189998, keep it real: 3000 ppl dead is not a lot of ppl.

look at how many ppl are in this country.

look at how many of them have lived and died without being killed or hurt by a terrorists.

3000 ppl dying of terrorism is a tragedy, but this is an exceptionally safe country.



similarly, the vast majority of Black ppl's interaction with police go fine.

maybe you get a ticket.
maybe you get a warning.
maybe they walk by you and say nothing at all.

that happens a lot.


every Black person murdered by polie is a tragedy, but we still live in a safe country.



but- from a psychological perspective- it's a mindfuck.


will THAT muslim hijack the plane?

will THAT cop shoot me dead?

sure, the last 100 times a cop walked by me things went fine.
but you never know. because, terrorism.



why do you think ppl use guerilla warfare tactics?

maybe because they work?

it's an excellent way to keep folks in line.

that's human nature.
we can change our reaction,
but irrational fear is a natural reaction.

are you still going to pretend that irrational fear is not a natural reaction to a fucked up event?

why are you framing the post this way?


>than a plan being hijacked and killing 3,000 people.
