Do *you* understand the difference between robbery and armed robbery?
Do you understand the difference between having "a 'loved one'
assaulted by a unethical criminal, intent on taking stuff and doing
bodily harm" and those statistics?
If you do not, you're simply one of the idiots. Richard's data does
not match Richards claim. His claim was simply emotional drivel
unsupported by actual data.
I wouldn't let a personal negative bias against a person, or group,
interfere with an impartial evaluation of relevant statistics.
Dude, those are not the relevant statistics. Richard created the
definition and then moved the goalpost.
Are you aware of the fact that most assaults and rapes are committed
by someone known to the victim?
