One out 179 Americans will eventually be murdered over the course of their lifetimes if the country’s murder rate remains at 2021 levels.

A study examining murders in 2021 based on death certificate data projects that one out 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 time frame.”

“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.

It’s close to 1 in 15 will be murdered for black men in New Orleans and probably other places.

Conversely, something close to 1 in 15 will be murderers, in those places.

If they would keep it to themselves.

There is something to be said for formal duels. Impulsecontrol is required
