Re: another Plaxico type event
This guy has some good comments about an other comment about this not being the "wild west".
John Hardin says:
Todd:
Violent crime rates in "the wild west" were lower than violent crime rates in the cities are today.
In the book "Frontier Violence: Another Look", author W. Eugene Hollon states "In Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City, and Caldwell, for the years from 1870 to 1885, there were only 45 total homicides. This equates to a rate of approximately 1 murder per 100,000 residents per year."
The rate of homicide in Seattle in 2006 was 5.1 per 100,000 according to http://seattle.areaconnect.com/crime1.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He also states "In Abilene, supposedly one of the wildest of the cow towns, not a single person was killed in 1869 or 1870."
Let's bring back the "wild west", it would be safer!
A violent crime can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. I'm sure the Petit family felt perfectly safe in their home in their nice neighborhood. I'm sure everybody in Luby's Cafeteria on Oct. 16, 1991 didn't think anything remarkable was going to happen that day.
I know the probability of my personally becoming a victim of a violent crime is very low. But I also recognize that probability is not zero. I choose to be prepared for that unlikely eventuality, for the same reason I always wear my seatbelt when I'm in a car, and carry a fire extinguisher in my car, and have a fire extinguisher in my kitchen and bedroom. Does that make me delusional? Or prudent?
While I think the comments by SA and Todd only serve to highlight their own delusions (or possibly their prejudices), I do join you in mocking this guy for not using a holster and suffering the consequences.
