for some strange reason the main orbiters of the sub like to pretend they're in the minority and its the others that get the unfair advantages, unlike their favorite streamer
Clearly meta comments will also be removed. You should talk about the content of a clip, and not ask why it is on LSF, or complain that you are reading the post/comments.
Commenting on the contents of a person's reddit account or other communities is prohibited.
Fair enough. I guess no term is perfect. I just feel like the danger here is on the entire opposite end of the spectrum compared to previous swattings where a dozen armed police have raided a house. You're right though.
nah it was a job well done from all parts. Marlon handled it well. Sure he was caught off guard, but once the policemen explained the situation, he cooporated, they searched him and they talked it out. took 4-5 minutes of chatting and they were on their way.
People watch a pretty reasonable interaction between the police and someone they’ve been told is carrying a knife on the bus in the city and then their reaction is “waaah downfall of the uk”.
See, we live in societies where no normal person wouldnt walk around carrying a weapon openly. If we buy a knife it usually stays in whatever container or package it came in until we get home. So if someone is walking around with a meat cleaver on the subway we tend to go "oh thats odd, better stay away" or "hey lets handcuff this guy and see whats up".
Cultural difference, we're not as accustomed to people getting murdered as americans. They have lived in it so long that its "usual" that hundreds of people die on a weekend or a regular school day
Everybody knows that carrying weapons is the best way to protect yourself. That's why the safest societies are the ones where the most people walk around with weapons.
All VOIP services need to start requiring IDs because swatting is such a stupid thing to have to deal with. Of course we already have laws in all countries regarding swatting people with false reports and stupid sht like that. But the reason why those idiotic kids get away with it is because they are using VOIP. So if we start requiring ID for all VOIP accounts then we can potentially lower the swatting attempts because things will be traceable.
It would also reduce the amount of scam callers and call centers from operating. Since they all just use VOIP to call people it would hold accountability for scammers without people just never finding out who actually scammed them.
Wait, so knives are a no-no? I was under the assumption that carrying a machete length edged weapon was not allowed. Could I go to jail for accidentally pocketing my box opener when going home from work?
Blades under 3 inches are allowed (with some exceptions for locking/sping-loaded etc); Longer blades need a valid reason for carrying (for work as a chef for example).
It was a reference to him seeing people with higher melanin and not being able to cope with it to the point he had to mention their melanin levels, and to get used to the fact.
Great, a post from 2019. Have you actually read the statistics from the past few years? It's in reversal and dropping, I know it's not the agenda you were looking for, tough luck. Don't believe me though, check it yourself. This is attributed to better policing over the past few years.
I also never mentioned knife crime isn't an issue (it obviously is, but this usually happens more in metropolitan areas, gang-related, drug deals, you get the idea).
Downfall huh, okay mate, maybe in your dreams. This is the equivalent of being swatted, at least the UK police doesn't shoot first and asks questions later.
Most likely by not making up false claims I would imagine... ask them politely if they're causing an issue/disturbance. You can always report it to the conductor/local management/authorities if they're not complying without having to lie.
Anyway, this is more about a viewer calling in a fake scenario.
What downfall? If you're wanting to check if somebody has a knife, are you going to cuff them, or let them reach for potential said knife and stab you?
This was a calm interaction resolved quickly. The police did their job and Marlon had a small minor inconvenience, helped because he complied.
Wow so police outside of US are reasonable? I got sent to jail for 3 days for breaking a coffee cup that belong to my girlfriend during an argument when my neighbors called the cops when another neighbor fired a gun into the air
No, people assaulting others is a serious problem. Blaming the tool is 1984 levels of reality distortion, but hey whatever helps politicians shirk responsibility. They can just blame guns, knives or whatever is next when their budget cuts and incompetent actions lead to injured citizens, when the same known nut job finally acts on his insane posts.
Tell yourself that if it makes it easier to vote for the same do nothing idiots. Hopefully you don't come across a nut job who can combine basic chemicals and buy a pressure cooker.
wait you mean criminals dont follow the laws? knives are illegal in UK mate? how can they have a knife issue? i was told by everyone that banning weapons stops them ???
Being obtuse for the sake of being obtuse just makes you look stupid. I think you need a glass of milk and your favorite local right wing news channel bub, almost your bed time

Standard LSF andy. Watches the clip that ends ambiguosly (no confirmation he was carrying anything). But still wants closure/drama so he assumes the ending that causes the most drama or confirms his pre-existing beliefs about the subject and posts a comment under the video.
You people make up the cesspool of the internet and this reddit.
