      outside of NO, the region is reletively low on education, poverty ridden and low opportunity. its the trio that makes high homicide rate.

      Corruption, poor education, overpowered oil/gas lobby, for-profit prison system that encourages recidivism

      And that’s just scratching the surface

        I remember reading something while ago that did link high temperatures with higher rates of things like violence. Essentially, being hot all the damn time makes everyone’s baseline level of irritability higher and so things escalate more often. Seems a bit counter-intuitive though if we all came from Africa so I’m not sure how true it ultimately is.

          In Europe the stereotype is definitely that “blood gets warmer” the more south you go. It certainly holds a bit of truth in my experience, the attitudes in Marseille or Rome are much more spicy than in Berlin, Amsterdam etc.

      Must be the Mississipi River. It just gets redder as you go down from Minnesota to Louisiana.
