Finally, Our Algebra Teacher Proven Right

Kudos to our 9nth grade math teacher; we finally used that algebra stuff she was talking about. The NYTimes is bragging about New York’s decrease in violent crime, and the reduction of the citywide murders. Jersey City went down too, from 24 murders in 2003 to a mere 23. Unless our math was wrong, we’re dissappointed to learn New Yorkers are safer then we are:
New York: 7 murders per 100,000
Jersey City 9.5 murders per 100,000
Of course, maybe we didn’t do the math right, since we were never very good at it. In either case, we contend all that crime happens in those dark corners of the city we don’t even talk about here.
