Had that other thread said: "a man was killed by a fiery helicopter crash yesterday, are you in danger?", the answer would have been, "nope".
Applying that to Cynth and Jinn's incorrect arguments, just because something happens to you does not mean it's any more likely to happen to someone else. Jinn randomly posting articles about Joe Shmo being a statistic doesn't phase me because it's still a very, very low probability of me being a victim of that crime. That's the bottom line.
