Reply to comment by sellingCACforCock in NYC Traffic Deaths In 2022 Surpass Shooting Deaths. by ER301

I didn’t change the title of the article, I wrote an original title for the thread I created. Is my title inaccurate?

You yourself noted there were 247 traffic deaths and 246 shooting deaths. So how is my title inaccurate?

I mean saying “near equal” won’t get you the upvotes/affirmation you want so I can see why you intentionally worded it the way you did
