- brazzy 7y agoThat is ridiculously wrong. There are about half a million structure fires in the USA per year (source: https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-fire https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-fire), compared to about 17,000 murders, of which those committed in the course of a home invasion are most likely a small fraction.
