1. Interesting we’re currently on the upturn for labor and economic violence; perhaps a reaction to the global financial meltdown? Most likely…

2. I can’t believe I’m the first person to note:
   200 observations yield 3 peaks. And this is a) surprising, b) evidence of a trend?

8. I wonder if this relationship would hold at all if they looked at the number of injuries or deaths from violent events, rather than a count of the events, and/or if you normalized them by population. Ie, it seems odd to me that the American Civil War, in which a huge fraction of the American population was killed, gets a peak about the same size as the violence in the 1920s!

   Also, I bet whoever made the graph is kicking themselves for the “Viligante” typo now that it’s gone viral. Heh.
