Do you want a disclaimer included with every story you read to point out that the majority of people are actually fine? This story doesn't imply that any metal fans are violent or Satan worshippers! You're imagining that it does!
You want everything to read like this?
"Michael Donovan was today found guilty of kidnapping Shannon Matthews, but please remember that the majority of men aren't kidnappers."
"Vinnie Jones today punched a man in the head, but at the same time, 5,000 ex-footballers DIDN'T punch men in the head."
"Amy Winehouse took loads of drugs and attacked a photographer today, but Duffy, Dido, Katie Melua and Kylie Minogue didn't because they aren't the same as Amy Winehouse."
