London most violent year had 284 crimes. Now the average is 50.. More than NewYork lol. (Crime exploded by 50%)
Actually, it's even worse than that. Violent youth crime has gone up
78% in London. Insane.
The reason for that isn't lack of guns, though. The reasons are threefold:
1. London mayor is a total idiot. I've seen him repeatedly on debate shows and comedy politics shows and he comes across as an incompetent cretin every single time. All he ever does is talk s**t in useless press conferences.
I honestly get the impression he was given the job because it'd look politically correct to have an Asian mayor rather than for his acumen or any skills he has.
He campaigned for stopping police stop and search tactics as one of his "main issues". Strangely enough since cops were told by him to stop searching people, now all the scumbags are carrying weapons and there's a huge surge in violence.
And what does he say now? A few days ago he released a video where he's ranting that there aren't enough police stop and searching people for knives and drugs...absolute f*cking moron!
2. Police cutbacks and power restrictions. UK police have had ridiculous cutbacks for years, and their powers have also been downgraded to a completely mad extent.
They're not allowed to chase mopeds in the city as of the mayor getting in power, because criminals riding mopeds were getting killed. So they just let them drive off and do what they like now. There are whole gangs that mug people on mopeds now, and f*ck all is done about it because the cops are too scared the criminals would get hurt...absolutely f*cking ridiculous.
3. Useless sentencing. These moped criminals commonly
throw acid in people's faces as of the last couple of years. I've seen people in the US commenting that it must be Islam related or something - it isn't, it's even worse than that...it's done just because it's easy and the sentencing for it is really low because there's a gap in the law. There have been delivery men who have had their faces burned off for their wallets, and the scum doing it get 5 years in jail from some plummy-voiced judge. Totally retarded.

TLDR: We don't need guns here, we just need a police force that arrests people rather than just doing f*ck all, and a mayor who isn't a complete brain donor.
If you burn someone with acid, you should get a f*cking life sentence and never come out again. If you're carrying a knife or acid, you should get 5-10 years in prison. If you steal a moped and commit a mugging on it, the police should pursue you and if you crash and kill yourself...one less piece of s**t in the world, what a crying shame.
If they did that the crime would fall like a rock and all these s**theads would stop carrying weapons in a few weeks.
I find it bizarre that if I were to hold someone down and cut their face off with a knife, I would rightfully get decades in prison, but if I do even more damage to someone but the only difference is I do it with a chemical...5 years in prison.
People who write the law are idiots as well!
Long post but the ridiculous state of London the last few years is something that winds me up XD
