In the UK it is almost sacrilege to suggest that the 1997 Hand-Gun ban was anything less than a triumphant step towards a utopian peace. Over here comedians, pundits, papers and television routinely mock the USA for it’s gun culture; we are more enlightened, more “progressive” is the underlying sentiment.
But as anybody with any common sense could [...]
One common objection to anarcho-capitalism goes this:
“I can understand you want liberty, but by throwing away essential government functions like policing and law you throw the baby out with the bathwater! Without the police there would be nobody to protect those liberties you so desire! We need a small government, just large enough to protect [...]
The Largest Street Gang in America is a shocking and extremely disturbing documentary about police abuses in the US. Watching stuff like this makes me unbelievably angry. The absolute total injustice of what the police routinely gets away with is enough to turn anyone WACO.
I only intended to take a quick look at the documentary but it [...]
Interesting discussion on the root cause of crime going on at the forums here.
The original poster asks:
I wanted to know what you think is the root cause of crime. Is it unemployment, poverty or just plain boredom? I wanted to ask this as I found an interesting thought that the root cause of crime is [...]

Government goals and quotas sound like a good idea to increase productivity, and I’m sure the bureaucrats who come up with these arbitrary figures are well meaning.

Just another day on the Job for the boys in blue! [video link now fixed. I am fail.]

Gordon Brown tells police to keep officers on the beat:
Gordon Brown has urged police forces to keep officers on the beat in an effort to reduce the public’s “fear of crime”.
The PM said it was not “acceptable” to miss the Home Office target of having neighbourhood Pcs spend at least four fifths of their time [...]
There is good discussion on the Forums in this thread. People are sharing their personal experiences with the police. This post by a friend of mine stood out, however, and I wanted to cross post it here. Keep in mind that this is no libertarian rant, many of his political ideas are quite leftist in [...]
Pete posted this video in the comments on the original “The Police are not here to protect us” page. The video pissed me off so much I figured I should post it here so more people can see it:
And while we’re at it, here are a few more, just in case you think this is an isolated [...]
The idea that the police are here to protect us is a lie. The police are here to enforce the will of the government. Because “citizens” can start to revolt if things like murder and rape and arson aren’t dealt with, the police make a token effort to deal with these things when they occur, [...]
