We would stick with our laws. But we are powerless to our corrupt government and rigged vote system. Our streets aren't safe ("amazing" knife laws don't actually work - no mace, tazers etc either I believe the term is "victim disarmament") Suicides make trains late a lot.

Australian here, and I feel the same way, especially regarding your second sentence. There's less total amounts of death here than there would be otherwise, but "less than" is not the same thing as "none". Hanlon's Razor applies, too - incompetence kills just as surely as malice.

I doubt your memory in that regard, but acknowledge the possibility of its occurrence, so, who knows? Definitely not me.

To clarify on the first sentence fragment, because I looked at it after posting and realised I'd made a mistake: I doubt that it actually happened and think that if such information did appear on the internet, it would probably appear as part of a melange of infohazardous content

And to bring it back around, I have not actually seen this information with my own two eyes, which means that that's all speculation, so the conclusions I've drawn are likely to be incorrect.

Chaos Retweeted Regents Park Police
cursory googling did not turn up safety scissors, only vastly more lethal sewing scissors, some needle-nose pliers and a file there's also the one with a spoon if you want to see thathttps://twitter.com/MPSRegentsPark/status/974645778558980096 …
