I was debating online with a few British friends about one of their famous murder cases involving a drug killing where two men were shot (the Brits made a movie about it.)

And I expressed surprise that they made a movie about "only" two killings, since here in Pittsburgh PA at that time we had two infamous murder cases, both hate crime cases, one where a black guy targeted and shot several whites, and another where a white guy targeted and killed five minorities. The British posters wrote that it all depended on your perspective.

The Brits are proud that their society hasn't seen the violence that ours has.

Not only has the violent crime rate in the UK risen, despite the absence of guns, but you can bet the Brits are not about to admit it. Not when they are ready to blame a horrible crime in Dunblane, Scotland on inanimate objects, and move to take them away from the citizenry.

the brits are still subjects and not considered free men... let them eat cake.
