Firstly, the UK-US difference has more to with classification of crime rather than the UK being rampantly more violent than the US.
Secondly, most burglaries arent live, they take place when the victim isnt home.
Thirdly, this stupid charge dosent change the fact that UK citizens ARE allowed to defend their property, even to death if necessary (burglar stabbed to death in Manchester last year-—homeowner no charge). As I have just posted, I myself was the victim of a burglary and used violence to defend myself and property. For which I was commended.
The law has even been strengthened, but the CPS is stupidly using the ‘he was outside’ angle and lack of common sense. The law clearly needs to be tightened, as the CPS is using this loophole to waste the courts time with a stupid charge.
I admit that the UK is not a lot more violent. But the US has a larger underclass that tends to be more violent. The US also has a powerful deterrent for people who would be victims in the UK. Specifically the rape rate is higher in the UK and I doubt that is due to classification. In the US a rapist may get shot by a potential victim, but not in the UK.
That's a lie and both you and your buddy Piers Morgan know it.
By any definition one uses for muggings, rapes, burglaries, robberies and murders the UK is almost exponentially more violent than the United States.
There are more muggings, rapes, burglaries, robberies, murders, beatings, etc.. in the U.K. per 100,000 people than in the U.S.
That's fact.
It's also fact that on the list of most violent countries according to U.N. Statistics (something you socialists should be embracing) the U.K. is in the top 100 most violent countries in the world. The United States isn't even in the top 100.
Take your bullshit lies elsewhere.
