Bruh I've seen videos of people being arrested for merely insulting other people in Britain, or for carrying simple knives. Perhaps it is you that has very wrong ideas about the degree of freedom you actually have in Britain.

Carrying a knife in a public place without a lawful excuse is a crime in the UK so it’s not surprising you’ve seen videos of people being arrested for carrying knives

As for your interpretation of insulting they’ve probably been arrested for breach of the peace or aggravation of some form

Those are all fair… and about safe and civil societies

At least we can’t be arrested for crossing the road in the wrong place and we can drink at a reasonable age

Oh and I ain’t you bruh

Yeah I know carrying a knife is a crime in the UK. It's stupid as fuck. You can carry a knife, sword, or full on rifle down the sidewalk the US. You might get harassed by curious cops but it's legal nearly everywhere.

>Those are all fair… and about safe and civil societies

Nothing safe and civil about denying people the only means possible for them to fend off a group of attackers, or denying free speech to people.

>At least we can’t be arrested for crossing the road in the wrong place and we can drink at a reasonable age

Haha yeah the drinking thing is stupid in the US. Jaywalking is rarely enforced unless you are suspected of a serious crime, or else running across a high-speed road in plain view of cops.

We have free speech in the UK but it comes with responsibility

Weapons don’t allow you to defend yourself… if that was true the number of gun deaths in the US would be lower
