That's not what the the post I quoted and responded too.

If the post is about increased violence then the claim about murders isn't needed either.

I'd have to do more research into that, different, question since I didn't comment on it at all yet.  Are acid attacks "more prevalent", for example.

A knee jerk reaction would be more people in the same space = more chance for violence.  Like any large city versus small town.  But that is just an educated guess.
