This has happened before in America.

A study examining murders in 2021 based on death certificate data projects that one out of 179 Americans will eventually be murdered over the course of their lifetimes if the country’s murder rate remains at 2021 levels.
“That means if you’re in the United States, you live here, you’re born and you spend your life here, your odds of your life ending by murder are one in 179 over your life. Not over a year or any other timeframe.”
“It’s just somebody’s gonna murder you before you die of natural causes, an accident, suicide, whatever it may be,” Jim Agresti, president and co-founder of Just Facts, a nonprofit research institute, told Fox News Digital. Agresti also authored the study.
Just Facts undertook a massive project to examine how many people were murdered in 2021 after weeks of news outlets and experts reporting there is no definitive figure for 2021 murders due to newly released FBI data for that year being incomplete and based on estimates.
America was choked by violent crimes in 2020, when murders spiked by nearly 30% compared to the prior year. It marked the largest single-year increase in killings since the agency began tracking crimes. Experts who have previously spoken to Fox News Digital pointed to calls to defund the police, the riots of 2020, the Ferguson effect — when police pull back amid a spike in violent crime and unrest — and the COVID pandemic for contributing to the bloodshed of 2020.
The FBI switched to a new recording program at the start of 2021 called the National Incident-Based Reporting System that aims to provide a more thorough snapshot of offenses, such as what weapons were used in an incident, types of property stolen and more detailed demographic information on victims and perpetrators of crimes.

So as long as 1/179 of the people I know has already been murdered, I’m safe, right?
Guns. Don’t leave home without them. 😉

Far, FAR greater chance of being killed in an automobile wreck.

Not if 178 are armed.
Are Democrats imitating this societal plan? Perhaps not intentionally...
Just once, however.
You beat me to it.
It probably will impact black folk quite a bit since they are so intent on killing each other.
Looking at the raw statistics, it pretty much has to be said that the best way to avoid being murdered is to stay away from blacks and hispanics.
Between murder and abortion they’re doing their best to eliminate Democrat voters.
Half of America are victims of the crooks the other half elect.
Much depends on what demographic you are in. An old white female living in a rural area will have a much smaller chance of being murdered then a young black male living in a city.
