I am specifically talking about the way they presented chances of being killed by a foreigner vs by a refugee. They did not account for different numbers of all foreigners vs all refugees.
Of course refugee chances are much lower because there are way less refugees than all foreigners.
It is one of the 2:
1. They specifically did it to push their false narrative.
2. They are that stupid and think it is the correct way to present chances.
I anticipate there will be some less intelligent who do not grasp what I am saying, so I illustrate my point.
Take cancer and ebola.
There is 1 in lets say hundreds of thousands (or whatever) chance of you being killed by cancer.
There is 1 in lets say tens or hundreds of millions (or whatever) chance of you being killed by ebola.
But which would you prefer - cancer or ebola? You see how this is completely ridiculous way to present stats?
You need to account for the different number of cases.
So the correct way would be to do "per capita" comparison.
