Grasp for them straws.
The third comparison is the only one that's relevant. The other two are worthless.

"Average rate of violent crime" includes rural areas, and "average rate of violent crime for a city" includes municipalities of all sizes, few of which are comparable to Pgh and its peers.

No, I wasn't insinuating that. Of course every area in the country has people with the propensity to flip out like this, or even worse. To me though, it's just funnier when a yinzer does it. You really can't put a price on the entertainment value of a yinzer spazzing out in public.
