Sharon And Ozzy Osbourne Cite Mass Shootings As Reason For Leaving US

[Mr.Know-It-All]

Population London = 9 million
Population USA = 330 million.
330 / 9 = 6'ish
London deaths = 140
USA deaths = 506 round it up to 700 to finish the year.
London deaths multiplied by 6 = 840 vs. 700
London wounded = 16,000
USA wounded = 1,962 round it up to 2,500 for the full year
London wounded multiplied by 6 = 96,000 vs. 2,500

Looks like there is a serious knife problem across the pond.

I wonder how many mass shootings there would be in London if they had the same gun culture as the USA?

They could reduce the number of knife related crimes by introducing guns...

I am left with the impression that London seems to be more violent than the USA.

The math is actually much worse.

300/9 is not 6... it's 36.67

London deaths multiplied by 36.67 = 5133
London wounded multiplied by 36.67 = 586,720

London is extremely violent when stats are extrapolated.

Fair points, but I think at the end of the day I would still choose Beverly Hills over London UK.

Just my $0.02

Probably, given the climate.

But the people I know with Beverley Hills type money living in London have the house in Chelsea / Knightsbridge PLUS the villa in the South of France.

Q: What do you say if you see a visibly intoxicated man with a shaved head and neck tattoos brandishing a broken beer bottle on the sidewalk?

A: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

Hopefully Ozzy and Sharon are packing some heat to fend off those knife wielding maniacs!

They’ll be living on their country estate, far from London’s criminal element.

Here in NA its totally different, lay one finger on someone and you're off to jail

Or to the city morgue. No city is safe.
