed the-doohickey

I'm on my lunch and literally almost got killed by some dipshit in a prius running the light.

My friend who went to the US and lived there for three years said Americans driving is something else

I don't usually yell at people on the street but they slowed down for like half a second and I thought they noticed the cross walk sign and then just sped up anyway. I'm wearing a fucking bright neon green safety jacket and smoking a cigarette so I just yelled at the top of my lungs "WHAT THE FUCK! FUCK YOU". In that moment if I could have caught up to that person I would have probably threatened to beat their ass.

I may be misreading the statistics, but shouldn't "relationship of victim to offender" imply that the Wife category denotes 563 wives of killers?? I don't know if the chart got something turned around somewhere.

soviet-hmm Yeah most DV is men on women, so it's probably not right.

Searching around, I'm mostly seeing 3 Mariticides for every 4 Uxoricides, so it's a curious discrepancy. Some places have different ratios though.

And because of that you’re several times more likely to be killed by someone of your own race/ethnicity than someone of a different race /ethnicity.

Should be a tagline, just to spread the word. This is 100% unbiased fact.

this is why you should always be more afraid of a person the closer and more intimate you are with them

They need to catch this "Unknown" guy

What I'm taking away from this is if I ever get that "do I know you...?" feeling around someone, that is my cue to cut and run.
