Respectfully you are sort of blanket stating stuff. While years ago yes most fokks were familiar with their attackers that’s drooling. Especially with the increase I. Foreign nationals doing things and the majority of their victims are wrong okacement wrong tjme.
The problem with quoting just the FBI stats is not every jurisdiction (a lot of them) report crimes and numbers to the FBI so that will affect the real numbers.
So sometimes the numbers need a more deep dive with places like BIJ, John Lotts organization and such
While I get your point, it isn't just the FBI stats. DOJ and other repected sources concur - for violent crimes of all types, most victims know or know of (go to work or school with, or live beside) their attackers. There ARE a lot of increases in violence due to foreign nationals and yes many law enforcement agencies are not necessarily sharing all their data. I have seen Dr Lott's and others data as well. A person is likely to be attacked by an acquaintance or neighbor rather than a complete stranger. Facts are stubborn things.

My point is the numbers are dropping in pretty substantial
Numbers of attackers knowing. knowing (and the data confirms this)
While yes a lot of inter city gamg affiliated stuff is like Mookie that knocked over the gas station probably knows the Clerk or somebody the clerk is related to and that whole 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon with criminals
However there is a rise in the number of cases where it is a random act. Look no further the. Seattle, NYC LA and etc with the huge rise in cases the last decades of random mattacks by either peiple having mental issues or fueled in narcotics (and some mental issues by years of narcotics) or the rise in illegal immigrant violence.
Another examine that had changed over the last 30 years is females that committed suicide. Years ago you almost never heard about one using a firearm (many mental health professionals use to say because women cared more about their looks, at least what trickled down to us in various PD’s)
But the last 15 or 20 years there is a huge lease of women doing it with firearm to the head/face area.

Those people aren't nearly as bad as the reverse .
Anyone who doesn't apendix carry is an idiot . If they care about bleeding out in 10 seconds , or being emasculated , they're just stupid and incompetent , and laking the Elite Skills of the AIWB advocates .
