If you suffer from irrational fears which lead you to order shite from amazon because 6 people out of millions have been murdered near a shopping mall you are pitiful. If you order shite from Amazon because it is more convenient I feel you...but because you are scared of the mall??? That is truly pitiful...



I guess I don't understand why you are so hung up on percentages as it relates to people being killed in a public space where killings are not to be expected.

If only 100 people went to the mall and 6 were killed that'd be a major issue for you, but if 100,000 people went to the mall it's no biggie? The big picture here is 6 people were killed at the mall.

and waht you conveniently ignore is the type of people that go go that mall and the kidn of people pulling out their piece doing the shooting. It doesn't matter if there are 100 or 100K people at the mall, those shootings happened by a particular kind of person and that particualr kind of person is going ot be at the mall every day.

Call me crazy, but I don't think wondering "hmmm, there's been a half dozen murders at Lenox the last 6 months. Maybe I should do my shopping elsewhere" is the least bit pitiful. At all.

No my friend, if 10 million people go to a mall and one is murdered it is an issue for me. It would not keep me from going to that mall if I had a compelling reason to do so.

If 10 people go into a mall and 10 are murdered I am not going to be #11. There is no compelling reason I can think of to do so. If my Daughter is in that mall I have to assume she is either dead or a murderer...either way my going in is not going to help the situation.

If, however, a million go into that mall and 6 are murdered and I have a compelling reason to go into that mall I am not going to not do so because 6 people were murdered there because logically I am going to be pretty safe from being murdered at that mall. Could it happen? Absolutely. Is it likely? Not at all.
