Topic	Is it really more dangerous to ride the NYC subway system than it's ever been?
ClayGuida 03/16/24 12:26:17 PM #35:	clyde_frog posted... Think of it this way. Multiple, perhaps dozens of assaults/ violent crimes take place on NYC subways each day. Even if you are not a victim yourself, theres a significant chance you will witness one of these crimes. Its not even close to lottery odds territory. Im pulling numbers out of my ass here, but Im willing to bet the odds of witnessing or being victimized by crime each day on the NYC subway is closer to 1 in 10,000 than it is 1 in 4 million. Sure, change the parameters and things change, obviously. The point is, fear mongering about how dangerous subways are, then cite statistics where there's fewer than 300 violent attacks, or 500 altercations a year and it's astonishingly low. I guarantee a season of football at any stadium gets just as many incidents as this, and that's 10-12 events a year. The point is, when this many people are this densely packed, shits gonna happen, but these numbers are startlingly low, considering there's now a half dozen posters claiming it's incredibly dangerous to ride one. In short stop fear mongering this bullshit. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:979399968] in Is it real... [t:80722694]...</cite> <quote>clyde_frog posted... </cite><quote>Think of it this way.
