London stabbings

Seemingly Trump’s golf courses in scotland now have round-the-clock security; people kept sneaking theough the gates and defecating in the course’s holes.

But, did you see Trump donhis speech? Mimicking terrirists shooting French people one by one?
Obviously that’s pretty disgusting, but it’s also completely wrong (the nightclub shooting was done with semi-automatic weapons, bomb belts and grenades.

Now, the man was speaking at an NRA conference (or: institution for the mentally deranged; it’s hard to tell), but he really needs putting down.
Like a rabid dog, he should be put down out of his misery.

Oh. I didn’t just write that. That’s fake. That’s not my real opinion. Don’t you wag your sanctimonious fingers at me!
How dare you suggest I wrote something like that!

I’m all for a second Trump term. I mean he’s obviously the fittest president the US has ever had. His doctor wrote so.

And it’s the pandora’s box of comedy gold.
Every day he opens his gob and something even stoopider than before comes out!

Cheating on his wife
Pussy grabbing
Paying lawyers with election fund money.
Paying whores to keep quiet.
Having lawyers pay whores to keep quiet with election fund
Money.
Lying about not re-imbursing said lawyers.
Firing the main manninvestigsting you.
Threatening another man who’s investigating you.
Constantly tweeting embarrassing things.
Attacking comedians.
Collusion with the Russians.
Constantly claiming he’s the best.
Golden showers in Moscow.
Mimicking terrorists shooting people.
Mocking the handicapped.
Racism (of sorts: it’s probably just stupidity though).
Linking tweets to nazi propaganda.

Writing your own doctor’s notes (how the hell did he get away with THAT? I got expelled from school for a day for doing exactly that).

The list is bloody endless.

HE’s ONLY BEEN IN OFFICE FOR 1 YEAR AND A FEW MONTHS!!!

In fact, some of these same doctors are actually using the term "war zone" specifically.

So, again, why decry the notion when r ...[text shortened]... hich case anything you have to offer ought to be viewed through such a prism?
Explain yourself.

One exaggerating doctor compared the situation in U.K. hospitals to Helmand province. It was just that, an exaggeration.

12,970 knife attacks in London this year...sounds like a war zone to me...

Oh dear oh dear... what are we to do with you?

Firstly "The Sun" is a right-wing rag whose reporting cannot always be relied upon.
But putting that to one side.

Your figure of 12,970 is for total knife crime for the financial year.
Knife crime includes possession of a knife
(And you don't see carrying a weapon for defence as a crime do you?)

Woundings for the year were 4,700, a huge increase on previous years but about 10% what you are claiming.

In the same year gun crime in London was down 4.6%
Not quite a war zone.

That's one of many reports speaking on the growing number of knife-related deaths and injuries.

It was ridiculously easy to find, as was Martin Griffith, the surgeon who's quotes were likely the basis of Trump's comments. ...[text shortened]... y immediately decry the comments?
Are the statiticians in on it, the hospitals and police, too?

It blows my mind how there are knee-jerk reactions to this stuff.

This has been huge in the news for over a month. It was one of the hot topics. It still really is.

He did not diagnose the problem but merely made an observation about it.

I do not get why people are pretending like any part of this is absurd.

It really can only be chocked up to fanaticism.

What is absurd is thinking a London hospital is like a war zone.
An average of less than 15 woundings a day across 60+ London hospitals.
A war-zone?

And the answer is lax gun laws?

LOL.

ABSURD

Everyone engages in hyperbole.

Of course, you understand that, but you choose to be outraged by it.

It is unclear where Mr Trump sourced his information. However, leading London trauma surgeon Dr Martin Griffiths told BBC Radio 4 a month ago that his hospital was likened to an Afghan war zone. The interview was the basis for a Daily Mail article.

I'm not outraged by it - dismayed perhaps, although Trump has lowered the bar.

Hyperbole has its place - and its place is not in Presidential speeches.
