[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3499314, member: 5800"] So back on an actual computer this morning, it looks like your image comes from here: [URL]https://oregoncatalyst.com/48185-100-arson-attacks-portland-10days.html[/URL] Which aside from the grammatical errors I'd expect more in our posts than a "news" site leaves off several key things to understanding the chart. For instance would be "What was on fire?" Was it a trash can, dumpster, car, residence, apartment building, skyscraper? How many of these fires required the fire department? Were these confirmed by an authority like the fire department or were these reports? Are some of these duplicate reports? What did the rest of the city look like? For instance here is a map of the area with the area from the picture highlighted: [ATTACH=full]188316[/ATTACH] I genuinely don't know the answer to the what did the rest of the city look like. And that's one of the problems with that image --- that leaves all context out and ability to understand it out. Look, I'm not saying that setting fires an endangering lives is a good thing by any means, but I'm also of the opinion that no matter how impressive a chart looks, you have to be getting good data with context. Because were those 100 houses, then it's a lot different than 100 trash cans. (Unless you are named Oscar). [/QUOTE]
