Violence in Jolly Old England

[nw_hunter]

In America we have "GUN VIOLENCE" In England, they have KNIFE "VIOLENCE". They got rid of the terrible object that killed and wounded people there. But they forgot about knives, ball bats, hammers, autos and a multitude of other sharp or heavy objects that can kill or injure. Could it be that it's actually violent people who need to be controlled, and not TOOLS?

I THINK I'd rather be shot to death, than stabbed to death, or beat to death. I THINK?

Actually, I'd rather shoot the yoyo trying to do any of the above.

The did NOT forget about knives, most other than butter knives are illegal. Just not unobtainable.

I think they call them Shanks in prisons. You can make one out of just about everything that grows, or any thing thrown away. I even read about someone back in the day forming a pointed weapon out of frozen dung, and killing someone with it. Now that is the Sh--ts!

  Had to check, but, for ceremonial events, Muslims were allowed to keep their swords. Their suppose to carry them in a way that is ''not intended'', to look violent. But, Greybeard, your on the money with the limit on knives there. I believe length of blade, can't be sharp, maybe can't be pointy either?  Can't wait to see how far down the road NYC goes before they wake up.

  Those killers in the UK by law, are not supposed to carry dangerous knives...But like killers here with guns, those kind do not let laws deter them in the least.

     ..And until now, Euros are of a bit different mind set than most Americans.  Do you recall the event a few years ago when a French train was held in terror
   by a crazed gunman?  ..And of the entire train load of passengers, it took 3 Americans to put the idiot down..

  Of course, not all Americans are of that nature.  When tiny, blonde Iryna was murdered...nobody even stirred to help her. Although about half of NY City was not born
     in America, surely some must have been real Americans.

   However, led by Tommy Robinson perhaps, folks in the UK and the Rep of Ireland, seem to be building their courage now, after a plethora of outrages.

I read an article that what the author called "Empathetic Suicide" by the western counties.  Lead by Womens lib 3rd phase which was/is to kill male masculinity and too much empathy for immigrants (illegal or legal) that the immigrants, especially Muslims do not assimilate and therefore end up destroying the culture.  The fist phase of womens lib was to vote.  The second phase was equal pay for equal work, etc.  The third phase was to say women can do anything a man can do so they really don't need men, toxic masculinity, etc.  This opened the door for too much empathy with no logic to balance it out.  This has led to the mess we are in today.  Also, leaving God out of everything thus no moral anchor to keep things in line.

  100% Women don't need a man, until man's work has to be done. Just seen a picture, from 1979, 2 women sitting in a convertible, celebrating the Ayatollah's coming to power in Iran. Both were reported murdered within month's of his taking control. If you've ever seen picture's from the 60's thru the over throw, you seen women on the beach that looked like they from Florida or California. Bikini's and regular one piece bathing suits, and many women today, still haven't learned the lesson.

   Brings to mind th e"gays' who arte marching, demonstrating and prostrating themselves in front of traffic..all to help Hamas,Hezbollah and other Muslim causes.

   When does their payoff come?  Why, when they take flight off a tall building, of course..
