re: #316 Charles

Does that look like just a few insignificant isolated incidents?

I’m not downplaying how wrong these killing or attempted killings are. But 17 in 32 years is indeed pretty insignificant I think. There have been more than 17 attempted murders by postal workers in that time range, right?

Again, it’s WRONG, period. The groups that encourage it? WRONG, period.

None the less, this is literally on the order of the number of homicidal kooks in ANY group quite possibly. I suppose you could look at the number of perps as a function of group membership and then it might look worse than average. Without “doing the math” it’s hard to tell if their rate of murder is any worse than any other interest group at random.

Not taking a side as to which is true, just saying I don’t know without seeing the numbers that go with the anecdotal evidence.
