Being outnumbered by armed gangs and trying to take them on is just stupid. I prefer the situation at the moment where they tend not to be armed at all - that way if you get any chavs starting shit with you, you just hit the mouthiest one of them and the rest of them tend to fuck off.
Even if they're armed with knives, at least you can run away - guns make that far more difficult. Anyone claiming guns being legal is a deterrent for crime needs to look at the homicide rates in countries where guns are legal and compare them to the rates in countries where they are illegal.

^^^^ No really, that is supposed to be insulting........ ah nevermind.
We're all statistics. IF you think you're special then you need to do a bit more thinking on the world.
How is that insulting?Lotta_Drool wrote:

It's pointing out something I quite like about my national and cultural identity. You need to do some work on the insults if that's the best you could come up with.
You're more than 25 times more likely to be shot to death than me. Ha!

And why does everyone use 12 year old when the majority of attacks are carried out by older teens... Shock value?
Sure, I think you are adding a couple years on to the perps to try to save face but I know you fear the prepubicent hoods. They run your streets up there. The shame of it all.jord wrote:

You can think what you like, seeing as how you don't know shit all about what happens outside your state... Maybe country at a stretch I don't really care.Lotta_Drool wrote:

What do you do when someone starts shit in a bar looking for a fight? Pull a gun out? I don't know which I'd rather have, a society reliant on guns for protection where you need an assault rifle to keep level on the playing field or one "run" by teens.

Since Bill Clinton enacted MidNight basketball in the innercities there hasn't been much violence, but I am 25 times more likely to sprain my ankle while playing basketball at 2am. Maybe England can have Midnight Cricket or something.

I'm actually about half as likely to be stabbed (to death) over here.
Based on a US homicide rate of 55 per million, of which 14% is knife crime (70% is gun crime) - makes 7.7 per million.
UK homicide rate is 15 per million, of which 29% is knife crime - 4.35 per million.
I, and pretty much everyone I know don't play Cricket. Now that that's been elaborated on...Lotta_Drool wrote:

I've heard better "solutions". But it's pointless telling me the solution spitty... I'm just a subject.
The too common part is damn right, but that shouldn't stop it making the news. I guess the whole terrorism shit and immigration sounds a lot more drastic though, and so that's what makes the media the money.Snake wrote:
Because it is all too common on those kinds of estates, and has been for as long as I can remember. Perhaps not 17person strong gangs such as that, but its certainly "old news" compared to some of the muslim stuff.FatherTed wrote:

Yes, we all condone it...but Terrorists and foreigners flooding into this country is what the media reports, and what people buy into.

I like bowling. You just try and scare/hurt the batsman and then put a few on target. It's great fun!jord wrote:

Yeah, but we have the Mexicans and Cubans which make up 40% of our prison population. If you take them out of the equation you drop the homicide rate of knife crime rate by 40% ( number of Mexicans in prison ) and then you end up with 5.5% - 3.025 per millionBertster7 wrote:

The UK has a very large immigrant population too. The simple facts are that the homicide rate in the UK is almost 4 times lower than that in the US. If you take 40% off, which is stupid because it's not representative of anything, then it's still twice as high.
They are not Americans though. I will admitt that there is a knife problem in Mexico and Cuba.jord wrote:
