2015 and 2016 in France averaged at over about 120 people killed in terrorist attacks per year. That's of course less than people killed in traffic, but it's still an extra threat to you that is (can be) constantly on your mind.
- zelos 9y agoThe absolute murder count in France is 10 times terrorism figure per year. The murder rate is less than a third that in the US and twice that in Germany. Are these really levels of threat that people worry about.
- taway_1212 9y agoI'm guessing a lot of murders go down among gangsters and within bad neighborhoods. Terrorism, on the other hand, deliberately targets places where middle class (and tourists) congregate.
- Boothroid 9y agoExactly, all you have to do is read about what really went down in the Bataclan, and which the French government tried to suppress. Only for those with a strong stomach.
- Boothroid 9y agoAs I've said below, do you know what really happened in the Bataclan? If so you seem remarkably blithe.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> 2015 and 2016 in France averaged at over about 120 people killed in terrorist attacks per year. In the entire rest of the 21st century (2000-14, 2017), the total was 25 killed. 1980-99 only had 86 killed. Sure, you can pick the two single worst years to try and make your case but it's intellectually dishonest.
