Almost as nasty as fentanyl.

Question;"will anyone truly be missed by society as a whole"?

Nation Celebrates Full Week Without Deadly Mass Shooting

Cheers filled the streets and American flags waved triumphantly through the air today as the nation turned out in full force to celebrate an entire week having passed since the last time a madman opened fire on innocent civilians in some kind of fatal mass shooting. “We did it, folks! We banded together and managed to go seven whole days without killing our fellow Americans in a senseless murdering spree!” Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said in a speech to jubilant throngs gathered in Times Square. “Yes, some people were shot this week, but not in a random, highly public, viscerally disturbing way and—most importantly—not all in one place, by one psychopath. Maybe one day we can live in a society where abominable large-scale gun violence stays out of the national headlines for a whole month even!” At press time, federal authorities had issued a reminder to all Americans that a lot can happen in 24 hours, “so let’s not get too excited yet.”

Trona, which is slightly bigger than Chicago, had 69 murders last year, which was way up from the previous year's number.

Averages go by incidents per 100K.

Toronto’s overall crime score ranking is No. 52
