The following maps were compiled from 2007 homicide statistics in Baltimore, Maryland, by the Baltimore Sun.  The Baltimore Sun is a very anti-gun newspaper and has repleatedly called for more gun control on the citizens of the state and the City of Baltimore.  However, the maps show something that the gun-grabbing folks at the paper never intended: the demographics of the crimes and the victims. 

 

Here's how to interpret the colored dots representing the homicides:

1.  Blue -- strangulation or choking.

2.  Green -- blunt force trauma (beating).

3.  Red -- shooting.

4.  Black -- stabbing.

5.  White -- undetermined.

The 2007 population distribution, Baltimore Metro Area: 2.7million.  Whites: 1.853 million.  Blacks: 0.847 million.
