So, the Seattle crowd was better armed than the Swedish crowd? It makes a nice theory, when do you present your argument behind it? On Wed, 11 Jul 2001 jamesd@echeque.com wrote:
In Sweden, Gothenburg, police fired into a crowd. Arguably they had just cause.
But US police, facing similar circumstances in Seattle, did not fire into the crowd.
I do not wish to suggest that Swedish police are a bunch of stormtroopers. They are not. But the general trend is that the more disarmed the population, the more apt the police are to open fire. That is not merely a matter of lawsuits and stuff, but an inevitable consequence of human nature.
