Not quite. An example of a syllogism, would be "All virtues are praiseworthy. Patience is a virtue. Therefore patience is a virtue.".

That's not the same as saying you are a foamer and love farecards, so, therefore, foamers in general love farecards.

The position was the subways are "safe".

It also says that people have been lulled into a false sense of security, and have become unaware of their surroundings, hence the high percentage of cell phone thefts within all crimes.

That part is what you missed.

Yes, they are safe, relative to any logical metric. There is no false sense of security. The same precautions you'd use anywhere else "safe" should be used on the subway. People should be, and are, told that. We can't help idiots or the ignorant though. That's not our problem.

I missed nothing. Percentages mean nothing. Even raw numbers mean nothing. What matters are RATES and howntjeubstsck up RELATOVE TO LOGICAL METRICS.

Murders are up 5 percent so far this year.
Rapes and robberies are also running higher.
Burglary, grand larceny, car theft and felony assault are down.
Overall crime is running 4 percent lower than 2014.
Shootings are about even with what occurred over the same period last year.

Statistics on crime do not necessarily reflect how people feel. Someone may be quite comfortable walking down a street where they have a much better chance of being robbed than riding a subway train. Familiarity with ones surroundings, and the confinement one feels underground play into it. Phones are often an easy target because people have them out and fixate on them, and people who don't mind contributing to crime are willing to buy them to save some money. Just like high end add-on audio used to be in cars. The more Cell and Wi-Fi equipped the system gets, the more people will have their phones out.
If nobody bought stolen property, how much stuff would actually get stolen.

This: "Smartphones are a significant part of subway felonies, and I do not intend to be a part of it."

You have no idea what you are talking about. You don't know how many felonies there are to begin with, so you don't know how many a significant amount is. And even if you did know that, you don't know the rates of smartphone theft per 1,000 riders or how it compares to the rates of smartphone theft per capita outside on the streets or in other public areas. That makes you PARANOID. You're afraid for no good reason.
