[Christer Holmberg <[e-mail]>]

Chicago is a big city, and the murder rate varies widely between different
areas. So, if you do your maths based on the numbers in the areas where
IETFers are likely to move around, and the kind of activities IETFers are
likely to participate in (much of the violence is related to
gang/drug-related activities), I¹m sure the result is going to be even
smallerŠ
