Basically it shows you a google map of LA with all the murders this year 500+ and counting overlaid on the map.


It breaks it down by age, ethnicity, sex, method, day of the week... etc...


Strangely most people seem to get murdered on sundays... by a factor of about 2 to 1 over any other day.


Maybe you should spend that day in church... or reading a book or something...

Too bad there isn't a way to display all of them at once.

you can fast forward through them all by hitting the "over button" or by clicking on the months... there are rarely more then 25 murders in a single month... though... typically not too far from that figure.


What's nice about this map is it shows you where not to go. Everything between the 405 and Downtown... from the 101 to 105... I go to beverly hills sometimes... but honestly the traffic is horrible over there so I make a point of avoiding it.


Culver city has a lot more murders then I'd think. That's all gang violence by the way... the good news down there is that the area is gentrifying a bit... that should go away in the next 20 years.


What really impressed me though was how few murders there are in the Valley... Almost none... Might be a good place to move when I want a house... that or around Malibu...

Tbh, people get killed on sunday because of church. You know, jesus got killed on a sunday. All them cults kill on sundays usually. Furthermore, if your gonna cap a christian, kill em as they come out of church. Noone goes strapped into a church.

EDIT

Furthermore, people gotta go back to work monday. So its like, FUCK and they want to punch a baby.

Yeah. Tahts why sundays are fucking wack.

Noone goes strapped into a church.

Except in fundamentalist Baptists in Texas. I suppose some people think when Jesus said "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword" that he was telling them to make sure it happened... haha

or anyone living in woodland hills... where apparently there haven't been any murders at all. West side of LA is pretty good too... one homeless guy was killed in a hit and run... that's not bad. I don't walk.
