Amazon.com jews ban self-defense items in UK Victim Disarmament Zone

by jew Paul Joseph Watson in UK

LONDON -- Following calls by politicians, media and the police for Brits not to buy baseball bats and engage in what was disparagingly termed “vigilantism,” Amazon UK has followed suit by banning self-defense items from its online store, after sales of makeshift weapons soared through the roof as a result of riots plaguing the country.

In the immediate aftermath of widespread looting and rioting which was directed primarily against private homes and local family businesses, Brits left defenseless by a blanket gun ban that makes it virtually impossible to own a private firearm rushed to Amazon to purchase whatever could be used as a weapon to protect their families and property from attack.

The need for self-defense was exacerbated after police in London were ordered to stand down and let the rioting take place for the first three nights of chaos as a result of a Scotland Yard directive.

Sales of aluminum truncheons and baseball bats skyrocketed, with some items achieving sales 50,000 per cent above normal.

However, despite the fact that communities organizing themselves into groups to protect their streets, undermined by being labeled “vigilantes” by the media, did indeed serve to quell the worst of the rioting, politicians like Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow which was hit by riots on Monday night, lambasted members of the public for purchasing weapons to defend themselves.

“This crosses the line when it involves weapons,” said Creasy. “That just encourages the sense of fear – we want to reduce tension and fear in the area. People with baseball bats roaming the streets is not helpful: don’t go on Amazon buying them.”

Following suit, Amazon UK today banned the sale of perfectly legal items, including self-defense sprays and Kubotans, short lengths of plastic or steel.

“Amazon has removed several police-style telescopic truncheons from sale on its site as soaring sales of truncheons, baseball bats and other items that could be used as weapons sparked fears of vigilantism in the wake of widespread rioting,” reports the Guardian.

Amazon users were divided about the decision, but many applauded the move despite the fact that police completely failed to protect countless businesses from being burned to the ground and did little to stop violence which led to people being killed.

“Even if they are being bought by respectable home and business owners, they should be banned from sale temporarily,” said V Woolf. “Vigilantism is not the answer. Get these items off the shelves, we are all scared and angry in London and need to know that measures are being taken to help us to feel safe in our cities again.”

But there’s a difference between ‘feeling safe’ and actually being safe in your own home. No amount of government legislation or police deterrence can provide true safety and security, that responsibility rests with the individual. This has been proven in triplicate over the past few nights. As soon as communities started banding together and patrolling their streets, the riots withered and last night there was virtually no trouble at all.

However, the media quickly disparaged people getting together with their neighbors to protect their communities as “vigilantism”. The Metropolitan Police, whose order to its officers to stand down on the first three nights of rioting directly led to the escalation of the chaos, also warned residents not to patrol their communities.

Just like gun control, banning baseball bats only disarms the public and creates victims. Criminals will always be able to acquire weapons of any description because they do not obey laws. Leaving Brits defenseless will only embolden the rioting hordes.

If the UK riots have proven nothing else, they’ve proven that the authorities cannot and will not protect you. It always comes down to the responsibility of the individual and the community to protect their own families,

I tend to read PN's posts right up until the first time I run into the word "jew", and then I stop right there and move on to the next post, because at that point I know PN has nothing relevant to add to the conversation.

Anyone else do this?

Quicko, I do the same thing, I read until he says Jew and then I just skip ahead to what the next person has to say, you'd think that he'd realize that we aren't interested in anything he has to say about Jews, its a real turnoff. But I did like his racetrack thread and this London Burning thread is very relevent, as are some of the things he occasionally posts.

OED,

Nice dreamworld the press lives in. They've been straining to try to find this sort of stuff, but I'm not convinced it's even happening, as the riots are taking place in black neighborhoods where englands white supremacists would get drawn and quartered, and also the media has really sacrificed all credibility by not reporting that it is damn well known who is fighting whom.

The short of it is this:

First, the UK has copies the US's moronic "war on drugs" and created "operation trident" to mirror our DEA.

Second, this Trident was carrying out an arrest of the victim, a suspect in a crack deal turned murder. Suspect being the operative word. Apparently the misunderstanding began when an undercover cop and a uniform cop appear to have had an exchange of fire, and someone responded by shooting the victim, who was himself armed, but doesn't appear to have fired, and there are conflicting reports on whether his weapon was drawn.

Third. Twoo hundred friends and family gathered at the police station to protest. The police, knowing they had done something wrong, refused to answer. Which was damned stupid of them. They should have said "and investigation is undeerway, justice will be served," whatever.

Fourth. A group of street gangs joined the crowd, spreading rumors in a whisper-circle game manner, until myths abounded about what had happened. The purpose of thijs sort of this is to create chaos for some opportunistic looting by gangs who intent to sell what they loot.

Fifth, pakistanis, who are more likely to be in business, were under attack because they had stuff that gangs wanted. Some pakistani shops get burned down,

Sixth, pakistanis formed vigilante militias to defend themselves because the police weren't doing so (surprise, and here is your racism for you, possibly)

Seventh, black rioters (gang members) killed some pakistanis and youhave yourselves a full on race war, blacks vs. Pakistanks.

Okay, analysis?

1) Wulf is closest of anyone. This is a lot like the LA black on korean riot violence. Both asian and black minorities live in the same neighborhood, and the asians in both cases have a business community, not rich, but seen by the local poor blacks as rich. Black communities in both have a gang community.

2) the victim was himself a gang member, which might motivate other gang members, but most gangs seem unconnected to the victim. This might have explained some of the ignition of the situation however.

3) the police was slow to defend the pakistanis, but this was probably more out of fear of appearing racist by attacking blacks. The media seems even worse at this. Neither would have hesitated to attack nazis even if that were in any way a plausible theory, which it isn't.

4) if you mean opportunistic nazis, i don't know how they would get their hate on in a black neiborhood without getting killed. I think the media is reaching. They keep saying "a mixed crowd" "all sorts of ethnic groups" because they don't want to say "blacks are attacking pakistanis."

I would say the white police are attacking, but they're really more sort of standing there saying "oh dear. Stop it please. Ouch!"

My guess is that pakistanis in britain radically outnumber nazis.

I THINK you mistook my "paki-bashin" comment, it was meant as an "anti-joke" aimed at certain minorities on the right who see anyone Asian (Indian,Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese,Sri-Lanken, even half-cast blacks) as a "paki", but it at least led to a very good analysis from you with which I agree.

Thanks,

You are absolutely correct that there is an element on the right that would use any opportunity as an opening to attack pakistanis, if not literally, at least a fair number who want them gone, and with tories in power, a police response which seems inadequate by failing to defend pakistanis arouses some suspicion in me that was really getting no press over here in the states.

This is not a new problem however. As anyone familiar with the beatles original recording of "get back" would know.

Initially, I quite liked Cameron, or at least his platform, but I'm very familiar with platform and realith being two different things. He first made me uneasy with his comments about multiculturalism and muslims, and then more so with the blackpool drilling, and now this, and. While I think Blair was an utter disaster, a little pressure on the tories to move more back towards their lib dem allies might be a good idea.
