Nice slur work and delegitimizing of other's concerns based on arbitrary dividing factors, but if you've got a shooting next to your window, the fact that 100000 people also got a shooting under their window and so per-capita shooting rate is just 1/100000 is not really helpful for you. It's the same fallacy as "Bill Gates walks into a bar and average income of all bar patrons triples", only in reverse - the fact that you and Bill Gates on average earn billions does not help you, because you get none of those billions, and the fact is that a lot of people share crime-infested streets with you doesn't make your suffering from the crime infestation any less. It's just using statistics to dismiss concerns which you don't want to seriously consider.
