[CW: Gender violence]

I dunno if these stats are right... How are you more likely to be killed by your wife than your husband? Domestic murder is overwhelmingly men killing women...

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 28 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Ohhhh you're right. I was reading it wrong. Damn I'm not bright haha

Well you say that, but your name is Dirt_Owl not Dumb_Owl so jot that down. To quote the chart

12 people were murdered by their employer

3,527 people were killed by an acquaintance compared to 1,674 who were killed by a stranger.

so the bar titles denote the killer not the victim. I'm confused cat-confused

See this is why I hate graphs.

12 people were murdered by their employer

12 employers were murdered by their employees

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That would make sense, but that's what it says verbatim

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

relationship of victim to offender

yes, which means the victim is (employer of) offender. the offender killed their employer.

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Which makes sense, yes. I'm saying, since the start of the thread, that the chart title, the bar labels, and the text on the statista page are conflicting with each other which makes the whole thing look unprofessional.

ok nvm I see what you mean. the bottom text is wrong and should be reversed.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 7 points 12 hours ago

I did the exact same thing, and my bullshit meter went off the charts

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.

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

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 22 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You're most likely to be killed by your health insurance company

Not if you get them first luigi-dance

The best part about corporate personhood is that if your corporation is a person it can indeed be killedthe-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.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 11 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

They need to catch this "Unknown" guy

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.
