Knives are effectively banned in the UK, where you can get arrested
for carrying a Boy Scout pocket knife.

Yes, I think you have to be a certain age to buy them. They've also regulated sales of hydrochloric acid used in etching concrete floors for painting because of acid attacks there. What next?

Not really... When I visited the London Eye, I was asked to surrender
the Swiss Army knife on my belt, but I got it back on leaving.

"BBC: London murder rate passes New York. So much for European gun
control"

Why always so extreme? London is a city in ONE country in Europe, so
automatically with no substation this applies to all others?

That's idiotic.

Compare US statistics with any other modern country. You lose. Every.
Single. Time.

I've heard you're Canadian. That should make you feel safer and is
statistically justifiable.

You haven't a clue about lots of things. If anything, when people remain
indoors due to inclement weather, that increases the likelihood of such
murders.

Strangely -- but probably not surprisingly -- when I went
to Rich's link above, it's not about the crime rate, but about
a specific knife attack! I couldn't find any comparison of
London/New York murder rates.

The Reality Check article OTOH says the comparison was by the
Sunday Times. I don't recall actually seeing any BBC article
making the statement claimed by Rich, and I do read its stream
on a daily basis.

It wouldn't be unusual for Rich to extrapolate from a single incident to
make some global claim that is usually ridiculous when you look at
beyond a single glance. For instance if one Muslim beheads a non-Muslim
anywhere in the world - even just on TV - it would be like Rich to claim
that all Muslims everywhere want nothing but to behead every infidel in
the entire world.

Swedish police banned from describing criminals anymore in case they sound racist

Swedish police will no longer be able to give descriptions of alleged criminals for fear
of being seen as racist.

According to an internal letter, police in capital city Stockholm are instructed to refrain
from describing suspects' race and nationality, according to news website Speisa.

Local newspaper Svenska Dagbadet reported it had seen the letter, which it said
outlined how officers should now notify the public of crimes.

The crimes “involve everything from lighter traffic accidents to serious crimes like muggings,
beatings and murder,” the paper reported.

The letter specifies that, for everyday crimes such as burglary, basic information such
as ethnicity, nationality, skin colour and height should not be given.

It was written by Stockholm police press officers Wolf Gyllander and Carina Skagerlind,
and said crimes should be reported externally via the police website, without descriptions.

“We want to avoid pointing out ethnic groups as criminal,” said Mr Gyllander.

Sepesia reported the letter read: “Criticism is sometimes made against police regarding
information about people’s skin colour. It is perceived as racist.

“As police are not racist, nor shall be constructed as so, this directive now applied.”

The letter, dated September 15, 2015 was written just a few weeks after a youth festival
in central Stockholm at which there were a number of alleged sex attacks.

Nothing is more frightening to a 'progressive' than someone thinking

They almost literally piss their knickers over their fear of perceived

labeled as a '--phobe' and 'afraid'.

Ask the police in Sweden. They certainly have a good reason for it.
Don't just conjecture and assume evil intentions, because that ain't
normal behavior.

in the US. Swedish people are on the side of the people and institute

Our local fishwrap (I'm not sure if it originated with them or the cops
or both) adopted this 'no description' policy years and years ago. In
lieu of saying in words what they looked like, they ran the artists'
sketches, which looked like "Billy from Family Circus draws the man who
came through his bedroom window" which was particularly embarrassing
when they colored them in and the crude sketches were just a black ball
with eyes and teeth.

We’ve got the same politically reporting here in Detroit, where several years
back there was a serial rapist and the media went into all kinda details about
his methods, area of operations, clothes, etc. even pointing out that his car
had a primer painted passenger door, but nowhere was it mentioned that he
was Black.

My city newspaper’s “Crime Watch” section regularly has blurbs along
the lines of; “suspect is described as 6’ tall with a small scar on his right
hand, wearing a side-ways baseball cap, FUBU jacket and Timberline
boots, last seen headed south across 8 Mile Rd.”…

What does that have to do with the description of the suspect?

