Fellow Bostonians: How many of us wished we had an assault weapon last night?

@BillRM,

You really are a ******* moron, the Turner Diaries aren't banned here, they have a uniquely red neck appeal anyway. Showing an armed response unit after a terrorist incident does not show regular day to day unarmed policing.

You're hysterical and ridiculous.

The British Transport Police, the London Metropolitan Police, and the City of London Police (and all other police authorities in the UK) have units (the met about ten different) of Authorised Firearms Officer .
Your photo pictures the C019, the London Met's specialist armed police unit, and not ""unarmed" London Police"

Jewish group complains over sale of hate books online

Web posted on: Tuesday, August 10, 1999 4:09:41 PM

(CNN) -- The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center says it has asked the German Justice Ministry to investigate whether Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com, America's two largest Internet booksellers, have illegally shipped hate literature to Germany, including "The Turner Diaries" and Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

The center has written to the booksellers saying they hope and expect the firms will move quickly to ensure they do not inadvertently emerge as a major "purveyor of hate" in Germany. Those letters went to the German-based Bertelsmann company, which owns 50 percent of Barnesandnoble.com, and to Amazon.com.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is a Los Angeles-based international organization for Holocaust remembrance, the defense of human rights and the Jewish people.

Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com representatives were not immediately available for comment.

According to letters addressed to the booksellers, which were posted on the Simon Wiesenthal Center Web site, a researcher for the center in Germany ordered from the Internet booksellers copies of "Mein Kampf," "The Protocols for the Elders of Zion," "The Turner Diaries" and "Hunter."

In describing "Protocols," the center wrote that it has "been labeled a warrant for genocide and has been used by antisemites to spread their violent and hateful venom throughout the 20th century." "The Turner Diaries" served as a model for Timothy McVeigh's terrorist attack in Oklahoma City, the letters say, and "Hunter" attacks minorities and homosexuals.

In the letters, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, notes that in 1995 a U.S. citizen was convicted and jailed in Germany "for distributing illegal propaganda and for encouraging racial hatred."

In a letter to the German justice minister, Cooper said the books were "sent directly to the homes of the customers thereby circumventing the German laws regarding these publications."

"Mein Kampf" and "Protocol" are both banned in Germany, Cooper said.

In a statement Monday the center said it had received confirmation from the ministry that it was investigating the two Internet retailers.

@Walter Hinteler,

They are armed and they are police officers in London so whether they are special Authorised Firearms Officers or not is kind of beside the point.

When there is a problem the London Police bring out the heavy firearms as fast as any other police department in the world.

@izzythepush,

When I used to visit the UK often when prices were more reasonable to us yanks, I've often wondered about the unarmed police.

Some people's knowledge about other countries are limited to their personal perceptions without ever having visited, garnered from some unique picture(s), and what they wish to "remember."

A little knowledge can be dangerous!

There's a saying; don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see. Good advise for most of us!

Not a type of weapon to be used on the crowded down town streets of a major city in my opinion.

They are armed, I didn't say anything else.
But it is important that they are Authorised Firearms Officers - otherwise they wouldn't be armed.

You're the one who has made sure you're equipped to go on a shooting spree.
Do u advocate different means of self defense,
e.g., swords, arrows, or to suffocate him with a pillow?

or do u advocate simple helplessness,
in the face of the predatory violence of animals or of criminals ??

I advocate keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and nutjobs, and we do a far better job of that than you do.

That's IMPOSSIBLE, if he wants a gun.
Its not hard to make them (for centuries, by hand, b4 the advent of electric tools; easier now).
If he is too lazy to make one personally, the blackmarket remains available.

If a criminal chooses to disregard the laws against robbery;
if a criminal opts to ignore the laws against murder,
then HOW can u convince him to obay gun control laws??

Not carrying a gun doesn't mean you're helpless by any means.

My question concerned WHICH
means of self defense u favor??

Not if it can almost completely disarms it citizens and will not even allow them to carry pepper stray on their key rings!!!!!!!!!

But they will come for you if you have the "wrong" reading materials or said the wrong things in public.

How many of the postings on this very website
would be breaking the hate speech laws in the UK Izzy?

That's a very interesting question !
We don't wanna lose u, Izzy!

@OmSigDAVID,

As most of the "hate speech" tends to be anonymous posters exchanging insults, it wouldn't be of any interest to the authorities.

BillRM tends to churn out a lot of paranoid hysteria because he simply doesn't understand the legislation. Arguing with someone who just reacts from the gut because he cannot consider things intellectually is a pointless exercise.

Btw we sometimes have problems with stray cats, not stray peppers.

Izzy try telling that to the woman who spend over a year in the UK prison system for the crime of having a few issues of inspire magazine on her hard drive.

Copies that a judge even agree was for her own private research into what drive the recruiting of Muslims in the UK and for no evil purposes of any kind of her own.
