I was coming in to post that.

After a brief lull in the action, Beaumont has jumped back into it with a fervor.  

Did anyone scroll to the comment? “Should have minded his own business”……unbelievable.

No slack time in Beaumont, TX!!

By the national average, Beaumont should have about 4 murders per year   I will guess that they have gone beyond the national average   

This is the hidden content, please

Not a subject you want to be an overachiever in

Location matters…

It should be obvious that murder or any crime can happen anywhere. Certainly a horrific crime can happen anywhere at any time.

But….

 The odds or frequency are sometimes heavily skewed to some locations.

The Mid-County cities of Nederland, Port Neches and Groves have a population of about 50,000 people.

Beaumont is about 2.3 times the size of Mid-County. 

According to FBI statistics, in the last 5 years Mid-County has had 6 murders. Going by size and on a 1 to 1 ratio, Beaumont should have had 14 murders in the same time period of 5 years.

Beaumont has had 79 murders in that time frame and a person has an almost 600% more likely chance of being a victim of a murder in Beaumont.

So in comparison to size, Beaumont has had an additional 65 more murders than would have occurred in Mid-County in 5 years. 

 That doesn’t mean that the people in Beaumont are bad because 113,000 people in Beaumont didn’t commit a murder last year.

Some people have a difficult time with the fact that some areas have a much higher rate of violent crime and the average person has a much higher percentage of being a victim in those areas.

 Statements like, “crime can happen anywhere” are 100% correct.

It’s also a fact that some areas have a many times higher likelihood of it happening.

I do feel bad for the good families that cannot afford to leave Beaumont for safer areas. I think the "it could happen anywhere" comments are to justify them not being able to move....

The deaths are always tragic for the family.

Is this thread just for murders? I posted it anyway. 

As far as some threads go off on a tangent, mentioning a shooting in a murder forum seems trivial at best.
