You're most likely to be killed by your health insurance company or by a car though

You're most likely to be killed by your health insurance company
Not if you get them first 
The best part about corporate personhood is that if your corporation is a person it can indeed be killed
I'm on my lunch and literally almost got killed by some dipshit in a prius running the light.
My friend who went to the US and lived there for three years said Americans driving is something else
I don't usually yell at people on the street but they slowed down for like half a second and I thought they noticed the cross walk sign and then just sped up anyway. I'm wearing a fucking bright neon green safety jacket and smoking a cigarette so I just yelled at the top of my lungs "WHAT THE FUCK! FUCK YOU". In that moment if I could have caught up to that person I would have probably threatened to beat their ass.

I dunno if these stats are right... How are you more likely to be killed by your wife than your husband? Domestic murder is overwhelmingly men killing women...
I may be misreading the statistics, but shouldn't "relationship of victim to offender" imply that the Wife category denotes 563 wives of killers?? I don't know if the chart got something turned around somewhere.
Ohhhh you're right. I was reading it wrong. Damn I'm not bright haha
Well you say that, but your name is Dirt_Owl not Dumb_Owl so jot that down. To quote the chart
12 people were murdered by their employer
3,527 people were killed by an acquaintance compared to 1,674 who were killed by a stranger.
so the bar titles denote the killer not the victim. I'm confused 
See this is why I hate graphs.
12 people were murdered by their employer
12 employers were murdered by their employees
That would make sense, but that's what it says verbatim
relationship of victim to offender
yes, which means the victim is (employer of) offender. the offender killed their employer.
Which makes sense, yes. I'm saying, since the start of the thread, that the chart title, the bar labels, and the text on the statista page are conflicting with each other which makes the whole thing look unprofessional.
ok nvm I see what you mean. the bottom text is wrong and should be reversed.
I did the exact same thing, and my bullshit meter went off the charts
Yeah most DV is men on women, so it's probably not right.
Searching around, I'm mostly seeing 3 Mariticides for every 4 Uxoricides, so it's a curious discrepancy. Some places have different ratios though.
They need to catch this "Unknown" guy
And because of that you’re several times more likely to be killed by someone of your own race/ethnicity than someone of a different race /ethnicity.
the "but black-on-black crime tho" argument applies 100000000000x over to mayos

Should be a tagline, just to spread the word. This is 100% unbiased fact.
you heard 'em mods
this is why you should always be more afraid of a person the closer and more intimate you are with them
My ex broke my heart, no really, she stabbed me in the heart :rodney-dangerfield:
Wimin, am I right? 
Hate my wife, 'simple as 
What I'm taking away from this is if I ever get that "do I know you...?" feeling around someone, that is my cue to cut and run.
