This is just normal people being dumb, for a lot of people they can't look beyond their own experience and think of the bigger picture.
I've had someone tell me storm warnings were dumb and should be abolished because they rode their bike to work during a storm warning. It's just a bit of rain and wind they said, it's just fear mongering, people can use their own judgement. About 20kms from where they live someone was killed due to the storm.
It takes an extraordinary false sense of intellectual superiority to willingly ignore a known lethal danger just to spite the feds. That's not normal, and it goes way beyond stupid.
"I've never been mauled to death by a bear, all these warnings are just fearmongering!"
