GENEVA — The United States leads the world in economic loss from deaths caused by armed crime, according to a global survey released Friday.
The U.S. registered an estimated loss of up to $45.1 billion in terms of economic productivity because of violent crimes, said the report by the U.N. Development Program and the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey.
At least 490,000 people are killed in armed crimes each year worldwide, placing a huge economic cost and social burden on nations, the report said.
I wonder how many of these unfortunate deaths, (in the U.S.) are caused by soft headed judges, who are attorneys, as a friend points out, (he shares a despise for “shysters” with me) and idiot attorneys defending them pleading them to lesser crimes?
Of course these poor misunderstood parasites of society typically have RAP sheets, that far exceed the volume of documents, in the Library of Congress.
