    [CW: Gender violence]

    I dunno if these stats are right... How are you more likely to be killed by your wife than your husband? Domestic murder is overwhelmingly men killing women...

      I may be misreading the statistics, but shouldn't "relationship of victim to offender" imply that the Wife category denotes 563 wives of killers?? I don't know if the chart got something turned around somewhere.

          Well you say that, but you name is Dirt_Owl not Dumb_Owl so jot that down. To quote the chart

          12 people were murdered by their employer

          3,527 people were killed by an acquaintance compared to 1,674 who were killed by a stranger.

          so the bar titles denote the killer not the victim. I'm confused cat-confused

        Searching around, I'm mostly seeing 3 Mariticides for every 4 Uxoricides, so it's a curious discrepancy. Some places have different ratios though.

    What I'm taking away from this is if I ever get that "do I know you...?" feeling around someone, that is my cue to cut and run.

    You're most likely to be killed by your health insurance company or by a car though

      I'm on my lunch and literally almost got killed by some dipshit in a prius running the light.

        My friend who went to the US and lived there for three years said Americans driving is something else

          I don't usually yell at people on the street but they slowed down for like half a second and I thought they noticed the cross walk sign and then just sped up anyway. I'm wearing a fucking bright neon green safety jacket and smoking a cigarette so I just yelled at the top of my lungs "WHAT THE FUCK! FUCK YOU". In that moment if I could have caught up to that person I would have probably threatened to beat their ass.

        The best part about corporate personhood is that if your corporation is a person it can indeed be killedthe-doohickey

    And because of that you’re several times more likely to be killed by someone of your own race/ethnicity than someone of a different race /ethnicity.
