It always irritates me when idiots like nycboy try to score points by trying to compare stuff that doesn't compare. You cannot compare a state to a city when dealing with homicide rates. That's just stupid. Rock on Ms. Chillata!
Also, comparing the % of black and spanish is stupid. Compare Miami maybe. Or Jacksonville possibly. Or add up large Florida cities until you have an equal population base and then compare.
Not everyone will ask themselves these questions or even realize it's apples and Oranges. They want to believe it's true and when they hear statements and statistics that please them they believe.

Exactly. How do you compare a state with 21+ million people to a city with 8 million?
