I'm going to do my best to avoid committing a homicide this weekend. I know it's in my genes, but I promise to do my best to resist my irrational, blood-thirsty, genetically-driven impulses. Let's see if I can get through 3 episodes of Luke Cage on Netflix without bodying someone.
I don't think I can hold it in, every time I see a black male I just have an urge to pull out my paint gun and turn it sideways then commit a driveby on my Bycicle, I am probably going to shoot another person today, would be the third one this week.
I remember the first time I saw murder rates back in the 70s, I saw the list in a World Almanac. Louisiana was #1 then and still #1 40 years later. A constant in an ever changing world.
The only year between 1960 & 1988 that Louisiana's murder rate was the highest was 1978. But since 1989, it's been the highest every year. Since 1998, Louisiana's incarceration rate has been the highest every year also.That's crazy!!

Keep in mind Maryland is also the richest state in the country.
Yes, the majority of Maryland is affluent and safe. The homicide numbers are EXTREMELY distorted by Baltimore especially and Prince George's County.
Outside of Baltimore and Prince George's County, the murder rate in Maryland is 1.67 per 100,000.
This means that the 4.2 million Marylanders who don't live in Baltimore or Prince George's County are as safe as Maine and Vermont. This is why it makes no sense to look at murder rates by state.

The wealthiest states, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey are home to some of the most troubled inner-city communities. I agree with your assessment.
