    That's a very suspect map. Detroit, Flint, and Saginaw all have been in the top 10 most violent cities for the last couple of decades. (FBI data) Usually all 3 are in the top 5. Yet Michigan as a whole is number 22?
    That looks like lying by statistics.

    Not sure where your getting your numbers from. Saginaw isn't even in the top 25, while Detroit and Flint combined contain only 7.6% of the population of the state. Maybe you'd prefer to see it broken down by county:

    I don't see anything like that and my most frequent shipper/receiver locations are Seattle & Portland.

    When you park set the trailer brakes, pull forward to put pressure on the 5th wheel jaws, then set your tractor brakes. Only The Hulk could pull your 5th wheel handle.

    I'm not going to look up past years as you won't believe the data as it doesn't fit your agenda. I will just say it makes the news here every few years.

    The pre-literate, Stone Age groups were extremely friendly to the pre-literate, Stone Age group's competitors when they moved to the same areas, every Harvard professor said so.

    Getting mugged might have felt like a day at the spa, then.

    The news was, but the news day wasn't. It used to be news at certain hours only, with the exception of breaking news of major importance breaking into a broadcast. Today between "news" channels, social media, news apps, there's no comparison.
