  1. Hey guys, could you possibly show a graph or two of the victims’ race and sex? I think it is important to note that the overwhelming majority of the victims are black males, and that the conversation of race and poverty in RVA needs to be included in this dialogue.

  2. @Sara — We actually don’t have race information! The police don’t give that to us, and we are definitely not going to attempt guesses. Sex is a good idea though!

    @Susan fair enough, thanks! I’m sure the RPD has this info, interesting that they don’t provide..?
