ok so there's these people...
and they are in prison awaiting the death penalty and they filed a suit to say that the lethal injection is inhumane and cruel ? then I hear a spokesman say that the "SEDATIVE" given puts the intended into a state of sleep...and that at the time of the lethal injection....that the intended could "FEEL PAIN" but NOT be able to "SCREAM" ????? and they know this by what ???? HOW ??????? a "DREAM" told them or a visit from the dead ???? or they are just using this as a "STALL" tactic ???? YES I DO BELIEVE A STALL TACTIC .....

A German lawyer, in response to another blog entry (German Justice: 2 Days Per Murder), repeated the common European belief that the United States has a much higher crime rate than major European countries. The facts are quite different...
[UPDATE 8/15/2003 - For sources, see end of article]
[Warning: this article is politically incorrect. If you are likely to be offended by this, you need to read it!]
Here are Interpol 2001 crime statistics (rate per 100,000):
4161 - US
7736 - Germany
6941 - France
9927 - England and Wales
Thus the US has a substantially lower crime rate than the major European countries!
Here are the Interpol 1995 crime statistics (rate per 100,000):
5278 - US
8179 - Germany
6316 - France
7206 - England & Wales
Hence the trend in the US is towards a lower crime rate, while the trend in Europe (except Germany) is towards an increasing crime rate.
It is true that we (USA) have a high murder rate, mostly of criminals killing criminals, but a distressingly large number of people killing their spouses in anger, and the rate of "stranger killings" is rising.
However, the homicide rates have been dropping dramatically as we have been increasing penalties:
Homicide Rate/100,000 by Date in US:
1980 - 10.2
2000 - 5.5
Also, our murder rate is high largely due to the multicultural nature of our society. Inner city blacks, members of a distinct subculture, have a vastly higher criminal and victim homicide rate than our society as an average:
Homicide Offender Rate/100,000 by Race in US (2000):
3.4 - White
25.8 - Black
3.2 - Other
It is often hypothesized that blacks are overrepresented in murder statistics due to racism on the part of police and the justice system. If this were true, one would expect that the race of victims would have significantly different distribution than the race of the perpetrators, but this is not the case:
Homicide Victim Rate/100,000 by Race in US (2000):
3.3 - White
20.5 - Black
2.7 - Other
Thus if you remove homicides committed by blacks (total: 21862, Blacks:9316), and assume a proportionality between number of offenders and number of offenses, you can extrapolate US homicide offender rate of only 2.6/100,000, lower than Germany (3.27) and France (3.91).
