    well that’s great for this one person but this is just an anecdote, and not reliable data. we need more data points to create a large enough sample size so we can refer to more reliable statistics. i wonder how we could get that.

      Trading one horrible motherfucker for even one of his potential victims is absolutely enough for me. I don’t need further statistics.

      That’s just responsible statistical analysis, any good scientist will tell you there should be several tests for a proper experiment.

        not hard data but there were definitely news reports of denial rates tanking in the days following the killing.

          There were definitely a couple of opinion articles among fringe news networks, but without evidence it isn’t really news is it?
