I mean, I haven't read about them but I have to assume they are occuring. If the people have knives with springs in them, it's really the only logical conclusion.
New Hampshire owns one of the nation’s lowest crime rates.
But that New Hampshire advantage is a disadvantage for residents of Hispanic origin. The Granite State has one of the nation’s highest per-capita rates for jailing Latinos.
Criminal justice experts say the state’s low crime rate might have to do with a culture in the state that holds people accountable for their actions.
The high incarceration rate for Latinos might have more to do with economics and with unintentional and subtle rather than outright discrimination, experts say.
According to the most current U.S. Census Bureau statistics available, New Hampshire in 2009 had the third-lowest rate of violent crime, a rate of 169.5 violent crimes per 100,000 people. Maine had the lowest rate, and the District of Columbia the highest, with Nevada second highest.
I find it a shame our Nation's Capital has the highest rate of crime.
not trying to be mean, but he was being sarcastic.
just dident want you to think that JimBrown257 was anti automatic knives,
