Just some of the violence in London this weekend
Enfield murder probe after young woman plunges to her death from top floor of block of flats

Also from the same article...
In a separate incident a man was due to appear in court today after a 23-year-old woman was stabbed at a home in Holloway Road, Islington, on Saturday night.
Joseph Martelli, 22, of Holloway Road, was expected to appear at Highbury Corner magistrates’ court charged with attempted murder.
And...
In Leyton last night two men in their twenties were taken to hospital after being shot in Francis Road. Their injuries were not life threatening and there have been no arrests.

Re: Just some of the violence in London this weekend
Horrific. I remember the first time I was checking out the news here and they made such a huge deal about a guy being parked at a Tescos lot saying he had a gun.
I think police had him surrounded for hours, and all over the claim he had a gun. In Texas, police have to let you breeze down the road with a gun holstered and visible on your person.
But guns are banned here, so I understand why mention of a guy with a gun is big news. I bet shootings are rarer than astatine.
(That's the rarest mineral in the Earth's crust. I googled it.)

The violence in London is getting beyond a fucking joke. I’m glad I don’t live there anymore...I have a teenage son.

Who as you may recall, I once looked into getting a Kevlar hoodie for. It's worrisome.

And it doesn't let up on Monday -- three teens stabbed within minutes of each other in Waltham Forest. Thankfully, their injuries aren't life threatening:

No... shootings aren't that rare here at all...
Cos the criminals still have guns... and they are the ones that normally go around shooting people and doing armed robberies etc...
It's only the law abiding vast majority of people who are without guns to use for their own protection...

They might not seem rare to you, but to me as an American, I can tell you that they're definitely rare compared the U.S.

Maybe you could explain what is happening in Chicago...?
Would it be anything to do with law abiding citizens with legal guns...?

Murders by firearms. There were 287 more murders in Chicago in 2016 than there were in 2015, a 60 percent increase. In total, the city’s homicide rate of 29 murders per 100,000 residents last year was nearly six times the national rate of 5 homicides per 100,000 Americans.

The US rarely discriminates regarding color, when it comes to law or policy. Jim Crow laws were struck down years ago. Where the US discriminates is in enforcement. The 'Black-lives-matter' movement protests against murder by law enforcement, not legislators.

You never ask questions. You merely spew your racism and abandon the discussion as soon as it turns serious.
