Because Glen Benton has long been a bastion of intelligence, representing the metal genre quite well with his articulation and commitment to intellectual integrity.
 
in England they blow their whistles, and everyone stops and puts the handcuffs on themselves.
god damn, England is so perfect. I wish I lived there. Such a nice place.

The homicide rate is considerably lower here actually.

Also there is an armed section of the police force.

from wikipedia: "Armed Police carry a combination of weapons, ranging from German Heckler & Koch MP5 carbines, Heckler & Koch MSG901 Sniper rifles, Heckler & Koch Baton Guns (which fire baton rounds) and Heckler & Koch G36Cs to a number of specialist weapons such as the Remington pump-action shotgun.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith recently unveiled new plans to train and arm response officers with Tasers, rather than just specialist firearms teams"
 
There are problems with those statistics in relation to Britain. One of them being that it seems to ignore the fact that the tougher laws on guns basically meant that people like farmers who have weapons have to put them in a safe with a certain strength and that things like AK47s and ladies guns which had previously been licensable were no longer. It's not like everyone had a shotgun at home until the early 90s and then they all got them taken away. Barely anyone did and it's the same now.

In relation to crime though, regardless how many people had them, the fact that they could have them is a deterrent to crime. Anyone considering a break-and-enter or maybe an alley mugging would be playing russian-roulette with whether the intended victim had a weapon.

With guns outlawed this is no longer a concern, hence the rise in crime.
