Disclaimer: I live in The Netherlands. My high-school friend was killed on holiday shortly after takeoff when a Buk 9M38 surface-to-air missile shot the plane down, killing 196 Dutch civilians. A famous crime reporter got shot in the street for covering a story about a high ranking drug lord. A news outlet got shot with a bazooka. So lets do some statistics: How many American civilians in the past 10 years have been killed with a surface-to-air-missle, adjusted for population? Zero. 196 for The Netherlands. How many crime reporters got killed in that period? Five for the US, two for The Netherlands. How many news outlets got shot with a bazooka? I can't find any, but please correct me. One in The Netherlands. The thing with statistics is. You can make up anything you want to frame a certain view.
