Comment on Spread of gang violence wrecks Sweden's peaceful image
bulwark@lemmy.world 6 months agoJust because I was curious and wanted to see an apples to apples comparison: Sweden’s fatal shootings = 1/200,000 America’s fatal shootings = ~205/200,000

Are you two using different numbers or something? 7/68,000 as quoted in the parent comment equates to less than 28/200,000 Or is my brain just breaking and I’ve forgotten how to math?

Apologize for the bad math your right. It’s only like 25x more likely to be shot in the USA not 200.

No worries! It’s been a long day and I genuinely was having trouble telling if my brain was breaking or not
