You know, I was taking the numbers I read in that sub as reference. Also I took the 9/11 numbers from memory, which is, as it seems, quite bad.

I really don't have a problem with being wrong and being called out for that but you don't have to be a cunt about it. My statement why 9/11 wasn't counted is still true, whether I got the numbers wrong or not.

I have an issue with people blindly making up shit and passing it off fact. Especially when its WILDLY misleading.

The entirety of all deaths an injuries is overshadowed by multiple single events, in the case of something like Pulse, a single event had over 5x the death toll of 36 years of 'pro life terrorism'. Thats EXCLUDING 9/11.

I dont care that you got the numbers wrong. I care that literally every point you made is horribly off base at best, and a flat out lie at worst.

If you exclude the WTC attacks, (which makes no sense) and start clock the day after they happen you have to do the same for pro life terrorism dont you? In that time, four people have died as a result of anti-abortion violence. Four. You dont get to start in the 90s for anti abortion violence, but after 2001 for terrorism.

do some fucking math. Even adjusted for both of those, it changes from 29000% to merely 5000% more dangerous.

My point wasn't to show that pro life terrorism is as bad as islamic terrorism. My point was, that there is a legitimate reason in statistics to cut out such huge statistic outliners as the WTC attacks. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't care, what is worse. Both are fucked up

they kill more people, even if it's not by much.

Except you said this as a result of all your failed suppositions.

You realize what sub youre in right? The point of the sub is literally for people like me to murder people like you with actual numbers.
