Maybe London is not so safe after all?

Daveclock · 27 July 2019, 02:42 AM

Ask Michael McIntyre (or is that too soon?)

Not that it makes things better but it was an attempted car jacking of a very expensive AMG Jeep,,
Both players wife’s were also in the car,,,
All safe and sound is the main thing,

No. Read the story,

The first thing they said straight away “Give me your watch”

I check my facts before posting, thank you.

Mercedes AMG G-wagen.

Most definitely not a Jeep.

I own a Jeep and you just made the equivalent of calling a GMT 2 a G-Shock.

In some parts of the world they call everything a Jeep.

G-wagens, Land Cruisers, Defenders, etc.

Reminds me of this excerpt from an article I have read: "A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly."

Sead Kolasinac doesn't have the look of a bloke you want to mess with. Ozil, not so much.

Sorry to Arsenal fans... though I'm sure you could understand.

On a serious note, the conversation was never "is London safe." No city is absolutely safe, as most would imagine. The implied topic was whether London is safer than other cities, or rather, whether it's more dangerous than other cities. Data shows us that plenty of other metropolises are far more dangerous. You give me a major city and I'll dig up a story of someone getting their Rolex robbed at gun point. That's exactly what the Ozil incident does- nothing more.

OK, how about Montreal? Go.

No mention of location.

Targeted home invasion of a person known to have cash.

Money stolen was euros

Happened 8 years ago.

Anyway, Chicago is certainly in its own league.

Eight homicides in Montreal so far this year. That’s a weekend in Chicago.

Judging by the video he seems to be a scrapper!

I thought the robbers could only see little Ozil when they made their move and then Kolasinac comes out to ruin their party.

Wristwatcherboy · 27 July 2019, 03:20 AM

Maybe that doesn’t happen in Canada? Perhaps Canada is completely crime free? I wouldn’t know, I don’t live there so I wouldn't like to speculate on the safety of a country in which I don’t live...

I went to school in London.

desk jockey · 27 July 2019, 03:22 AM

Left London years ago - it's a crap hole now, maybe always was but it was a different kind of crap hole this this malarkey.

Which craphole in the EU are you now in?

harvey · 27 July 2019, 04:12 AM

Silly thread. Pick any big city in the world and you will find crime.

Did your police find the culprits who murdered the billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife in TO last year?

harvey · 27 July 2019, 04:16 AM

I have to add I love Canada and have been over a dozen times as I have family there.

milov · 27 July 2019, 04:20 AM

Sigh. Another thread. So many brand new members heavily pushing the fear mongering in the UK on the eave of brexit. Can you not understand that this is not the place for political discussion? I hope the mods are paying attention.

The thread has already been moved to the open discussion area.

I’m not pushing any agenda, just came across the story at lunch and thought I’d share it, mostly for the wild video footage (no pun intended)

Well, despite you claiming this isn’t the platform for this topic, you’re having your little chip-in, aren’t you?!

You’re right, let’s brush all of this repeated daylight crime under the carpet - after all, it’s just scaremongering.

Wake up.

erne75 · 27 July 2019, 04:26 AM

The thread titled was cut up and I read "London thugs vs Arsenal..." and my mind auto-completed "... of Bulgaria AKs". I got excited for a second!

donq · 27 July 2019, 05:14 AM

They left out the most important detail!

What kind of watch was it?

timedate · 27 July 2019, 07:12 AM

Call it what you want, compare it to other cities all you want, but in the space of 50 years london went from class to crap, and i know why.
