As someone who actually lives in a neighborhood that has had recent homicides, (one happened on my block) yes, that's exactly what I am saying.  Obviously it would be better if they didn't happen, but it's a reality I can certainly tolerate. I don't associate with the types of people doing the shootings, I don't participate in the drug trade, I'm not part of a crew.  My friends and neighbors nearby are not involved in violence in any way.

Sure, there's a tiny, tiny chance I could catch a stray bullet from a shooting unrelated to me or anyone I know, but because I understand probability and statistics I understand that that chance is so small that there is literally no point in thinking about it, much less being worried about it.

So yeah, while I find it unfortunate that knuckleheads nearby shoot each over over dumb reasons, I find it completely tolerable in the literal sense of "yes, this is something I can tolerate about living here."   [/quote]

The Thanksgiving turkey probably feels the same way.
