Did the people killed at Target today make bad choices? Because if we're talking about reality, then the reality of the situation is that "bad choices" or "good choices" don't matter.
This is reality.
What do their choices have to do with your choices?
Those two things are entirely independent.
Someone else won the lottery today, does that mean you should rush out and buy a ticket?
No, because what happened to them isn't likely to happen to you.
Just to add to the statistics, many thousands of Americans win more than a million dollars every year on the lottery.
You're still feeling rather than thinking. It's no skin off my nose if you choose to live a shitty life because you cant properly assess risk,. Good luck, but you're probably going to die of a heart attack. Maybe you should worry about that instead.
Question though, you mentioned you lived near that incident at 22nd and Pearl, but this incident happened over 5 miles north of there. There are 4 other Targets that are closer to that spot than the one where this incident happened. What makes you feel like this is happening in your immediate area?
