So I have trouble understanding how one can feel VERY SAFE.
Perhaps safety in numbers?

Think of how many people pass through there. 9 is infinitesimal.
I'd roughly estimate there's an average of 50,000 people a day passing through the Market area (including multiple counts of people passing through multiple times). That comes out to 800,000 people between Feb 2 and Feb 18. And 9 assaults? That means 9/800000 people got assaulted. That's a 0.001125% chance of getting assaulted, or about 1 in 90,000.
That's hardly a high enough chance for anyone to feel threatened.
