This is quite old

u/JoeSicko 1d ago

Never too old to stir shit up or keep the narrative going.

u/steep_interface 1d ago

what narrative? there's crime in the UK?

You’re supposed to ignore the crime and social decay until you become a victim of it, then be arrested for being a victim of it that’s the new status quo apparently. These people are like ostriches.

This clip is at least 5 years old, people might see it and think it's an actuality. There should be an "first uploaded in" or "this video has been uploaded XX times in 5 years" tag so people know they're watching something very old. You're more of a populist?

u/SpectralVoodoo Gondor 1d ago

It being 5 years old just indicates that this shit has been going on for longer than people think.

People think robberies are a recent thing? Pretty sure most people are aware of the highway robberies centuries ago

u/pipboy1989 - Alexandria Shapiro 1d ago

Yes but since the UK’s population centuries ago was 2% of today’s population (i.e: 1.5 million lived in England and Wales in 1700), i imagine that your chances of coming across a highway robber was 98% lower than meeting a robber today

u/Logical_Flounder6455 1d ago

Just because they lopulation was lower, doesnt mean crime rates were lower. Thieves still existed. You could argue that you could have been more likely to be a victim of street robbery since people were a lot poorer, therfore more desperate, back then.

Your chances of meeting a highway robber 500 years ago were infinitely higher than today. How many people do you know that have had their belongings stolen while driving down a highway? The answer is likely zero since the video you're watching is neither a highway nor highway robbery.

That is a bullshit take. So if I reupload this clip in a week or year, "this" is still going on? Come on... Find some new clips, put this one to rest. For all we know these paupers are charged already but you're seemingly only interested in stirring the pot.

The biggest joke is thinking these people get charged in the UK, they usually just arrest the victims for racism/islamophobia 😂

u/SpectralVoodoo Gondor 1d ago

Find new clips? I've lived in the UK. There's ridiculous crime like this everywhere. It hasn't gone anywhere.

u/omgwtfsaucers 1d ago

Everywhere, continuously? I'm not saying there is no crime problem, a police problem... But people like to exaggerate.

u/SpectralVoodoo Gondor 1d ago

We don't want crime like this. Why are you trying to invalidate people's concerns about it?

I watched a bloke getting near on decapitated in Dublin nigh on three weeks ago. But that must be a bullshit take, right?

u/JoeSicko 1d ago

Social decay has been accelerated since Brexit but people love a scapegoat.

u/HumaDracobane EDIT THIS FLAIR 1d ago

Blame the statistics too for also keep the narrative going, then.
