re: Would you support a 'Don't Send Your Kids To LSU' campaign?

Unless the stats you're referring to have been normalized, they're not making an apples-to-apples comparison across the years.

Ha ha! Normalized to what? Population in Baton Rouge? It's been about the same for years. I think you're using fancy words but not knowing what they really mean.

It's a little disingenuous to quote violent crime numbers but fail to acknowledge the huge spike in homicides.

I did acknowledge that homicides have increased recently. Read my posts. They were fairly high in the early 90s as well. But violent crime as a whole, which includes things such as rape, assault, armed robberies as well as homicides, was as a whole lot worse in the 80s and 90s. Should you just ignore all those crimes outside of homicide? Do your own research if you doubt mine but my data is straight from the FBI web site.
