Actually, there isn't much either way on what is true or not in that snopes accounting. There are some accurate numbers, and facts. There are some in contention, and supposedly there are debunked items. Note though, that the parts in question come from an unauthenticated email from a guy who claims to have spoken with another guy.

It doesn't lend much strength to debunking anything. Also, there is no raw data provided from a trusted source (refering to the murder rates number) for either arguement.

I am not advocating the validity of the piece or it's detractor. I am just saying that the email from a guy does little to proove or disproove the supposed internet legend. Snopes is usually more thorough.
