What you get when the cops are armed to the teeth as are the criminals, meanwhile the disarmed public at large are now just victims in waiting.

 

[Psalm7]

Todays street gangs do not operate like they use to . Rather than hang out and look for a victim they run like a business or the mafia . Preying on the rest of society .

'Although we consider ourselves to have some of the tightest gun controls laws in the world, they're easy to get hold of.
'There is a push and a pull effect – as soon as you make it illegal you create a black market.
'Rogue dealers are supplying and distributing guns to gangland bosses and they are then used in hits.'

I see no problem. A certain element of of society are slowly reducing their own numbers. I call that a win.

This made me laugh though.....

"The recent spate of violence has prompted scrutiny of a sharp reduction in stop and search activity, with use of the powers at the lowest level since current data records started 17 years ago.

Stop and search has repeatedly attracted controversy, with criticism focusing mainly on the number of stops of black and minority ethnic individuals."

So basically, that reinforces the the fact that stop and search worked to reduce crime and violence among the black community.

I remember the black community up in arms about how stop and search impinged on their human rights. Well, looks like they are reaping the rewards of the back down by the Police forced by their complaints.

Just like the Baltimore MD Police backed off of patrols and investagations in certain parts of that City after the Mayor sided with the rioters and the Police were blamed for the whole mess . Now its not safe for its Citizens to step outside .

Funny, that as many times as History tries to teach us this lesson, we still continue to ignore it....time and time again.

Another stabbing in broad daylight at 1PM London time, Some countries are now issuing travel advisories telling their citizens to avoid London.

Some years back a bunch of galloping lefties condemned this area where I live as being "" Hideously White"" OK with that BUT our boys can go out at night wearing their expensive trainers and not get stabbed or shot for entering " Da rong hood bro" Our girls can go out in shorts and skirts without being verbally abused or groomed by paedos

I wonder how bad crime is on the Underground system there....(the tube).

Bad, its called Steaming in street slang, gangs of muggers board a train at station A, as it sets off they rob the passengers then get off and scatter at the next station. You would have to be pretty dumb to use the tube outside peak commuting time. oh and avoid the upstairs of double Decker London buses.

Need some Banard Guess types start riding trains there . You know He personally had a very small impact but the press afterwards during the manhunt for Him and His trial led to a change in how New York dealt with crime and made the City streets a little safer atleast parts of it .
