Is nice to see the extrapolations and ganging together.

The edited version is still confusing. What are you talking about?

I think Darnell feels left out and blames you for it AJ.

Darnell, surely you can round up your own group of Hillbilly Pirates and give us a run for our money, Aye??

I'm personally wondering if 2012 was just an especially bad year. I believe this year's stats are still higher than the last 5 years excluding 2012.

Yes, the worst year before 2012 was 2008. 2009-2011 were fairly similar and 2012 saw another rise. Looking at Chicago's homicide numbers is actually pretty interesting...

1928: 399

1965: 395

1974: 970

1990: 851

1991: 927

1992: 943

1993: 855

1994: 931

1995: 828

1996: 796

1997: 761

1998: 704

1999: 643

2000: 633

2001: 667

2002: 656

2003: 601

2004: 453

2005: 451

2006: 471

2007: 448

2008: 513

2009: 459

2010: 436

2011: 435

2012: 506

The 90s were brutal.

Or he can become one of us. He'll have to pretend to believe in certain things, of course, just as we do.

The correlations are clear.

It would be much more fun to have two rival gangs pitted against each other in P&R. We could even wear costumes and stuff, course nobody would see them, but at least the thought would be there.

We can change our avatars to represent which side we fight for.

There will always be malcontents and dissidents.

Ok, one side will be wearing white sheets. What will we wear?

Please, no rainbow patterns.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

I vote pink and sparkly.

I like that idea. We could have gang colors or team flags. And we can pick Captains.
