actual facts, and I am not offended by them. And you are right, males are by far more prone to violent behavior, it is an unfortunate part of our biological makeup. But when you mix that with other environmental factors, some seem unable to keep their lizard brain in check. Look no further than the prisons. The population there is a direct reflection of who is committing the crimes.
