Semi-related cartoon.
Forbes.com has compiled a list of the Most Murderous Cities in America.
At the top is Detroit, Michigan which had more homicides than San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas and San Jose combined.
At the bottom? It's Plano, Texas, which had only four murders in 2006 (a rate of 1.6 murders per 100,000 residents).

Low on total murders, high on moms finding horrible ways to kill their children.
