"Evidence compiled by the Crime Prevention Research Center shows that the sources the media relied on undercounted the number of instances in which armed citizens have thwarted such attacks by an order of more than ten, saving untold numbers of lives. Of course, law-abiding citizens stopping these attacks are not rare. What is rare is national news coverage of those incidents.

CPRC notes, "The FBI reported that armed citizens thwarted 4.4 percent of active shooter incidents, while the CPRC found 34.4 percent.""

Þó ríkið og stofnanir þess séu skaðlegar og gagnslausar, þá vilja þær halda öðru fram.  Og fólk trúir því, rátt fyrir engar vísbendingar fyrir því.

"William Snyder, the sheriff of Martin County, told TCPalm that he doesn’t expect looters to calm down, fearing the worst. He said looters already went on a spree of stealing and ransacking structures “very early” after the Category 4 storm made landfall in western Florida last week.

"It was very early and some of the looting was starting already, but it will get progressively worse, I think, as people become more desperate," Snyder, who was dispatched as part of a 15-person rapid response team on Sept. 30 to assist in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in Charlotte County, told the publication.

Shortly after the team's arrival in Charlotte, officials encountered dazed residents, as well as several pretty sketchy people looking for water, food, and fuel, but nobody was arrested at the time."

"The number of people aged over-18 on the island has fallen from 138,000 in 2017 to 118,000 in 2022, according to the document.

While falling birthrates are a common problem in the region, Taiwan has the distinction of having one of the world’s lowest. With only 153,820 births reported last year, there seems to be no end in sight to the low birthrate trend, according to the report."

"Speaking to GB news last night, Mrs Farrow said: 'I have been arrested for what was a twitter spat about gender issues.'

She tweeted: 'I know it's procedure, but one minute I am cooking some roast chicken for dinner, the next I am having my socks searched for drugs, because of 'insulting posts on the internet.'

'It's scary that the police can take someone's word for something and just come and arrest you. All they could say is 'we've had an allegation which needs to be investigated''.

Mrs Farrow was investigated by the same police force in 2019 over allegations she had used the wrong pronoun to describe a transgender woman."
