You know!! some yank on here was talking about how black kids are getting shot in london. like 16/year is a massive shock to the system

only to find out via *cough cough* watch the throne [murder to excellence] more yanks died in Chicago annually than soldiers in Iraq!

And Chicago isn't even the murder capital of America, despite the amount of people that get gunned down in that city annually. grin You've New Orleans, St. Louis, ATL is catching up, Baltimore, Philly, DC, Oakland, South Carolina, LA, Gary(Indiana) etc. where people get killed like it's nothing in that country. Yet they call, London, a place where only 5 murders(and that's the highest in like 3 years) have been recorded this year so far, violent. grin

The only time London was violent in the last 10 years was probably in 06/07 when people were getting gunned down almost every week in South London and parts of North London. And since Trident and undercover feds stepped in, it has reduced drastically.

Also, New York City is one of the safest cities(if not the safest) in America. grin

I tell you. Some gun fanatics believe they can use their guns to fight a Federal government that has nuclear weapons, fighter jets, bombers and cruise missiles! it's absolute hallucination.
Bro you don't get it.There is no way the American Government can fight the masses.The masses make up the America of today.No sane Military personnel will throw those missiles on his fellow American and the Government knows this.I was speaking to my friends last week that the Govt has succeeded in cowing its masses into serious fear.A good example is the threat that if you type A the American cyber space will detect it and you will be bursted but those things are far from the truth same with the issue of GUNS.That is the only thing an average American believes in.Am in favour of the background check for responsible and law abiding citizens but not taking it from them in totality as they are secretly planning

Good point, considering the city's size in terms of population (10 million) and the number of incidents.

2nd ammendment rights of American does not translate to unregulated access and indiscriminate use of firearms.
Until Americans and NRA understand that; The Killing Continues.
Unfortunate though.

True. The govt has been intensely monitoring the electronic communications of all U.S. residents, since G.W. Bush's tenure. The NDAA, signed into law by Obama last year, gives the president the right to assassinate someone within U.S. borders, without the benefit of due process of the law.

Come on, bruv. New York has been soft(in terms of American form of violence) since Daz and Kurupt crashed the Empire state building in New York New York tune(loooool) - and Giuliani locked-up all the thugs on Rikers Island. Don't ask me how I know, bro lool. They'd rather slash your face than shoot you in New York - and that's the honest truth. Only Detroit and Flint(both in Michigan) are as violent as those places. Memphis as well. But Chicago isn't top 5, but close to the top. New York on the other hand, is definitely one of the safest. Little Rock(AK) is more violent than NYC - fact.


Even jersey is tougher than NYC - fact.

tdade: 25 People Shot (6 Killed) Over 48 Hours In NYC

Mayhem in the city: 25 people shot in 48 hours
Three killed Sunday after three were killed Saturday. One of the wounded includes an 11-year-old girl who will never walk again.

Violence surged like the mercury Sunday, with three more fatalities from gun violence — and eight others wounded in shootings — bringing the total number of bullet-riddled in the city to 25 in less than 48 hours. Only Staten Island was safe from the wide-ranging spray of gunfire and sickening weekend bloodshed. At least 12 people were blasted in Brooklyn, eight in the Bronx and another four in Queens. The sole person shot in Manhattan took several slugs to the chest and perished in broad daylight.

Sunday’s first fatality was Ivan Martinez, 21, who was approached around 3:25 a.m. by a 20-year-old gunman and a woman at E. 139th St. near Brook Ave. in the Bronx, police said. The gunman shot Martinez once in the head and ran off with the woman. In the second fatal attack, a man in his 40s was gunned down during an argument in East Harlem around 1:20 p.m. The victim, who has not been identified by police, was blasted multiple times in the torso on E. 105th St. near First Ave. Less than four hours later, Damien Powell, 25, was killed after he was shot in the chest outside the Albany Houses in Crown Heights, sources and witnesses said. The victim’s mother collapsed at the scene, where shell casings littered the street, witnesses said.

In other shootings Sunday:
- A 21-year-old man was shot in the leg in the Ravenswood Houses in Queens at 12:10 a.m.
- A 21-year-old man was shot three times on East New York Ave., Brooklyn, at 2:36 a.m.
- A 20-year-old man was shot in the leg at Bedford Park Blvd. and Webster Ave. in the Bronx at 3:30 a.m.
- A 35-year-old man brought himself to Jamaica Hospital with a gunshot wound in the leg at 4:12 a.m.
- A 15-year-old was shot in his leg and back on Osborn St. in, Brownsville, Brooklyn, at 11:40 a.m.
- A gunman opened fire at Bedford Ave. near Lenox Road in Prospect Lefferts-Gardens around 3:25 p.m.

The ploy to being about gun control, citizens will have to give up their guns to the government and then there will be a One world power controlling. Anybody found with a gun will then be found guilty. This is the ploy to get the people to surrender their rights in the name of pity, guilt and fear. There have always been shootings in NY why is the NY daily deciding to suddenly start reporting these? Adding sentiments like: And an 11 year old girl who will not walk. America is babylon

And yanks talk crazy about unsafe London is, when more than 22,000 people are shot dead in that country every year.

If this should happen in London, best believe all the whole place would be on lock down with military police and undercover cops everywhere - stopping and searching every black person in sight.
If i remember correctly, some years back, you used to side America against the UK. What went wrong?
