One machete crime every 90 minutes on Britain's streets as police try to deal with thugs

[kazam]

but but criminals need a safe space too!!!!!

 

[Osculater]

I didn’t even know Danny Trejo was living in the UK.

Machete knows no boundaries

 

[Bald1]

And nobody in the media has got the balls to say it like it is...

Asians?

 

[Prime Rib]

A campaign to arm all with machetes would stop this. You people are blind.

 

[all caps]

You sir, are an idiot.

The middle east has been getting blown up pretty much forever and Africa has been poor and starving pretty much forever.

It hasnt been just the US bombing the shit out if the mid-east.

Why did these migrants/refugees just begin to appear recently?

Whatever makes you feel better bud.

Well apparently ignoring reality and blaming the big bad USA keeps you warm.

 

[Fedorable]

fucking Indiana Jones.

OK!

 

[Fugazy]

OK!

Alright!

 

[TSO]

Why not arm everyone with machetes?

You need a force multiplier. One guy with a blade being attacked by multiple with blades usually can't do anything, but arm him with a gun and the thugs know at least one of them can and probably will die.

What does the NMA have to say about this

Then people should roam in packs, armed with machetes, of course.

Its just a distraction from the real problem and that is the thousands of people everyday operating a tv without a license

It sounds like a Monty Python sketch but true.

As someone who lives in the UK, much of this crime is attributed to local gangs (as in, born and bred british kids) and thier criminal shenanigans, not so much immigrants (thats not to say they dont do a bit of stabbing when given half a chance) who are also involved in illegal antics, but not to the same degree.

Also the shabby state of the police force in the UK, which is undermanned, overstretched and hugely limited in its powers doesnt help. Huge cuts in police numbers and poor pay for existing staff have lead to a lot of police officers leaving for other jobs in the civil service which are better paid and without any physical risk.

Its a shit show

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

My cousin lives in London.

She says every day that someone gets stabbed, usually youth and that there’s a bunch of 14-15 year olds on the streets every day mugging.

Ironic that London today reminds me of 1800s London with Murderers, pick pockets, thieves, like in Oliver Twist.

Gosh, America is so violent and terrible.

Oh wait.

I guess we're not the sole kings of violence.

Huh

 

[Prime Rib]

Those are swords, not machetes, but the general principal applies.

 

[Durr T Sanchez]

Asians?

Good thing you live in Canada..if you were in London someone might turn you in to the authorities for hate speech. As a Canadian worst that could happen is you make Justin cry.
