London's Murder Rate Now Tops New York City's

  1. London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced a crackdown on knives Sunday in response to the rising levels of violence in London, which recently surpassed NYC homicide rate for the first time. "No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife," Khan tweeted. "Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law." There have been more than 50 homicides in London so far in 2018, and much of the violence is tied to gangs. Guns are strictly regulated in the United Kingdom and the rising homicide rate in London is directly attributable to a rise in knife-related crimes, with stabbings claiming at least 31 lives to date in 2018. By contrast, New York — which has a population roughly the same size as London — has seen a steady decline in violent crime.






    London’s Metropolitan Police launched 46 murder inquiries in the first three months of 2018 – including 15 in February and 22 in March. That is roughly double the number seen in the first quarter of last year and, in the latter two months, more than in New York, a city of comparable size. It is the first time in modern history that London’s homicide rate, which has grown nearly 40 per cent in three years, has been higher then New York City's. In the latest violence Monday, 17-year-old girl Tanesha Melbourne-Blake was shot dead in Tottenham, north London, in what witnesses described as a drive-by attack. A 16-year-old boy died in hospital on Tuesday evening, a day after he was shot in the face in northeast London, police said. A 15-year-old boy who was stabbed in the same incident has been discharged from hospital. “I fully appreciate the alarm, shock and revulsion caused by this murder and other fatal shootings we have seen across London over the last few months,” said Glenn Butler from the Metropolitan Police.


    All this is sourced from British news media and if youll notice not all the homicides were by knife even with London's strict gun laws two teenagers got shot in seperate incidences in the same night. The murder rate in London has increased by %40 in the last 3 years. With an increase in gun violence ...regardless of whatever gun laws are in London.
     
  2. London is a crap hole
     

  3. Apparently

  8. So wait with all the debate about banning guns in America your saying England had already done that then banned knives and they still have a problem. I guess banning guns will work in America though.
     
  9. Gang related music videos also fuel gang rivalries. British government banned numerous videos and some British gang artists from making more music.
     
  10. There was also a case in the last few weeks in south east London where a 79 year old man caught 2 burglars inside his house.Whatever happened the pensioner somehow stabbed one of them in self defence of his property.They both flee'd from the scene but the burglar was found dead on the street and his accomplish had abandoned him.They are still searching for the 2nd robber. But the pensioner was arrested but no charges were filed against him because he was defending his property.Also he got a big public support and people from all over u.k and his friends donated money for him towards his legal fee's.
    But now there is more tension surrounding it because the burglar who died his family and friends have been pinning up flower's for him. But the people who live in that road feel threatened with it all and some angered by it have torn the flowers down i think 5 times now.So now the police have intervened and watching over the memorial of flowers and letters etc to the burglar.
    The burglar's family are well known to the police and the man who died age 37 years and his dad used to trick old age pensioners that they were from the gas company and need to come inside the house for safety reason's Once inside they would both rob the pensioner.A decoy scam also including a female they were known for and also charged a pensioner £75,000 only to replace a few roof tiles.So many in the area had no sympathy for the burglar who died
     
  11. Forks are next you watch.

    The year of the Great Silverware Ban.
    Is the buy back program giving market price ?
     
  12. Yeah, I heard about that Roni.
    Total disgrace, a pensioner with a disabled wife defends his home from a burglar.
    The burglar died later from injuries. (The Burglar is a career criminal who's spent 10+ years in county prison. So, along with his friend and armed with screwdrivers they were burgularing homes.)
    The 79y old man stabs him when they attempt to rob the pensioner. The police arrest the old man for the "murder". Although he was later released, he's in protective custody now as the burglar's family have sworn revenge.

    The worst part? The family created a shrine for the burglar right opposite the old man's house to spite him.
     
  13. London is supposed to be a knive free zone
    What they should do is issue everyone with a knife , multiple knives if necessary and watch the crime and murder rate go down , cause no one is going to commit any violent acts if everybody carries them
    I like to have up to about 30-40 knives and blades at home for protection
     

  14. Ella I’m glad you finally realized that taking away things doesn’t mean it’ll stop the actions. How ever will they cut their food?
     
  15. Lol. Why does this need to be locked now?
     
  16. :ugeek:

  17. In USA is a kinderegg considered more dangerous than a automatic weapon.

    In texas you can only own 6 vibrators but no law against how many weapons you can own.

    Could go on forever with this.
    No one said that crime
    /Murder isnt a problem world wide.its what we do prevent them.NY police has done an exellent job.nothing to do with ppl having guns at home.
    So question is:if London didnt have strict weapon laws and ppl could own how many weapons they wanted,would there be less murdered?
    Answer is simple:NO
    Would more ppl die?YES
     
  18. Sadiq Khan is very inept