Nothing of course, as this has nothing to do with solving crimes or protecting
the community from criminals, it’s part of the drive by the Left to eliminate all
data on race/ethnicity so that opponents can’t point out the failures of their
policies.

What Is the Truth about Crime and Immigration in Sweden?

“To isolate the effect of immigration on crime, we need data on crimes
committed by immigrants. Obtaining this type of data is easy in the United
States or Denmark, but not in Sweden. The last time there was an official
report breaking down crime statistics by immigrant status and origin was in
2005, for the years 1997 to 2001.

These statistics confirmed that immigrants were significantly overrepresented
amongst offenders, in particular in committing violent crimes. The foreign born
were four times more likely to be suspects in homicide cases than those with
Swedish origin, and 4.5 times more likely to be suspects in rape cases.

Since then, Swedish criminologists and politicians have made sure that no
new statistics have been released. Not a single recent research study in
Sweden has attempted to estimate the causal effect of immigration on sexual
assault or homicide rates. Parliament recently defeated a motion to produce
up-to-date crime statistics based on national origin. We simply do not know
what percentage of sexual assaults or homicides were committed by immigrants
last year in Sweden.

The Swedish criminologists and government officials who adamantly deny the
effect of immigration on crime don’t know these figures, and strikingly don’t
want to know. Americans who are interested in this topic should focus on this
surreal taboo against statistics, not cartoonish exaggerations that falsely
portray Sweden as a war zone.”

According to an internal letter, police in capital city Stockholm are
instructed to refrain from describing suspects' race and nationality,
according to news website Speisa.
So, have you ever compared the rates of crime in the US compared to
Sweden? Apparently, police are far more effective and less lethal than
in the US. Swedish people are on the side of the people and institute
policies reflecting this ideal.
What does that have to do with the description of the suspect?
Nothing of course, as this has nothing to do with solving crimes or
protecting the community from criminals, it's part of the drive by the
Left to eliminate all data on race/ethnicity so that opponents can't point
out the failures of their policies.

What Is the Truth about Crime and Immigration in Sweden?
"To isolate the effect of immigration on crime, we need data on crimes
committed by immigrants. Obtaining this type of data is easy in the United
States or Denmark, but not in Sweden. The last time there was an official
report breaking down crime statistics by immigrant status and origin was
in 2005, for the years 1997 to 2001.
These statistics confirmed that immigrants were significantly
overrepresented amongst offenders, in particular in committing violent
crimes. The foreign born were four times more likely to be suspects
in homicide cases than those with Swedish origin, and 4.5 times more
likely to be suspects in rape cases.
Since then, Swedish criminologists and politicians have made sure that no
new statistics have been released. Not a single recent research study in
Sweden has attempted to estimate the causal effect of immigration on
sexual assault or homicide rates. Parliament recently defeated a motion to
produce up-to-date crime statistics based on national origin. We simply do
not know what percentage of sexual assaults or homicides were committed by
immigrants
last year in Sweden.
The Swedish criminologists and government officials who adamantly deny the
effect of immigration on crime don't know these figures, and strikingly
don't want to know. Americans who are interested in this topic should
focus on this surreal taboo against statistics, not cartoonish
exaggerations that falsely portray Sweden as a war zone."
Now, who's breaking down people into groups and dividing the country? It
sure ain't Sweden. It seems they have greater respect for the individual
and society as a whole than curious right-wingers (The National Review)
searching for evidence that immigrants are unproprotionately represented
in crime statistics and therefore dangerous and undesirable.

The simple reason is AGE. Again, ask any policeman, prosecutor, judge or
prison guard. 90% of violent crimes are committed by men age 17-21, who
are highly represented in immigrant populations because many of them are
escaping gangs back home or do not want to being enscripted into
military service by a dictator, among many similar reasons.

And again (and regardless of race or national origin), the overall crime
rates are MUCH, MUCH lower in the country of Sweden compared to the US,
so they must be doing something right. Despite the fact that they don't
keep crime stats based on national origin.

