Shooting at Washington Shipyard

Quote:

Why do you think we don't have mass shootings in the UK anymore? We have mentally ill people and violent video games, the main difference is access to guns.

LOL just mass bombings..........

and...

We would have similar stats if we looked at the US state to state instead of the whole country. Considering the US has 3 times as many people as Germany.

You certainly are an arsehole!

Marines had weapon, but no ammo. Thank you, Bork Obunga.....

No. But for laughing ("LOL") about the bombings when some A2K members have lost relatives and friends due to that.

LONDON — Police on the British island of Jersey say a 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing at least five people to death in an apartment.

Neighbors say Sunday's mass slaying in the Jersey capital of St. Helier involved members of the same family, who are believed to be Polish. Police say five victims were declared dead a the scene while a sixth person is undergoing surgery at a hospital and in critical condition.

Police have released no details of the victims or their ages. One witness, Andre Thorpe, says he saw paramedics carry a bloodied child from the scene.

Head of crime services Stewart Gull, who is leading the investigation, says detectives haven't established the circumstances of the attack.

You can killed twenty or so if you good at it with a knife/edge weapon and hundreds with home made bombs.

Jersey is a self-governing parliamentary democracy with own laws (separate from laws on the other Channel Islands, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).
The States of Jersey Police is not related to any UK police authority either.

(Firearms certificates and temporary firearm certificate on Jersey are issued by the parishes according to the "Firearms Law 2000, revised edition 2010")

You can't kill anyway near as many people with a knife. Unlike guns whose only purpose is to kill, knives have many uses.

The Osaka School Massacre took place on June 8, 2001, at Ikeda Elementary School, an elite primary school affiliated with Osaka Kyoiku University in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

At 10:15 that morning, 37-year-old former janitor Mamoru Takuma entered the school armed with a kitchen knife and began stabbing numerous school children and teachers. He killed eight children, mostly between the ages of seven and eight, and seriously wounded thirteen other children and two teachers.[2]

LOL so they do not share the same culture as the rest of the UK ...

Jersey on the Channel Islands with the same culture as the rest of the UK? You are joking. Or stupid.

Well the UK hung them out to dry during WW2 that for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bailiwick of Jersey was part of German occupied France from 30 June 1940 until 9 May 1945. What does that mean for English and Welsh law? And how is it related to the shooting in Washington?

Islanders are full British citizens, and therefore European citizens. Any British citizen who applies for a passport in Jersey or Guernsey receives a passport bearing the words "British Islands, Bailiwick of Jersey" or "British Islands, Bailiwick of Guernsey". Under the provisions of Protocol Three, Channel Islanders who do not have a close connection with the UK (no parent or grandparent from the UK, and have never been resident in the UK for a five-year period) do not automatically benefit from the EU provisions on free movement within the EU and their passports receive an endorsement to that effect. This affects only a minority of islanders.
Under the UK Interpretation Act 1978, the Channel Islands are deemed to be part of the British Islands,[23] not to be confused with the British Isles. For the purposes of the British Nationality Act 1981, the “British Islands” include the United Kingdom (Great Britain and Northern Ireland), the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, taken together, unless the context otherwise requires.[24]
