That’s entirely possible. Many people are murdered because of where they are - in a very high-crime area - rather than who they are or what they are doing.
This is a statistical mistake that was described in my Statistics 101 class as, “Umbrellas in Tacoma does not mean rain in San Francisco.” Mistakes such as what Chelsea made make me wonder if she ever took ever took anything as rigorous as a simple statistic class. You would think that Stanford University’s History Department would make it mandatory that statistics would be a requirement for a degree, since historical research demands the use of statistical data.
