Recordings of the Sounds Heard In the Cuban US Embassy Attacks Released (apnews.com)
New submitter chrissfoot shares a report from The Associated Press: The Associated Press has obtained a recording of what some U.S. Embassy workers heard in Havana in a series of unnerving incidents later deemed to be deliberate attacks. The recording, released Thursday by the AP, is the first disseminated publicly of the many taken in Cuba of mysterious sounds that led investigators initially to suspect a sonic weapon. The recordings themselves are not believed to be dangerous to those who listen. Sound experts and physicians say they know of no sound that can cause physical damage when played for short durations at normal levels through standard equipment like a cellphone or computer. What device produced the original sound remains unknown. Americans affected in Havana reported the sounds hit them at extreme volumes. You can listen to the "Dangerous Sound" here via YouTube.
Given that Canada doesn't track racial statistics as they relate to crime very well (or at all in many cases), I'm going to have to see a citation for that.
Canada does, it's just suppressed by organizations because of political correctness. That's why we have things like the Gladue report, if you want the reports for Toronto you have to call them up and ask for the non-annualized statistics. Or you can simply pay attention to the media, which paint a picture of what's happening too.
Om, nomnomnom...
Politifact is a blatantly biased organization at this point and a shill for the alt left fascist progressives.
Americans killed by guns in recorded history: 0
Americans murdered by other people with guns in 2012: 60% of all US homicides or about 8300 or about 0.0036% of the population.

If you remove young black males, who make up less than 4% of the US population, that number is cut in half to 4150... and puts the US per capita murder rate roughly on par with European countries. On a side note, concealed carry warning and brandishing probably stops that many robberies, rapes and murders in a week... (There are about 16,000,000 concealed carry permits in the US right now).

Clearly guns are not that big a threat unless you are an alt left fascist progressive looking to dominate and subjugate the American people. Every dictator in the last 100 years from Stalin to Mao on down the line disarmed their people first and then murdered millions of them. Guns are in fact inanimate objects controlled by their wielder, which is why every LEO in the country carries one. Any group that uses "gun deaths" are political shills with no interest in truth. Gun deaths usually include suicides (who just use different methods in gun free countries), criminals shot by police or citizens, and other justified shootings that are actually a good thing for society and end up saving lives.
