You remind me of one of those socialists who like to throw the term "scientific" around to impress the sheeple. How are stats combining threats made and threats carried out (to show how dangerous something is outside of simple accidents) specifically unscientific?

And you remind me of one of those people who resort to personal attacks when they lose an argument.

The scientific survey you reference lumps threats and homicides together. If you know of a way to objectively compare that with the Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers which only address occupational fatalities, please enlighten me.

Your stats compare apples to apples (workplace deaths vs workplace deaths), mine compare oranges to oranges (threats of violence and violence, vs. threats of violence and violence). Its not a matter of choosing between your stats and my stats (or comparing apples to oranges), the two sets of stats compliment each other.
