The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S. ..

 

1. Madoff ran the second largest Ponzi scheme known to mankind, which is why the Feds ran him in; it was competition for Social inSecurity.

2. I guess the Brits never got around to writing that “shall not be infringed” bit down on paper and then signing off on it.

   Tough titties England. You made your bed, now lie in it. And make sure you require all the proles to trade their knives in for those new “stab proof” models, so that they’re even more defenseless. Idiots.

4. So I followed the link, and it says

   The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 92 and South Africa 1,609.

   So not only is violent crime lower in the US than in friggin CANADA fer cryin out loud, (only half as much, actually!) it’s lower than in almost all the countries in EUROPE, including FWANCE, FINLAND, and the bloody cheeseheads in fucking HOLLAND.

   Guess it’s our wild Cowboy Culture, and all those permissive gun laws that result in our streets being the Wild West with shoot outs every day.

   Yeah, and if you took the inner city moolies and the gang bangers out the US equation, the US would probably be the safest place on earth. That shit alone accounts for about half.

   Violent crime in the UK is nearly FIVE TIMES HIGHER than in the US !!

   Good thing you all disarmed yourselves. Pussy idiots.

5. Drew the figures do need some scrutiny. The method of reporting is a factor. In the UK if someone pushes you in the street it is recorded as a violent crime. I would not be certain that in the US they would bother recording it. The methods of recording vary greatly. I’m not saying that Britain is less violent but these figures should be taken with a pinch of sodium chloride. What also should be considered is where these crmes are occuring. I suspect a great deal of them happen in cities. Given how over crowded the UK is it means you are highly likely to encounter some form of violent crime if you live in any major city these days. Of course one reason that US crime is substantially lower could be that the US locks people up instead of giving them “community sentences”   how barbaric!
