Professional poker player Vanessa Selbst wants you people to get over the whole terrorism thing:
Stop talking about terrorism, it really isn't a big deal vis a vis actual threats to humans. (Gonna catch some flack for this) #NYCStrong

Did she compare notes with journalist Isaac Stone Fish, who said people shouldn’t “overreact to a small terrorist attack” “because it’s not that important”?
Should we ignore all statistically improbable events that result in loss of human life? Or is your stance related to just terrorism deaths?

I think the media should avoid sensationalizing all statistically improbably events that result in the loss of a few human lives.

Just a few human lives, you guys. No biggie.
Why don't you go tell the parents and children who will never see their loved ones again how insignificant their dearhs were

When they attack you or your family or a close friend and kill them, then tell us how it’s okay and not a threat!

"Isn't a big deal" – go tell that to the families!
— Jason Westall (@jasonwestall) November 2, 2017
It isn’t a big deal?????? Tell that to the 8 families who lost loved ones.

Count Benghazi hero Kris Paronto among those giving Vanessa “some flack”. And boy, did he give it to her:
