It's a good thing we have governments and police now so such things don't happen.

Wise guy. Of course such things will happen with government...but it would happen a lot more without government.

"Wise guy. Of course such things [murder] will happen with government...but it would happen a lot more without government."

It is estimated that in the last century 170 million citizens were murdered by their own governments. ("Death by government", Rummel) Taking the century's world average population at 3 billion, which is high, that gives an estimated average annual governmental murder rate of almost 60 per 100,000. The annual(non-governmental) murder rate in the U.S. hovered around 10 per 100,000 during the century.
