- wakawaka28 2y agoBruh I've seen videos of people being arrested for merely insulting other people in Britain, or for carrying simple knives. Perhaps it is you that has very wrong ideas about the degree of freedom you actually have in Britain.
- youngtaff 2y agoCarrying a knife in a public place without a lawful excuse is a crime in the UK so it’s not surprising you’ve seen videos of people being arrested for carrying knives As for your interpretation of insulting they’ve probably been arrested for breach of the peace or aggravation of some form Those are all fair… and about safe and civil societies At least we can’t be arrested for crossing the road in the wrong place and we can drink at a reasonable age Oh and I ain’t you bruh
- wakawaka28 2y agoYeah I know carrying a knife is a crime in the UK. It's stupid as fuck. You can carry a knife, sword, or full on rifle down the sidewalk the US. You might get harassed by curious cops but it's legal nearly everywhere. >Those are all fair… and about safe and civil societies Nothing safe and civil about denying people the only means possible for them to fend off a group of attackers, or denying free speech to people. >At least we can’t be arrested for crossing the road in the wrong place and we can drink at a reasonable age Haha yeah the drinking thing is stupid in the US. Jaywalking is rarely enforced unless you are suspected of a serious crime, or else running across a high-speed road in plain view of cops.
