AFRICANS - WTF is wrong with these animals?

As of New Year's Eve, the city's murder total sat at 209, making it again a top contender for the country's highest per-capita murder rate, a dubious title New Orleans held in 2006....Compared with the nine other cities with the highest per-capita murder rates last year, New Orleans remains at or near the highest rate in 2007. For instance, Detroit and Baltimore are estimated to have about 47 and 45 murders, respectively, for every 100,000 people. Only Gary, Ind., a small city with a population of less than 100,000, might end up with a higher per-capita murder rate than New Orleans. Gary, according to murder statistics provided by its police department late last week, expects a murder rate of about 68 murders per 100,000 people, a figure in the middle of the range of estimates for the New Orleans rate.
