We keep talking about England's out-of-control violent crime. We keep pointing out that the British government said that a drop in gun ownership would result in a drop in violent crime.

Guns didn't kill Yenga, people did.

Murderers are predators. They'll kill simply because they want to, because they think it's fun, because they won't control themselves, because they want to show how powerful they are, or maybe

While black people are two per cent of the general population, they’re 15 per cent of the prison population but more and more black people appear to be the victims of casual violence.

Two teenagers have been killed with knives in the last four days.

Liberals keep talking about how disaffected urban youth in America have been lowered to humanity's primeval instincts by our neglect and unwillingness to address problems and 'right wrongs'. We went over it last month with Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright and ad to listen to liberals insist that he is correct and that the rest of us just don't understand. Just last week on the 40th anniversary of King's death we heard his speeches against racism, 'economic exploitation', and leftover effects of America's institution of slavery. If we can just address these issues with national commitment to radical reform under Obama's leadership, we could finally bring 'change'.

Yeah, well...

Below are the pictures of urban youth in the UK who've recently been killed as a result of gang violence in greater London:

I'm seeing a trend here, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Primitive and violent Hip-Hop tribal culture infecting the old foundation of Western thought and the Age of Reason.

Some liberal needs to explain to me how a nation like the United Kingdom, wholly committed to socialism, anti-racism, weapon control, welfare, and all the other great nincompoop social engineering projects that flash across a liberal's mind haven't kept the UK's own urban youth from slaughtering one another wholesale. Take away the guns, they'll do it with knives. Take away the knives, they'll do it in a mob with fists and feet and snarling dogs. Obviously, liberals are on the verge of proposing dog control.

Could it just be possible that kids simply enjoy being wild-assed gang members because that's where all the fun is? That's where the adoring girls are. That's where the easy money is. That's where the plentiful drugs are. That's where all their mates are.

No amount of social fiddling and fussing, no piles of public largess, no commitment to providing opportunity and change -- even at the earthy individual level -- will change a thing.

You can either simply eliminate these lost causes from society, or continue on with more of the same no matter how ludicrous the proposal and heartfelt the apology on behalf of the evil of others.
