How does that relate statistically to urban vs rural crime rates? You didn’t make an argument about Detroit. You made one about rural vs city generally.
> where would you rather be caught
When I was 13 years old I witnessed 2 teenagers being assaulted by a crowd of adults with firearms in a rural location while working on a farm for the summer. I’ve never experienced anything scarier since. I don’t extrapolate that experience out to all rural locations though so I’m not sure. I think urban just for the transportation options.
> you used a predominantly black rural area
I didn’t. Tptacek did. I just looked up their stats to see if it was an obvious anomaly. It wasn’t.
You also didn’t make a point about race. Your point was about rural vs urban. Perhaps you’d like to make a further point?
