62. Easy
the respondent had to have actually seen the assailant;

Easy. The lie sounds much better when you say you saw the "assailaint."

the respondent had to be able to articulate what offense the assailant was attempting to commit;

Easy. Robbery. Home invasion. Assault.

the respondent needed, at the very least, to have displayed a firearm or made verbal reference to the fact he had it on him.

Easy. I mean this goes without saying. If you're claiming a DGU, of course you're going to reference a gun.

Any survey based on a sample of the population is going to have a margin of error

A margin of error that's over 1/3 of the total number claimed? A margin of error OVER A MILLION?

But it's revealing how you assume that only K&G could be inaccurate.

Actually, I've said several times that there isn't any way to accurately judge how many DGU's happen in a given time period. I don't cite the NCVS number or the C&L number because (unlike some folks) I don't like using bullshit numbers to support my point of view.

Jesus Quintana: You ready to be fucked, man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna fuck you up.
The Dude: Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Jesus Quintana: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."
The Dude: Jesus.
Jesus Quintana: You said it, man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
Walter Sobchak: Eight-year-olds, Dude.
