It feels like all modern journalism, alternative and otherwise, is full of bad statistics and worse analysis.

Case in point: "gun owners never stop mass shootings!" Yeah, because when someone stops the shooter, no mass accrues. according to one number cruncher, waiting the cops averages 14 dead, while intervening means only 2 or 3 on average, with a slight edge to armed victims shooting back, but still not bad for unarmed victims.
