Does anyone think that after this incident that dentists will be disliked as much as lawyers?
Only by dumb people I guess.
BLS reports that in 2012 there were about 146,800 dentists in the US.
The news is reporting that there was 1 dentist/poacher.
Why would anyone make an opinion on a population based on 0.0000068 sample?
We may dislike this specific dentist/poacher, but why would what this one person did affect how we would perceive everyone else in his profession that is not a Poacher?
This jerk shot the lion not because he was a dentist, but because he was a poacher. Hate him because he is a scumbag poacher, not because he is a dentist.
