You Canadians, it’s probably like one in a million.
One out 179 Americans will eventually be murdered over the course of their lifetimes if the country’s murder rate remains at 2021 levels.
A study examining murders in 2021 based on death certificate data projects that one out 179 Americans will eventually be murdered over the course of their lifetimes if the country’s murder rate remains at 2021 levels.
“That means if you’re in the United States, you live here, you’re born and you spend your life here, your odds of your life ending by murder are one in 179 over your life. Not over a year or any other time frame.”
“It’s just somebody’s gonna murder you before you die of natural causes, an accident, suicide, whatever it may be,”
Jim Agresti, president and co-founder of Just Facts, a nonprofit research institute, told Fox News Digital. Agresti also authored the study.
Just Facts undertook a massive project to examine how many people were murdered in 2021 after weeks of news outlets and experts reporting there is no definitive figure for 2021 murders due to newly-released FBI data for that year being incomplete and based on estimates.
Follow the advice of Dalton: “I want you to be nice until it’s time to not be nice.”
Then I’m moving to Canada and be Buds with Scotty T. I never realized how freezing ones butt off could save lives.
Mittens can’t pull triggers.
All I carry is a sawed off shotgun. I wonder if Canada will let it through?
“I promise Mr. Mounted Policeman, I forgot I had it stuck down my pants.”
A well dressed resident of Canada will always carry their sawed off shotgun on a sling and under a respectable length overcoat…just for the record Gene and you are very welcome here..
Never learn anything about Hillary…
One Out of 179 Americans Will Be Murdered. How Can Americans Increase Their Odds?
Perhaps if we instituted MAID like they have in Canada it wouldn’t be necessary for ordinary citizens to shoulder the responsibility of taking out the garbage.
Shoot first.
That worked out so well for Greedo.
One Out of 179 Americans Will Be Murdered. How Can Americans Increase Their Odds?
Up or down?
I don’t understand “over a lifetime”. Do some people get murdred more than once?
Ask Bill Clinton.
Increase their odds? You mean increase the odds of getting murdered? Endless possibilities
Sleep with a mob boss’s wife/daughter/pet dog
Tug on Superman’s cape
Mess around with Jim
Start some Antifa crap in any flyover state in a town with less than 5,000 residents
Are they sure it wasn’t Covid 19 deaths? Even car accident victims were classified as Covid.
So here’s the plan. I dial 911 and tell the police I’ve been murdered. Like in “D.O.A”, but here’s the twist: Instead of sitting around smoking cigs with the cops and telling them my story, I just…disappear. Then I got it made. Because if 1 out of 179 Americans gets murdered ONCE, how many of them get murdered TWICE? 1 out of, what, 358? More? I’m no mathematician. I’m an idea guy.
Stupid statistic. Many ways to decrease your odds of being murdered
Don’t be a black male
Don’t live in a large city
Don’t associate with known criminals
Go home at night
Be moderate in your habits
Threaten to rat on the Clintons
So, ya wants to get moidered, do yas? Okay, here’s whatcha do. Foist, move ta Chicago. I mean like REAL Chicago, not those tony neighborhoods on the lakefront where’s you can find Oprah and Obama galavanting around like some new age Caesars. Ya can increase yer odds if youse start getting into the drug game, especially if ya tries to short one of the guys a bit of cheddar on that right ball you asking fer, or, better yet, let slip something that might lead somebody to thinking youse in with the five-oh.
Sorry about that. Somehow Cross -Eyed Johnny (that guy who works out of the back room of El Skeezo’s Liquor Emporium) saw the topic and grabbed my phone. Considering I don’t have any desire to increase my chances, I figured it best to let him go, especially since I have the distinct impression that he might have some experience on the topic.
Try to pet the Biden’s dog Commander.
Do a Rachel Corrie on the front of an Israeli armored bulldozer.
(Maybe an obscury as well)
That wasn’t really murder, more of a Darwin Award.
As far as an obscury- who could ever forget St. Pancake? But, I will let the usual arbiters of obscuries make that decision.
True, self inflicted, like being the drummer for Spinal Tap.
It is the opposite of an Obscury Captain Obvious.
Make fun of the emu
You’re asking for a closed casket with that one.

Well up here in Canada, statistics show 1 in 122 people will have a near death experience from choking while chugging maple syrup. It is only the fact that Canadians are required to attend mandatory CPR/ First Aid training every three years that everyone survives. People gladly join in and often argue over who gets the breathing into the sweet maple lips and who gets chest compression duties.
I chugged a gallon of honey once and was clinically dead for 13 minutes.
Ohh bee hive…
So if I live to be 179 years old does that increase the odds to 1:1?
