Okay let's try one more time.
More than 80% of murders in London are carried out by black people.
Blacks occupy around 10.6% of the population of London.
The only question I am asking is why ...

OK let me take my Liberal beanie off now.



The high murder rates have more to do with large groups of people with diverse backgrounds, religious and life views being forced to live close to each other. It also has a lot to do with the break down of society and a lack of respect for ones fellow human.
No they don’t. There are diverse places in the world with low crime rates. It’s where certain oppressive regimes operated against certain groups for longer periods and entire cultures were largely wiped out that you often see these a frustrated, more violent underclass.

Yet London isn’t even in the top 3 when it comes to murder in European cities. In European cities with the highest murder rates, whites commit most of the murders.

Off the top of my head I would think that it's mostly a carryover from those coming from the Caribbean. The Caribbean has a high homicide rate, being a former slave colony and all. I doubt that those numbers in the UK are coming from the African immigrants....but the Caribbean immigrant population.

You are literally clueless.
I viewed the link prior to my comment. There is a history of edits to your post where you went back and linked the Wiki page for the UK act, but the first one you had before you changed it was for the USA.

Also, this still does not negate what I stated. Citing wiki pages about laws and media sources is not providing a source for your statistical assertion.

Doubt the majority are immigrants anymore. These days many are born in the UK and a number of them are half-white. But yes, generally Caribbean, especially Jamaican descent.

This has more to do with mass shootings perpetuated by persons who have legally owned guns versus random murders of black people. If only black people were killing each other, no one would care very much about it in the media nor in the government IMO.

Will note I am not for "banning" guns and I legally own firearms. However, I do feel there should be more restrictions placed on legal owners and only allow certain types of weapons to certain, verified, licensed, individuals.

I don't think doing that will prevent lawless folks from getting guns/committing crimes as there is always a market for illegal items, but it will make it harder for them to be acquired especially by mentally ill people.

Woah stop using logic and adding in additional relevant facts other than the carefully selected statistics used by the OP. Your ruining the lazy bigoted group think.
