A better way to use the double negative is:
These those don’t happen for no reason.
You should have a specific reason for using a double negative, for example negating a negative that was recently said. Otherwise just use the first statement.

The have the same but the 2nd one use a "double negative", making it sound repetitive and a little confusing. The 1st example is much clearer for the message you're trying to convey.
