Why don’t we take a look at the murder rate by state?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...cide_rate#List

Here we see that 8 of the top 10 STATES by murder rate are deeply red states. I’m sure that you are going to argue those numbers are influenced by the large Democratic cities in those states. My response is there are large cities in blue states. Yet, only two states, Illinois and Maryland make it into the top ten-at eight and nine.

What's the definition of murder?
