Florida is much safer than Washington D.C.
Dear Mr. Osgood: The only logical way to look at murder rates is homicides per capita. Cherrypicking a total deaths number without reference to the number of residents in a state is foolish at best and disingenuous at worst. Florida was ranked 27th in the United States with 5.0 deaths...
