Like I am going to trust these so-called "experts" I am going to go outside even harder now.

Real talk: you're not going to get shot by this guy even if you go outside so yeah your point is well made: experts don't have to be given any kind of credence.

Edit he was already in custody when this guy made this comment so it just goes to illustrate my point all the better lol

Of course the chances of getting shot are about as slim as getting struck by lightning while riding a bus driven by a shark. I imagine the request to remain indoors is likely more of a “the fewer people about the fewer people the police have to cordon/search/direct away” situations. The police were likely not worried about more victims but more chaos. And let’s be frank, if they’d reported a 3 mile grid where it was at that exact moment, there’s a fair few people who WOULD go directly there, either out of a desire to be in the action, or more likely, simply out of a morbid curiosity.
