I think gun violence in Canada is split near 50-50 between gang warfare and general public; don't know about colour. That observation might be significant if gangs comprised 50 percent of the population in Canada. But they don't... not even close. King's observation, if we can believe him, proves that if the rights of anyone should be infringed upon, it should be segments of the population that belong to street gangs. Not law abiding citizens in Canada or elsewhere. Great point King. I'd much rather see Stop-and-Frisk searches and profiling of gang members, than more laws that affect law abiding citizens. And in the last civic election in Toronto, the site of much gang violence and gun play, a major issue was getting the police to stop "carding" individuals on the street. Carding is simply stopping someone and checking IDs. Because it was "racist" to do so. So the new mayor directed the chief of police to have his men stop carding. The frequency of gun violence and other issues subsequently spiked upwards. Surprise Surprise! They do their level best not to publicize the racial profile of those who are shot and those doing the shooting. Overwhelmingly black, with a bit of Asian thrown in for good measure. Ooops, how racist of me for point out facts.

not good...limey elite need outlet for their pent up hostility issues...
otherwise, they are apt to go invade some hapless place like belieze or maybe cuber...

Ed- you want to see a great movie about the British military "culture" and elitism- circa 1904-- see "Breaker Morant"-- same elitism as evidenced somewhat by British Gen. Haig at his "Butcher's Bill" from the battle of the Somme 1916==
Only the upper class attend Sandhurst Military Academy and become Officers who later plan and lead enlisted men to disaster and death- Monty's "Op Market Garden" speaks to that- in spades. RWTF

That is correct- you have seen the movie then? In "Nam" the update to that philosophy was: "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out later."-- an antithesis to the words of wisdom from a German philosopher-- "When you set out to destroy monsters, take care not to become a monster yourself"!! Foxie

no man begins life as a monster...with perhaps the exception being those born into the british royalty and their hired henchmen...
and the "pennyworth" series is well worth watching...

Thanks, Edster- My wife is hooked on the limey soap opera series- Downton Grabby-- now a movie based on all that pomp and circumstance crap is about to appear-- Like to have the shotguns shown on the driven shooting scenes however--So how do I view the "pennyworth" series?? RWTF

I'm so glad that you both are able to contribute to this subject. A chip on each shoulder gives a far more balanced view than simply spouting class envy on your own. It must be awful for you to have to live with so little history or breeding but take strength from the assurance that we will give you equally little thought.
As our language becomes impoverished,,our thinking shrinks to fit.

Possibly the most polite way I have ever heard of telling someone to get stuffed.  Some folks here could learn from your post.
