| Jul 23, 2016 at 15:55 | comment | added | jpmc26 | I'm pretty sure that Cort doesn't want to get into the issue of trying to size up these numbers. It was just one example with a couple different perspectives to show how much effort we spend analyzing the numbers. Trying to add more analysis is really off-topic here, although it does confirm Cort's point. Good answer. | |

| Jul 22, 2016 at 23:20 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | To add some actual numbers to @molborg's comment, it's actually 28 who died in a car accident, and just shy of 9 of them were drunk driving fatalities. | |
| Jul 22, 2016 at 23:10 | comment | added | MolbOrg | @njzk2 or someone you heard of. yeah, and probably, in most cases, you will wonder why did't that happened earlier with that person, if everything ok with police in your town. For one of those, you know 20 who died because of car crash, some from age, some from drinking and swimming, some are Darwin nominee, etc. Death is around us every day. | |
| Jul 22, 2016 at 23:02 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @njzk2 I knew it would be challenging to use that as an example. Note that number includes the justified cases too, such as those who pulled a gun on the cop. It's hard to draw the line between justified and not, since not everyone agrees the legal definition is the right line, so I lumped them together | |
