How is this relevant at all? Not that the article is great but how is rape in country X relevant to a horrific incident in country Y? Or is this supposed to make the shit that happens in a savage third world country better just cause it happens here?
- lostlogin 14y agoGood point, however I do understand how it happens. People have a perception of how safe/unsafe their own country is, so adding in the US numbers allows a mental comparison to occur. The recent spate of gun violence related articles had this as well, with people comparing and contrasting Australia, the UK, Switzerland and a host of other countries. I wondered why these places mattered - I concluded that it provided context.
