And its even a leap year!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that! So does that mean we'll have to wait another four years for the murder rate to drop again?
ReplyDeleteNo, but should that day count as credit if there is a murder on the last day of March?
ReplyDeleteWow what a great find this blog is. I grew up in Flint, Graduate Flint Northern and then attended UofM-Flint and moved to San Francisco in 1994. I've lived in the Bay Area for about twelve years.....

The only reason it went down was because it was to cold and had to much snow.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was too cold outside to go out and murder people during January and February.
