Just last week wasn't one of those teens who killed an old man with a orange cone released on bail??

C'mon, I've now given 3 instances of you being wrong off the top of my head. Last nights heroic chase down, me having a fuckin gun to my face, and the teen out on bond.

Stating data on gun arrests isn’t a deflection. I’d imagine there is some correlation between convictions for illegal gun possession charges and homicide rate. Admittedly, this is speculation on my part but I feel it’s just a logical explanation. I’m open to data proving I’m wrong. Anyways, In the instance what I said is accurate, a higher conviction rate would lead police to concentrate more resources to investigate less violent crime and hopefully improve upon arrests percentages.
