Re: Ok Ok
That sucks. One reason why I'd hate living in London - the crime. My sister's there at uni and she was mugged in her first week. Her friend kneeled down to do her shoes for a second and had her bag run off with.
Maybe I've lived a sheltered existence in Exeter and Jersey, but I sure am glad I have.
Were you insured against that kind of thing?

There are pikeys at Waterloo?!?
I regularly go to Waterloo (mainly to go to Richmond/Twickenham/Kingston/Hampton). I just got a new phone so I'll keep an eye out (since I'm going to one of the destinations mentioned tonight).
But about the incident, sorry man. London is really trying to be the next Brooklyn/Bronx/NYC.

Re: Ok Ok
Never ever happened to me- a few tricks:
1) If staying out in town late: i take an old 6210 and a discman- hence if anyone "asks" me for my valueables, I hand these two over keeping my 6260 (soon to be!) and mp3 player. Ireland= cold so i generally have a jcket with pockets to spare.
2) If chased, always, always drop a handful of change, they will always stop to pick it up.
But mostly that stuff never seems to happen to me- though i got knifed, they went for my face but i threw up my arm in defence, got a 4-inch scar just above my wrist, some racist bastards (mother is from singapore etc.)

Re: Ok Ok
This is why people should be allowed to carry guns, 2 9mm hollow point rounds in the middle of his back and he wouldn't be stealing from anyone ever again, you would still have your phone and the worst that society would lose is a bit of gutter scum that if we are honest, none of us really care wether it lives or dies so long as it doesnt disturb us in the process.

Re: Ok Ok
If I'm not using my phone, it's in one of my trouser pockets, which are concealed by a long coat, and if I am using it they can see that it's old and useless and not worth stealing.

Probably just enough to hang the tattered remains from London bridge as an example to others.
Plus iirc hollowpoints are not likely to over penetrate and hurt a bystander.

So in places were they are allowed to carry guns they are free of crime?

I dont believe that I claimed anything of the sort.
The pikey bastard would be dead though and that is what I care about, law and order are for those unwilling to defend themselves and require others to do so for them.

What if you missed and shot a innocent bystander, would it be acceptable if his friend shot back?

Re: Ok Ok
I wouldn't fire a gun if I thought there was a significant risk to bystanders but I would accept the consequences if I hit someone else.
At least you didnt try and make me feel guilty for shooting the criminal :-)

Re: Ok Ok
Ofcourse i didn't. I think it is ****ed up to shoot someone because he stole your mobile but thats just my morals. They are always subjective.
I just mean that it might not be the smartest thing to start firing of rounds like that.

As soon as you base your life on breaching the rights of others I feel that you lose the safety of your own rights, I dont deny that shooting him in the back is....of a dubious morality but it would be highly effective in stopping mobile phone thefts if they all got shot
I dont think it would be smart to do that either but it would be highly satisfying, which was the main thrust of my post

The problem is that whatever amount of violence you pour into crimestopping will sooner or later kick back at you. The next guy will just shoot you.
Compare it to the alcoholsmugglers of the United states during the 30's, and the smugglers we see now.
At least the current ones give up. They don't draw Thompsons and start firing

In most proper robberies people already pull knives anyway. Guns are rarer in street robbeies here (although not unhead - I know of a couple of people in London who have had guns pulled on them, but they may well have been replicas). I doubt most pick-pockets would want the hassle of violent crime.
I think the issue is that as Nod has pointed out in another thread, most people follow some kind of cost-benefit analysis in most of their actions. It's quite possible that if, to mug someone, you had to pull a gun that less people would bother since
a) Pulling a gun is pretty dangerous, even for you.
b) Pulling / using a gun is going to mean a very hefty prison sentence if you're caught.
c) Guns cost quite a lot and you may as well try and go for some more lucrative targets.
No doubt the situations that did occur would be a lot more violent (if every second maniac was carrying a gun) but you might find the total number of robberies would decrease.

I thought about this too, but only I saw the other side of the coin.
In most cases cash is the incentive for the robbery, either directly from what the victom may have in their wallet or from what they might be able to hawk the items for later.
For this reason you want to make the robbery worth while, no point going through all that to end up with nothing of value.
As a theif you may be more willing to go after the easy but less lucrative targets if you are unarmed. It's a simple snatch & grab with little confrontation and can be done repeatedly to increase the potential for earnings.
If you are armed you face a significantly different set of risks. Getting caught for armed robbery is nothing like just plain robbery, not only that the victom or any potential witnesses are more likely to report the situation and the police are going to put more effort into nabbing you because someone wandering around with a weapon in hand poses much more threat to society than just someone snatching things.
So, the theif now has to take this into consideration and he'll choose his targets more wisely, it takes random purse snatching and pick-pocketing out of the equation. It puts him more into a role that's going to involve some sort of confrontation, he doesn't know if the person he's going to be confronting will resist or not. Small scores are not going to be worth it any more so he chooses rich people, or people that look like they carry things of value. People who carry things of value don't afford these things because they are stupid, rather they are educated enough to be in a job where they can buy these items of value. Educated people are more likely to resist, and indeed more likely to be armed also. The thief knows this and realises he's going to need to be either violent or very convincing with a weapon if he wishes to suceed.
What does all this mean at the end of the day? Well on the benifits side you get less rooks trying to make easy scores their life just isn't worth it. On the negative side those that do will most likely end up in violence.
Sorry for the rant, it's late here and I've just been typing this as it spews out of my head, haven't really had time to turn it into a more polished post.

Please explain how in any way this makes it not a city?
Or, for that matter, given that London is the capital, how it could even be a matter for debate?

Re: Ok Ok
I think Reading is probably one of the worst places in the south.
Whilst as school people tried to mug me more times than I care to count.
Everytime I am out at night I see at least one fight.
Everytime I stand in the station someone will ask me for money, in the context of "I am 50p short of my train fare...". This I really don't understand, it doesn't seem to happen anywhere else I go.
Everytime I walk from the station to my bus stop I walk past tramps who also ask me for money. They also ask me for money everytime I go out in the evening.
London is nice and fluffy in comparison. NICE AND FLUFFY.

Re: Ok Ok
My visits to Waterloo are littered with people asking me for change.

Re: Ok Ok

Irish guy in London who asked me for money. I gave him about thirty pence in change as it's literally all I had other than notes. He said it wasn't enough, turned to Deepflow with the outstanding line of "here, your mate owes me some money, lend him some."
I love the Irish.
