The british are not doing anything but shutting up and putting their nose back in the corner and do what they are told. Our govt is by the people and for the people. Not a communist like Monarchy

You are right. The crime and killings happen because there is something fundamentally wrong with the society they live in. I honestly can't believe what I'm hearing here...People are actually talking like home invasions where someone comes in to murder the family is everyday business. What the hell kind of place do you live in?

They're not the only ones, either.
Thanks for playing, though.
