a post from another exjw site, shows how throughout the years, in a regular, systematic fashion, the watchtower has influence thoroughly; an ideological point of view, in the minds of it’s members by using bible scriptures and examples, to get the members to do the unthinkable, even if it clashes with modern ethics.

february 2016 watchtower, paragraph 3 of the article titled .

"learn from jehovah’s loyal servants".

That's awful .

Maddison, WI Shool Shooting - 3 Dead

by Sea Breeze in

like the one in tennessee, this one in maddison, wi, was done be a female.

the police chief points out that: .

“yes, i don’t know whether [the shooter] was transgender or not, and quite frankly, i don’t think that’s even important.

Whoever that person is in the video showing Kier Starmer he gives no context whatsoever to what had been tweeted and retweeted . He infers that the posts are just people " discussing " the riots .

Now l don't know what was said but that needs to be made clear when making such accusations.

The stats that l quoted are for violent deaths per 100, 000 , not just gun crime . I used those stats because Americans tend to say that the UK has more knife crime than the US . Any such table shows that America is more violent than most countries.

I was talking about the UK not Europe as a whole .

I looked into some stats and although tables vary slightly this what l found on a list of countries by highest violent deaths. OK not necessarily gun crime but Americans are always trying to make out that the UK had a higher proportion of knife crime because we don't have guns to protect ourselves with.

USA ranked 81st with 6.00 deaths per 100, 000 people

UK was 144th - 1.22 deaths per 100, 000

China was 166th with 0.73 deaths per 100, 000 .

The incident cited was a very rare anomaly in China. One such incident in many years . Not like the school shootings in USA of which many occur each year .
