In America, you gotta worry about a nigga with a gun. In Europe, you gotta worry about a poor refugee with nothing to lose. I will take my chances with the niggas!
This would be the stupidest bet of all time. There's been, roughly, 80 deaths by Islamic terrorists in the U.K. in the past 20 years.
We have over 40 murders a day in the US 365 days a year. 80 a day during the worst years.
Fear of an Islamic terror group ever getting hold of a WMD is a rational concern, but fear of getting killed by refugees with nothing to lose is akin to having watched Jaws and never entering the ocean again. It's purely irrational.
It's horrible if you hit the anti-lotto and happen to lose your life or someone you love, but you're highly unlikely to ever even meet a person who knows someone killed by a refugee Islamic terrorist. Worry about your blood pressure, resting heartbeat, blood sugar, circumference of your waist. That shit will likely kill you.
That's not a defense of these Stone Age barbarians. It's a defense of logic, reason, and simple probability.
