        And yet, the zip codes with the highest rate of gang activity are consistently the zip codes with the highest homicide rates, and there is a strong social correlation between murderers and victims.

        I wonder why all these non-gang members go to areas of high gang activity to kill and be killed. I guess they’re just trying to frame innocent, hard-working criminals.

          Dude… you’re wrong. I get your impulse to entrench yourself in your sad cognitive dissonance, but just let it go- you’re wrong. Case closed.
