This crossed my radar today, and I thought I’d share. The UK is very safe, no gun crime, very little violence, or so they say, as they lecture Americans. Please read the whole article. Question - who would be stupid enough to report a violent crime in Britain?

Not sure if this is related to your post, it is what comes to my mind. Anti gun people in the US say the UK has less gun crime because they have less guns. To me this is not true. They have less guns because they have less gun crime. If they want to reduce the amount of guns we have in the US they first have to reduce the gun crime. What reduces gun crime in America is responsibly armed Americans.

My thought was that if things are in general like this in UK, police sweeping things under the rug, refusing to prosecute, exposing victim to the perp, or worse, prosecuting victim for “hate” - truthful crime rates could be through the roof.

You’re onto something. Let’s get rid of the big injury/death causes and see if it follows suit. Cars, hands, feet, bats, hammers, knives. You are a riot.

I think the only thing that will keep the crime rate down is people learning to defend themselves and others. There are a lot more people than there are police.

For sure. But I am thinking of recent cases, like Daniel Penny, or NY bodega owner who defended himself with a knife, both were dragged over hot coals.
We were on the way (some momentum is still there) to become like UK. Pro-crime DAs chilling self-defence while lionizing thugs and gangs. And then… elections happpened, and some of the gangs and thugs started to leave. Plenty remain, but I feel like the tide has turned.

I live in the country. I guess the news doesn’t impact me like it does people from cities.
Best place to be!
