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!

How old are you? Our cities are filling up with French and British who are loving every minute of it.
48.
How do I emigrate?

Here's a dashboard set up with data provided by your own government:

https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/montreal-crime/

The report estimates approximately 158 armed robberies per month. If you want to insinuate that of the thousands of armed robberies that happen per year, none of them involve a Rolex, more so a luxury watch, that's your choice.
Link the definition for armed robbery. “ Any theft where violence or threats were used”
Also, not thousands, 1800 or so.
So no weapons necessarily and certainly not guns.
People just don’t have guns pulled on them in the streets for their Rolex.




No, that’s fine, there is crime everywhere, not hard to prove.

But, to suggest there are not massive differences between places of similar populations is also easy to disprove. For example, why not link us similar crime statistics from Chicago?

I am always up for a debate so I don’t mind engaging but there is a point where it is best to leave it alone.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

2 footballers in 1 highly recognisable vehicle in a high profile part of London. 9 million others not harmed.
These ludicrous scare-mongering posts are tiresome.

No one is scare mongering. Just exciting video.

But please, broad daylight in a high profile area, knives and ninja suits?