That's right. According to statistics and trends, one could easily

I keep bringing America's crime rate into this discussion, because you
are comparing a mountain to a molehile. You want to blow up what the
Swedes do into some kind of deep state censorship conspiracy, yet their
police show more respect for others and society as a whole and are
kindly rewarded by much lower crime rates. You're harping on the one
weed in your neighbor's otherwise nice garden while you're garden is in
a shambles.

You again fail to understand demographics. You will most definitely find
that the male age group aged 17-21 is more significantly represented in
crime statistics in every country in the world. It's not specific to
Sweden. That their population of immigrants and asylum-seekers is
relatively young totally explains a higher level of crime. It's not
where you come from, it's whether you're a young dude pumped up on
testosterone or not.

It's not censoring if the data is not collected in the first place.

By your logic, we should be collecting data on all suspects arrested, in
particular, whether their belly buttons are "innies" or "outies" and if
the authorities don't collect or release this data it's censorship.

It makes no sense at all.

It most definitely is not censorship.

"How many sex partners have you had in your life?" should not be a
question government officials routinely ask, collect data on and
disseminate to "interested parties", whoever they may be. And I'm sure
that plenty of weirdos would want to know.

Sweden and other European countries have stricter privacy laws than in
the US and again, you really don't know what you're missing in this
regard. ("You'll take my privacy away from me when you can rip it from
my cold, dead hands.")

You wish to determine the national origin of criminal suspects so you
can confirm preconceived notions. That's obviously a racist dick thing
to do.

If, however, you want to collect data on age and gender to make
comparisons of crime rates based on these data points, you may actually
learn what's really going on.

The problem with your "method" or premise is that is is primarily based
on bias, which is a fatal flaw in any rational exploration of the truth.

The government not asking a question isn't in any way censorship. It
would only be censorship if the government refused to allow anyone else
to ask the question. The government hasn't tried to stop TV Networks
from counting illegal aliens or tried to stop them from counting white
supremacists. If it was censorship to simply not ask a question, then
the US Census would turn into a *really* long form.

Meanwhile, if not asking is proof of censorship, can we inquire about
the last couple of decades of the CDC not being allowed to collect data
on gun violence?

CDC Gun Research Backfires on Obama

In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, President Obama issued a list of
Executive Orders. Notably among them, the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) was given $10 million to research gun violence.

As a result, a 1996 Congressional ban on research by the CDC “to advocate
or promote gun control” was lifted.

No one has ever asserted that. It's all in your mind.

There are plenty of valid reasons. Very similar to why the US census
should not be asking about nationality, when it's the number of people
(not just 3/5 for slaves [since corrected] and citizens, but also
foreigners) that determine how many representatives each state gets. The
question has nothing to do with the original purpose and everything to
do with driving division and putting people into nicely racist
categories for targeted derision and oppression.

The Swedes don't do this. Boo hoo.

this has nothing to do with solving crimes or protecting the community
from criminals, it's part of the drive by the Left to eliminate all data
on race/ethnicity so that opponents can't point out the failures of

Rotherham, England
Okay, I skimmed the wiki precis, where I learned that 20 organized
child-molesters were "predominantly British-Pakistani men" and that
somebody claimed reluctance to finger them for fear of appearing racist.
I don't know if that's what you're pointing me to, or, if it is, that
it extrapolates usefully to Swedish police policy.

If a Johan Schmidt or a Mehmet Muhammed gets arrested, his name appears
as "Johan S." or "Mehmet M." in the newspapers here in Germany.

Andere Länder, andere Sitten. (Which roughly translates as "Customs are
different in other countries".)

It's not because airy fairy libruls make it so immigrants,
asylum-seekers and resident aliens won't be insulted or singled out,
it's because of the privacy laws in the country, which you fail to
understand, because those of you in Canada and the US don't enjoy quite
a few of these protections. *You really don't know what you're missing.*

It's men ages 17-21 that by far commit the most violent crimes, which
has nothing to do with race or immigration status. Yet you presuppose
the wrong fucking metric, one that is racist in character.

I'm not buying it.

