The Final Exam is a harsh recreation of the horrors of school shootings, and a call to do something about it.

    And in that example, people would still be foolish to panic.

    The US is a nation that covers half a continent and has a third of a billion people. The lifetime odds of getting murdered by a stranger versus literally any other way to die?

    Any person who rides in an automobile runs a greater risk of death. If you’re not clutching at your sheets in terror at the thought of getting in a car, you shouldn’t worry about getting killed by a random person.

      “shooting my gun into the air actually poses a statistically insignificant risk to the public at large, so no sane person would REALLY be worried about falling bullets.”

      Who are you to police other people’s concern anyway? I’d bet not a parent!

        Oh no, you described cause and effect! It has nothing to do with what I said, but it’s truly devastating.

        Lemmy is full of raving lunatics.
