Is this a genuine stat?

Afraid so.

 

[Stacky]

42,000 people are shot dead every week in the USA

That cannot be right ?

I don’t know why but this year above all others I’ve been thinking about 9/11 quite a bit, especially over the past week.

What must those passengers have felt in the moments before the planes crashed? Those poor children who died, how terrified must they have been? Their whole lives ahead of them and robbed by unspeakable evil. Thinking of the 18 Irish citizens who died that day.

I was 12 when it happened. I remember playing soccer out on the street with my friends and being told about it by one of them. What I can remember is being genuinely terrified for days after that something would happen in Cork. My Dad was on a flight from Heathrow to Cork that day and I was never happier to see him.

That fear evaporated a few days after though when my grandmother passed away. So when this comes around every year I think of it and her.

I know the brother of one of the women who was killed that day. Very sad.

 

[How bad boy]

The point is on the expansion of the term terrorist to individuals with knives in London.

That is a frightening expansion of the term especially when you consider the legal short cuts made in the name of the 'war on terror'.

Anti terror laws are used in Britain against people breaking the rules on refuse.

Its easy to argue that terrorists deserve no rights, which is what the UK and US governments have been pushing for years.
Now non white nuts with knives are terrorists.

We're only a tiny jump from the general application of those 'special' laws to the general population

And this is why the "antifa are a terrorist organisation" is a very bad thing indeed. It's also why I disagree with Labour on the proscribing of Palestinian action. Sure, they attacked some jets, but (very expensive) vandalism is a long way from inflicting terror and destruction.
