Wtf? -- Does your state have a homicide map by google?
I didn't even know this existed!! I just found it today...

gheeze...

It's gotten so bad and there are so many now, that we have to map out all the killings just to keep track!?! :wtf:

:(

Yikes! Check it out. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2008_murders_in_boston/">Homicides in Boston during 2008

The first one on the list was killed in the same area as my grandfathers old house, where I was born.
It was sold years ago though.

6. The LA Times posts a very comprehensive map & list similar to this . . .
with breakdowns for causes, gender, race, day of the week, etc., including information about domestic incidence and killings by police.

See all 429 murders (to date) here:

8. NY Times did one, but they haven't bothered to update it.
It only goes up to 2005. It's still interesting to look at, though.
