Well...not really. I believe there is only one known case of a meteor striking a person -- and she survived. But hyperbole aside, your point is well-taken. In this last two weeks or however long this lunatic has been murdering people, how many in DC have been killed in drug transactions? How many have died in automobile accidents? The fear of the masses, though understandable, is based in what Marc would call "innumeracy".
