3/ looking at murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, we get 392,562 per year. Assume unique offenders (untrue, but close enough) so 0.1% of the population. >>> https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/table-43 …

4/ rounding numbers to make the math easy, we see that 0.4% of blacks commit violent crimes, and 0.07% of whites do. so let me correct the orginal galaxy mind: 0.4% do 52%, a different 0.07% do 48%, and 99.53% do 0% I think this is pretty much the same thing as the original.

6/ > Your claim is demonstrably false. Gosh, if only I'd thought ahead to add the caveat " (untrue, but close enough) ". I really wish I'd thought to do that in tweet #3 in this series. Good catch!https://twitter.com/__ice9/status/1312097844837453825 …

7/ Good thing I've got a time machine though. I can go back and address your objection before you raised it. Now the historical record makes you look like an anklebiter who didn't even read the thread. What an unfair advantage this machine gives me!

Real percentage is substantially higher in both, unfortunately. If this were literally true, stopping it would be much simpler.
