Call it disrespectful if you wish, but the OP made a big deal about statistics and science being the only thing he cares about and statistics don't really give a crap about being respectful or emotionally charged. The point is that less than 30 deaths in a population of 320 million a year is not really significant statistically in the grand scheme of things. Overly emotional anecdotes about Pits from both sides are a waste of time and energy.
