A Rotherham thread about how Yanks are terrible at protecting their children.

You can't make it up.

How's it a good point when we know who the main scumbags are but the police, authorities are afraid to throw the book at them in case it starts a racial backlash. So Robus, your post is pointless as we know the answer.

Is there no connection between the facts that you have been made physically inoffensive and defenseless, and that your daughters are being prostituted by foreigners?

Harold would have recognized this for exactly what it is. He would not have disarmed his jarls.

In 2008 when Americans elected Obama, a majority thought race relations were improving. That held across race and party lines. Nobody thinks that anymore. What happened?

You're right, it probably wouldn't have happened if we had the same gun laws as the USA.

But on the other hand all our gangs would have guns instead of knives, so there would be more murders, and more innocent people caught in the crossfire with bullets flying around.

Areas with low crime rates would still have them. Many parts of the US where guns are prevalent have low crime rates and few shootings. To the extent you have gang problems, you would see more shootings in those areas. The important variables are ethnicity and income rather than gun ownership.

Civil disturbances would take on a different look, to judge by the US. Rioting and looting are localized and do not spread into nearby suburbs. Residential areas are protected.

Back in the 1970s I was sent on a number of training courses with impressive titles that could basically be summarised as “how to prevent yourself being blown up by the IRA”

Seem to have worked Grist - or did they?
