Watch this video...

That video is funny though. You know that is Europe, because even if it was 4 teenagers, no America will just let someone walk up to them in broad day-light and smack them in the face and take their money without fighting back. There is no way in hell I would do that unless they had guns pointed at me. I'm might get seriously hurt, but I'm certain I will kill one of them and put another in the hospital. I don't play games like that. You put your hands on me, I will put you on the ground. :-) That's how I was taught. Also in the U.S. many states allow people to carry guns concealed, you go around doing that, well you might not live 1 hour.

God Bless America!

Woah,that wouldnt be too cool,IF that happens!

But hell I want one of those jackets

I would rather live in a country where I can be sure that no-one will walk up to me in broad day-light and smack me in the face (not that I want to be smacked in the face in the dark either).

Actually, i have a friend who was beaten up severely by some gang of guys who wanted to steal his car. This was at 4 am with few people on the streets. He was standing outside next to the car waiting for a friend when this happened.
If this was you or any other american, the same thing would have happened. You would end up on the hospital unconscious.

Don't you live in America? Have you ever seen someone do this in America? lol

No one in America walks up to strange people and slaps them in face. Because if you do that you will get the shit beat out of you or shoot you.

I think in Europe, the Donald Rumsfeld maxim is true.."Weakness is Provocative".


Don't move to France or the UK. Happy Slapping, I'm pretty sure was invented by Brits, not French minorities.


In any case, the larger question is is this the dytopia European anti-immigrant folks envision?

I might have ended up in the hospital but one of them would be dead.

Why?

Because I have a .38 snub nose I keep in my car at night when going to questionable areas. My lady doesn't like it, but I really don't care. I would pretend to cooperate with them, and then get my gun and start blasting. The only time I would not do this is if she was with me, unless I felt she was going to be hurt or raped anyway, then everyone has to die. Sorry. My father didn't raise a bitch.

The gun is legal. I have a license for it, from my state. I also have hollow point bullets (not so legal in my state) so if I shoot you the bullet will basically break apart. Good luck getting the fragments out. They will likely bleed out on the side walk.

I do not play with criminals. If you assault me you must think your life is worthless because I will definitely take it. Nothing wrong with culling the herd. Our laws are different, our government allows us to defend ourselves against filth, your government allows you to be victims and punishes you for defending yourself.


In any case, what you describe is different from the video.

The situation in the video would not happen in the United States. Sorry. If you think so you don't know America well. American men will not sit while thugs slap their wife or go into a bar and start breaking up the place with sticks, etc.

That is not our culture, that is a European way to think, wait for authority, act passive, hope it ends soon. My fiancee is right here and agreed that if this happened in Switzerland the average Swiss man would not do a damn thing but try to call the police. Maybe some old men would yell or curse, but do nothing.

In general, Americans are far more reactionary and violent than Europeans, especially Southerns. No way this could happen in Texas, everyone would pull a freaking gun out on these fools so quick you would think you were in Bosnia. haha

I live in Finland, and the video gave me a headache.

This is my world. I know it is a marketing video, but it is not far from the truth:

Oh sorry, confused with you with someone else.

Finland is like this??

Come on, I doubt that.

[Eltabaco]

Come on, I doubt that.

No, the region in Tavastia where I live is like that.

But it isn't that far from how it is everywhere. It is peaceful and quiet here.

My friend resisted too... It wasn't even his car and he didn't have the key. The thing is you can't do much when it's 1 person against a gang.

As for the video i never seen anything like that here. Not on daylight. I think things like that might happen in trains late at night in some areas of Lisbon.
If it happened, i imagine people would resist if it was one person doing that. If it's a gang, people will think twice. Even if they resist, they will lose.

Losing is fine.

The point is that if enough people resist, the gang won't be doing this because they don't want to fight everyone. Bullies don't like to fight much, they like to intimate, every person they try to bully fights back, even if the bully can beat them it is still tiring, and no longer fun. Obviously the people are not intimidated.

[ClaudeMarkus]

I prefer the video posted by Aino. By far... Actually I work out almost daily for two main reasons. The first one is the situation in Majorca is dangerously approaching the one in France. And secondly it's always nice to be in good shape. As far as I can remember I never started a fight, but never refused to fight. I would only run away if my life was seriously in danger, though. I don't think I can carry a gun here.

Why would I want gangs like that in my country?

I think you can't compare a gang to a bully
I remember how is face looked like. Luckilly he is alright now though.
A group of people that thinks "let's steal that dude's car" doesn't care wether they will fight or not, or if it will be fun or not.

Maybe this situation isn't exactly what your video was about anyway. The video is about street thugs and i'm talking about criminals.

Sooo fake, it really IS funny! Not one strike was real, the cop ending up alone against all of them is completely unrealistic (and what happened to the rest of the cops?).

Gangsters do NOT wear easily-identifiable clothing like that and allow themselves to be filmed so readily.

The final proof was then car they jacked was such a beater, why not take a decent car? Because it is cheaper to trash a junk-heap than a decent car.

I especially like how they were not all one ethnicity so as not to be too racist, hahahaha!

Whoever thought this was real just has been watching too many bad movies!

[qikolax]

the video is very scary and i really hope it never gets like that in my country, although we do have the odd riot, but never in my city has it been

[Nundduedola]

It has got like that in parts of the UK. Just watch the movie Harry Brown.

[Indinehon]

Those immigrants who act like that are really ruining it for the rest. The native Europeans will one day be fed up with that shit and committ tens of new genocides or deportations very fast.

[loan4younow]

It's a music video of some sort. Of course it's not real.

[economex]

Trust me, it is not that far away from reality.

[mazabotman]

I find it amusing how French people are emphasising "Oh it's not that far from the reality", and "This stuff really happens". Shit, stuff like that in the UK has been happening for years, no one is shocked by it any more.
