Baltimore murder rate 2017 edition

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I live about 15 minutes from Baltimore

I heard about this late last night. Shit like that usually doesn't go down in that part of fell's. Just around the corner from there is fancy condos and the other way is a few streets full of bars. Go up the road about 3 miles and you'll find yourself in a sketchy neighborhood though.

The record store I go to is actually right next door to that tattoo shop too

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I got the shop confused with another one in the same neighborhood. Its way closer to that sketchy part actually. Pretty much if you go a 2 blocks one way its $400k rowhomes and a block the other way is Baltimore city public housing.

H&S bakery is in that neighborhood too. So when you come stumbling out of the bars at 2am it smells like fresh baked bread.

Is this a drop?

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

Well they reclassified 2 from 2015 bringing that years total down from 344 to 342. So now 2017 ranks 2nd all time behind the 1993 total of 353. It also set the record at 55.8 homicides per 100,000 people.

2014 - 211
2015 - 342
2016 - 318
2017 - 343

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

Have to back to 2011 for the last time it was under 200

[happiness and harmony]

wait a few more days though. they may discover new end-of-year corpses

however a total of 343 would result in

.93972 BPD

mercifully lower than the autumn high

[happiness and harmony]

the official 2017 year-end tally for the official city of the chicago cubs was 664 homicides, for an average of 1.81917 CPD

while absurdly high, this is down from last year's pace of 2.15573 CPD, based on 789 murders in 366 days

this is also a marked decrease from the october 20th pace of 702 murders for the year

the official city of the chicago cubs saved 125 more lives last year than in 2016 keep up the good work the official city of the chicago cubs
