I mean, to be honest your explanation did seem deliberately obfuscatory of the actual process. I guess it's so graphic and shocking that you feel inclined to use the word "indulged" to mean 'removed from mother immediately and then forcibly impregnated to continue the cycle of graphic and shocking practices'.

Can you accurately describe it in a way that's not graphic and shocking without leaving major steps out?

I haven’t assumed anything. Brushing it off as a statistic anomaly is lazy, as well as avoiding my questions. Your analogy is poor as it uses value rather than occurrences. A better, albeit still shitty one, is finding a dollar in the ground and then finding 5 separate dollars on the ground the next day. It’s still a bad comparison as a lot less goes into someone dropping money than murder. If there were 100 murders last year, saying “let’s see if there are 100 murders next year to know if something is different here” I think we can agree would be quite moronic.

Hypothetically- On Monday you find a dollar on the ground. Tuesday you find nothing. Wednesday you find a dollar. Thursday you find nothing. Friday you find nothing. Saturday you find a twenty.

What’s the likely outcome for Sunday? It’s entirely possible that every day after you find a twenty, but the data you have suggests that MOST LIKELY you find nothing, and that Saturday was a statistical anomaly.

You can’t assume the worst, because of hypotheticals. You have to use the actual data available at the moment, and adjust when new data becomes available.

Burlington is already trying to pass some gun free zone bullshit which will accomplish nothing because criminals don’t heed no gun signs. I do they’re rare in the state but the few times a business has had a sign I didn’t go in if I was carrying. Likewise I wouldn’t carry on to somebody’s bro, I respect property rights. Criminals obviously do not and it’s not like people are getting prosecuted for crimes.
