1. were there that many?

If that one welder guy was the only sex offender, and was about .1%, that would mean there were 1000 people up there. I like the graphic, but I think the math is off.

Could the image creator have forgotten to multiply by 100 to switch from decimal part to percent? 8% seems more likely, if the welder was 1 in 12 and not 1 in 1200.

2. That's not 8% shown on the graph, it's 0.08%.

5. Wha?

What graph?

The way I'm reading it: The graphic says .08%, but it's referring to the people onstage with walker at the SotS speech, right? And one of them was on the sex offender registry? If that's where the percentage comes from, then .08% doesn't seem like the right math--there'd have to be 1200 people on stage with him for one person to only make up .08%. If there were 12 people up on stage, then one person would make up 8%, not .08%. (approx.)

Am I missing something? (And I may easily be!) Let me know!

6. On further review, you're correct ...

7. Not in a million years!

No way scuba! If you're a dumbass, then what am I, who've been admiring your posts for years now? An aspiring dumbass?

3. Walker shared the stage?!!!

That is the closest he has come to anyone who works for a living since he got kicked out of Marquette.
