The US murder rate is a long-term problem. It's hard to imagine now, but it used to be twice as high even back in the early 90's. But as much as it has fallen, so have the rates in other developed nations, and the ratio remains around the same as it used to be - the US murder rate is persistently 4 to 6 times higher than most Western European nations, 4-5 times higher than Australia and New Zealand, 3 times higher than Canada, and 12-15 times higher than Japan.
7 doesn't seem like all that much if you look at what has gone on in Mexico where they have very strict gun laws. Try 24 in one day -- or a burial pit of 80 people who were all blungeoned to death.
Interesting that it happens to be 7 people, just like the wisconsin one. More then likely this is staged false flag too.
Well the Wisconsin case was 7 INCLUDING the shooter -- so it was 6 if you count the innocent ones, no one cares about the shooter.
You can bet no one is going to care at all about the 7 killed in Detroit -- their families will not have all the outpouring of sympathy like they would have if they were Sikhs. No media attention whatsoever other than a short blirp.
As for Canada -- ever since they had that guy cut off some guy's head on a Greyhound bus, I've been leery of going there. It seems they have a problem with knives there.
I recall when my grandfather came to visit me a couple years back, when I was living in Michigan, 9 people were murdered in Detroit that day. Not uncommon, and barely news worthy anymore. Detroit is hazardous to your health, very well documented fact. Another reason to avoid voting democrat.
Gee... You were doing so well, being informative and all. But you just couldnt resist stooping to a polital hate jab, eh? As if anyone should care about that in this context.
How does a city of 3.4M in South Africa, called Cape Town, manage to garner itself a murder rate of 46.15? South Africa requires "a competency test and several other factors, including background checking of the applicant, inspection of an owner's premises, and licensing of the weapon by the police introduced in July 2004."?
So South Africa has similar gun laws to Canada, actually more strict most likely, yet Cape Town's murder rate is similar to Detroit's? Can you explain that, please? Cape Town is smaller than Toronto, so why the explosion in the murder rate despite strict gun control in South Africa?
