Still, it sounds quite logical and pulling this answer out of the MSM reports suggests it is, in fact, the only analysis that counts ~ since this is the only set of circumstances too complex for the 'newsies' to distort prior to analysis.

A few weeks back we had a discussion of a road rage incident where a woman pulled off the road and the guy didn't give up so she shot him through the window. Several reasons for her doing that, one of which was 'fear' ~ but how often does that happen where a strange man comes knocking on a car window and it doesn't end up in a shooting?

Two ways to do that ~ man knocks on window shoots woman or man knocks on window woman shoots ~ incredibly the second version where he knocks and she shoots shows 39 million google entries. The first version where he knocks and then shoots her shows a mere 21 million entries.

holy smolly

It's pretty clear that if you find yourself knocking on the window of a car and there's a woman in there you have double the chance of her shooting you than of you shooting her.

So, how much fear is there in that?

I'm sure the analyst who wrote the lead piece could do quite a job on this issue just like he did on the question of cops stopping serious rampages.
