    Oh, yes, 1 in 400 is still the wrong proportion, but I guess you can’t say a quarter of a person is shot every 8 months or whatever it would be, if you’re just trying to make a quick and concise point.

      Then why choose 400 people, or why include the shooting stat once they went with 400? The number would very much round down to zero, and the post says at least 1 person per day which means that’s the lower bound

        How would I know? I didn’t make the post. What if they based it off of a very specific day where a lot of people got shot?
