4.17?  Wow that is more than Austin.

Texas = less violent than Canada.

Judge rules it was an illegal search, tosses the evidence.

I'm sure one day we'll hang the judge high.

Yeah, I've tried to explain that my county has like one homicide a decade on here but since everyone has already concluded Kentucky is the worst place on earth, it just falls on deaf ears.

Indians and booze just do not mix.

That was the year that the Somalis were all killing each other over drugs.  It was a lot of fun, as pretty much everyone who gets murdered here is a bad person.

We will never, ever let actual facts get in the way of busting your ass for living in Kentucky.

To be fair, Baltimore had 35 per 100,000.   

[CountDeMoney]

Yes, but they were all bad.

Has anyone said that they concluded Kentcuky is the worst place on earth because of its murder rate?

About 20 per 100,000 here in Cincy in 2010.  From wiki:

In 2011, using FBI data, the CQ Press ranked Cincinnati the 16th most dangerous city in the United States.  However, the FBI web site recommends against using its data for rankings, since there are many factors that influence crime rates. Also, the CQ Press did not include Chicago, Illinois in its ranking.

According to the Hamilton County Prosecutor, the vast majority of people being murdered are inside the city and African American. In 2009, 44 black men and 11 black women were murdered, but no whites. According to the Prosecutor, people almost always commit murders inside their racial classifications, and there is a subset in the underclass of Cincinnati which "commit a lot of violent crime and tend to be black."

The main reason Kentucky sucks is because it wishes it had joined the Confederacy.  I mean what is wrong with you people?

The Greater Toronto Area's homicide rate was 1.4 per 100,000 in 2011.

The "homicide capital of Canada" was allegedly Thunder Bay, at 4.2.

It had conflicted feelings.  The good parts wanted to stay Union.

Bowling Green doesn't seem too bad to me.
