[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thus far in 2026, more people have been killed on the roads (https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/traffic-data) than have been murdered (https://mpdc.dc.gov/am/dailycrime).

It’s wonderful that crime appears to have fallen so sharply and we can only hope that this continues.

However, that so many people are dying on DC roads is unsurprising to many of us who witness that moronic behavior of some drivers on our streets.[/quote]

You get the [b]award for most egregious misrepresentation of statistics[/b]. Here's more than a decade's worth of data, which is a tad more reliable than what random things happened in the past four weeks.

2024: 20 killed by speeding drivers, 187 murdered
2023: 22 killed by speeding drivers, 274 murdered 
2022: 9 killed by speeding drivers, 203 murdered
2021: 12 killed by speeding drivers, 226 murdered
2020: 15 killed by speeding drivers, 198 murdered
2019: 10 killed by speeding drivers, 166 murdered
2018: 9  killed by speeding drivers, 160 murdered
2017: 12 killed by speeding drivers, 116 murdered
2016: 8 killed by speeding drivers, 135 murdered
2015: 11 killed by speeding drivers, 162 murdered
2014: 12 killed by speeding drivers, 105 murdered 
2013: 11 killed by speeding drivers, 104 murdered[/quote]

Deliciously ironic that you are accusing someone who is quoting current data and providing a link to the source with “egregiously misrepresenting statistics” when YOU go on to do this in the very next sentence. I’d call it Orwellian, but it’s just disgusting. When people ask you about your hobbies, do you tell them you spend your free time propagating falsehoods that encourage people to engage in behavior that puts others’ lives at risk? You are every bit as reprehensible as those who denied the existence of COVID in April 2020. Please grow a conscience.[/quote]

You sound crazy. [/quote]