There you go again, deflecting and taking things to the extreme.

He didn't choose to put anything back in a box, he was using a very
good, right-on-topic example that illustrates you are sadly mistaken in
your assertions (obvious racial bias).

There is no back seat here and you are plainly in the wrong.

Yep, real progress is based on unbiased research and should always avoid
repeating mistakes made in the past. The rejection of bias is essential
to the process, particularly when pointed out by outside observers.

Rich thinks we're insulting him when we point out his faulty assertions
or demand substatiation, yet we are simply trying to inform him and
remain on solid ground.

One of the first things I learned as a teacher: Don't criticise the
person, criticise the behavior. Which I am finding difficult to do
considering the frequency and extent of the bad behavior he
demonstrates.

I can imagine a world in which Bernie Sanders won the presidential
election and then tried to add the exact same question to the
census...and then Republicans would be throwing a fit and demanding that
the question not be included on the census out of fear that it would
lead to increased federal handouts to local municipalities that were
trying to cope with larger illegal populations.

No, compiling statistics is not racist, unless you are specifically

to be the case here.

In the most Western justice systems suspects and the accused are not

No valid reason? I'm sure there are millions of Swedes who's disagree

Well, it's certainly interesting that 'progressives' insist on tracking
absolutely everything by race, until that data reveals some
uncomfortable truths, then it's suddenly off limits and 'there's no need

Ethnicity is just one metric and there’s no reason not to include it
with all the rest.
That appears to be the case here.
The only racism being displayed is coming from you (and Sweden).

So the BBC has disputed its own story? Interesting! Where were the
disputers when the original story was being considered for publication?
In other words, why didn't they "head if off at the pass"?
Strangely -- but probably not surprisingly -- when I went
to Rich's link above, it's not about the crime rate, but about
a specific knife attack! I couldn't find any comparison of
London/New York murder rates.
The Reality Check article OTOH says the comparison was by the
Sunday Times. I don't recall actually seeing any BBC article
making the statement claimed by Rich, and I do read its stream
on a daily basis.
It wouldn't be unusual for Rich to extrapolate from a single incident to
make some global claim that is usually ridiculous when you look at
beyond a single glance. For instance if one Muslim beheads a non-Muslim
anywhere in the world - even just on TV - it would be like Rich to claim
that all Muslims everywhere want nothing but to behead every infidel in
the entire world.

And boy, aren't you full of useful suggestions and potential solutions!

I suggest you contact your local officials, your US representative and 2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Homicide

According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for
52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and
"Other" 2.2%.

The offending rate for African Americans was almost 8 times higher than
whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher.

In 2013, number and percentage of murder arrests by race were:
Black or African Americans 4,379 = 52.2%
White Americans (including Hispanic Americans) 3,799 = 45.3%
American Indians or Alaska Natives 98 = 1.06%
Asian Americans 101 = 1.2%

dramatic increase in violent crime (in NO small part because of rampant,
unchecked immigration) makes the Tories look bad.
Boy howdy, do statements like these remind of the first season of
Legion, only just the opposite. In Legion, a guy hears voices in his
head and thinks he's insane, but he actually has special powers. Here
Rich thinks he has powers, but...
Who do you THINK is doing most of the shooting?
Somebody that doesn't put words in ALL CAPS?

Who do you THINK is doing most of the shooting? Forget the odd white nutjob spree killer, 8000 people dead last year, 40,000 shot, 90% or so if not MORE due to black and Latino GANG violence.
How did you determine the percentage of people who are shot in domestic
disputes?

I assume his original point was to show the failure of a large city in
Europe compared to a large city in the USA, implying that policy in all
of Europe is wrong.

Unfortunately, he's comparing apples to apples. There are strict gun
laws in both cities and New York should be praised for lowering its
murder rate.

Without being aware of it, it's actually stricter gun laws he's
promoting!

Which has nothing to do with gun control, seeing as NYC’s “Sullivan Act”
was passed way back in 1911, yet NYC’s crime rate has fluctuated up and
down over the years regardless.

