They are just digging themselves in deeper and deeper over there. I was reading The Sun “discussions” page and the question was “Should we arm our police?” Most of the response was “No, we don’t want to be like the US.” One idiot said, “I will kill myself if we become like the US.” Another gem, “I don’t trust our police without weapons, what would they do if they were armed?” Brilliant.
Answering another question, a Canadian chimed in with, “The US is so violent, that Canadians are afraid to go there.” (We have no Canadians visiting here? Obviously, she has never been to Tampa in the winter.) She added, “We demand that they leave their guns home when we let them into our country. I am grateful every day that I am not an American.” So are we sweets.
This would be laughable if it weren't so serious. The criminal element is deterred only by fear of arrest or death, and they have nothing to fear.
“The US is so violent, that Canadians are afraid to go there.”
LOL, but not so afraid to go to our vastly superior doctors.
Well, if your only source for information about the USA was an MSM broadcast, you, too would probably think the whole country looks like Detroit. Something of the reverse is happening to us with all of these stories about crime in Britain - the happenings in lower-income areas of cities are being extrapolated by conservative bloggers and media outlets into an inaccurate picture of violence in the entire country.
