Why would anybody post something like this?
This is generally referred to as fear mongering and/or cherry picking.
Roughly one person per year dies in the region of Toronto Canada from tornadoes hitting them. So if I went around Toronto showing bodies of people who have been smashed by trees, and thrown through windows, and had their houses collapsed on top of them; all the while screaming about the dangers of tornadoes!! (all while selling tornado insurance on the side

I would be fear mongering. Trying to drum up support for my claim by showing the extremely rare and unlikely possibility of what I want people to pay the most attention to. Yet it is almost impossible for what I’m warning about to actually happen.
Study after study after study have shown that illegal immigrants in the United States from Mexico have a lower risk of committing violent crime than native born non-Mexican American citizens. It reminds me of that interesting question, “would you rather meet a bear or a man in the woods?”
I would ask, would you rather meet an American born American citizen in the woods, or an illegal immigrant from Mexico?
If you actually knew the statistics, you would not buy tornado insurance in Ontario Canada, and you would know that you’re safer in the woods with the illegal immigrant from Mexico.
But if you had been tricked by fear mongers, then you would think the good “ol American boy is your safer choice.