There should be a 100ft bronze statue in New York to Rudolph Giuliani who crushed the scum element which at times had pushed New York's murder rate to 1000/year and turned Central Park into a hunting ground for THUGS.

Boy, are you racist. It's 2018, not 1918.

You also seem to be unaware of societal trends and sociology.

If you follow the trends over time and compare them to other cities and
the same thing is happening everywhere, then Giuliani does not deserve
all of the credit or even most of it. At most only a very little bit.

Your mistake is misattributing a general societal change to the actions
of one politician. There is some truth there, but when applied generally
this a fallacy.

Another tip: Extreme views with zero substantiation do not make people
think you are very intelligent. Quite the opposite.

What exactly was racist about that statement? Rich commented on the
crime rate and the dangers in Central Park and didn't single out any
particular group or race as the perpetrators.

This seems to be another case of your imagination filling in the blanks
with minorities, then you blaming someone else for the racist results of
your own mind.

As a linty seamussock, Darrel takes "the scum element" as a personal
insult. Mitigating against scum is a serious matter that only the
correctly formulated laundry detergent can handle.

Darrel and the other sockpuppets are filthy laundry in a forgotten pile,
or in couch cushions or behind the dryer. No one darns their holes. They
are only a thread or a broken stitch away from complete disintegration.

It's a hard way to live an entirely unloved existence. Please have
sympathy.

You guys are overly judgemental. Unable to properly defend your

I'm just glad it's not 1975 when LIBERALS ran things and the murder rate was around 1000/year.

Your unwillingness to listen and learn is detrimental to yourself and
others. Apparently, you have little to no understanding of demographics
and social change.

Making wild assertions without substantiation makes you look like a
fool.

It has lots to do with gun control, but more with demographic change.
Look at the numbers of gun crimes and deaths in NYC over a 5 or 10-year
period and compare to any other top 25 city in the USA. The trends are
unmistakeable. So, what explains why NYC has so many fewer gun-related
crimes and deaths than elsewhere?

It has nothing to do with “gun control” as the laws were in place for decades,
yet the crime rate went up and down anyways.

Look at the numbers of gun crimes and deaths in NYC over a 5 or 10-year
period and compare to any other top 25 city in the USA.
Why not compare the murder rates in the _same_ metropolitan area, such
as metro Detroit?

Both the city and surrounding suburbs are subject to the same gun laws and
have the same access to firearms and have the same population density yet
the city of Detroit, which makes up roughly 7% of the state's population,
accounts for almost 60% of the murders in Michigan.

If guns were the problem, then why aren't murder rates more or less equal
throughout Michigan?

http://www.cityrating.com/crime-statistics/michigan/detroit.html#.U7XDeRwU66Y

"The city violent crime rate for Detroit in 2010 was higher than the
national violent crime rate average by 367.58% and the city property
crime rate in Detroit was higher than the national property crime rate
average by 80.6%.

In 2010 the city violent crime rate in Detroit was higher than the violent
crime rate in Michigan by 284.94% and the city property crime rate in
Detroit was higher than the property crime rate in Michigan by 95.79%."

Looking at 2017, the homicide rate per 100,000 population stood at 1.2
in London and 3.4 in New York.

From the BBC:

//Claim: London has overtaken New York for murders for the first time
in modern history after a surge in knife crime across the capital.

Verdict: A selective use of statistics from the start of 2018 appears
to bear this out - but the reality is that New York still appears to
be more violent than London.//

IOW, #FAKENEWS.

New York had more murders so far than London in 2018. A freak spike in
numbers and the idiots post. Thank you RichA the Canadian welfare
freak for proving my point.

I heard on PBS that there have been 7 murders in London so far this
year. Quite a sound statistical basis for wild assertions, no?

Richie Rich extrapolates to extremes and has an "opposite take", usually
contradicted by the article itself, on virtually every news story he
posts.

If he reads a story about the birth of Siamese kittens, say in Dublin,
that's proof enough for him that immigrants from Siam are streaming into
the country to sponge off others by going on "the dole".
