Not at all, as I've said, I would rather start with LA over any of the other WC playoff teams. Bunch of underachievers who look good on paper but don't even deserve to be in the playoffs.
Ouch. Not to bring up the US guns vs Canadian no guns debate but how many murders did Vancouver (a comparable city to Seattle) have? I am guessing much less.
But Seattle's murder rate is low for a city of nearly 600,000. There were 24 killings in 2004 and 25 last year. Boston, of comparable size, had 61 in 2004 and 73 last year.
Seattle is now at at least 18 for this year, with six of them coming in one mass shooting alone.
