May 2016

here were 8,277,829 property crimes in 2014 according to the FBI and 13,716 murders. That means that only 0.166% of property crimes result in murder.

The relevant data set is not "property crimes," but "armed home invasions." Get back to us with the stats on that. Or better yet, don't, because statistics are irrelevant when someone has a gun in your face.

So when the chances are less than 1 out of 600 that there will be a murder, you don't have a problem with someone just deciding to ignore facts and decide to murder someone?

Deciding to "murder" someone? Please explain how the particulars of this case don't add up to legitimate self-defense. Be detailed and concrete, using the information from the article.
