I had a family member who played at a big name college football program in the 90s. His GPA, he once told me, was a 0.5. ZERO POINT FIVE.

100% of time spent on this is wasted, but at least 6 people have been arrested for vandalism, with another 10 or so citations or police reports. No details yet, AFAIK.

Thank you. I appreciate the added context. These sorts of posts are a big part of the value I find in this site.

But I do think a bunch of rebels writing these words “ A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state” has a meaning that is broader than everyone has guns so the British can’t come back
More importantly, it's a statement that the Monopoly on Violence is not held by The State, but by The People, and the State is merely the instrument by which we make the enactment of the monopoly regular and orderly.
This is a charge and responsibility at which the State can fail.

Yeah, pretty much. If the higher numbers are accurate, I would expect it's similar to the mass social services fraud happening in the US. Import culture with massively higher predilection for anti-social behavior -> actively hamper normal enforcement methods for culture war reasons -> imported culture realizes and spreads how easy it is to get away with it -> massively higher predilection evolves into staggeringly higher offense rate.

I can believe that the UK has a higher rate of sex crimes than Ireland, but I do not believe it is over 100 times higher.
How does it compare to Pakistan? Is there any reason to think we have reliable statistics?

I don't think it's a moral/ethical defense, but rather a sort of realpolitik analysis of why things are happening the way they are.
Sure ,but there are implications that follow from that, such as the total loss of moral standing from the people being so analyzed.
Maybe it's my latent American Millennial Progressive bleeding through, but imagine this. Imagine that Latino gangs were doing this to black girls. Imagine that over the last 25 years, they had kidnapped, drugged, gang raped, and sex trafficked somewhere between 125,000 and 1.25 million underage black girls. Imagine if the defacto policy of the US government was to suppress any reporting, prosecute members of the community who spoke out, and literally gave escaped sex slaves back to the cartels responsible. Imagine if they blithely dismissed any calls for action, while reacting with utter fury and the full force of the state against any black parent who tried to protect his daughter. Imagine if, when pressed, the retreated to "Well, they're just ni**gers. You know how those girls are. Sluts were probably asking for it. What do you want us to do about it? What about the taco trucks and MLB players?"
I've lived through two generations of guilt and shame and atonement for vastly lesser offenses. The British establishment and middle classes come out of this looking like inhuman monsters.

Kier Starmer, as Director of Public Prosecutions, let 13,000 suspected rape gang members and pedophiles off with warning letters.
Andy Burnham appears to believe that the problem has already been fixed because they produced a report from an inquiry.

And the reason for that is precisely that your daughter is safe if you are someone who matters.
Everyone has heard of "damning with faint praise". I'm not sure what to call this. "Defense by appeal to damnation?"
If the defense of the British establishment is just "Who cares, they were poor?" then said establishment can kindly shut the fuck up forever on all other moral matters. They have no right to opine about anyone or anything else. Their every utterance will be dismissed with a Soviet-style "And have you stopped raping the poor girls?"
Forget "drummed out of public life", such an establishment would deserve to be violently purged. Genuinely worse than the history of racism in the US, and casually, without a shred of decency, grace, or remorse. More deserving of anti-Apartheid levels of hostility and scorn from the decent peoples of the West than Rhodesia and South Africa.

In sports, there are not actually "Men's leagues" and "Women's leagues". There are "Women's leagues" and "Open leagues". The Women's leagues are a special category created because they generally can't offer table stakes level competition in the Open leagues.
Just so with prisons.

I think the real figure might be an order of magnitude lower
Ah, so only about 6 times worse than the total number of victims in the entire history of the KKK. I guess that means it should just be ignored, and the UK government should keep right on covering it up, using the criminal justice system to suppress discussion and objection, arresting parents who complain, feeding escaped girls right back into the hands of their abusers, and smiling benignly while police officers participate in the gang rapes.
Even if that number is overshot by an order of magnitude, there is no curse in Elvish, Entish or the tongues of Men for this treachery. The last lynching style murder in the US we executed 2/3s of the perpetrators and gave the only one who showed remorse a mere life sentence. The British should extrapolate that number out.

I would assume it's not the SOTA stuff, but the total failure is still inauspicious.

The air defenses were what I was talking about. In both Iran and Venezuela they accomplished nothing and purportedly the anti-stealth features were wholly inadequate.

Depends on the undesirable. Vagrant idiot criminal? Sure, from certain perspectives. High ranking guy who points out that the horse is actually a deer? Less so.

Why are they grinning? A fat, orange, brain damaged clown with leukemia just tore through the military tech they've sold multiple other countries like wet tissue paper. The time to catch up is time for their own demographic and economic issues to implode. Their septugenarian despot has reduced his public activity after his rumored third stroke. Meanwhile, our newly minted octogenarian carrot clown is up at 3 AM on social media talking shit after hosting a bracing round of gladiator bouts.
It's easy to talk tough when anyone who disputes your claims gets to be an involuntary organ donor.

He does not deal in facts, he deals in narratives.
So do most of the rest of you. The difference is, Trump's narrative is simple enough to still have a relationship with basic observable reality. Half of your class doesn't know what a woman is.

Because even taking all of that impotent screed as a given, he still outperforms pretty much all of the rest of our expert class.
How much more pathetic are the rest of them then?
How much sillier a joke the other nations of the world?

This tactic is not available for the vast majority of people on account of not having 100s of millions in unrealized capital gains.

It seems like it's mostly driven by a hatred of inequality and a desire to collect one's pound of flesh.
More by a seething envy. It's really something watching people worth 10's of millions tantrum about Musk theoretically hitting a trillion.

There is good and bad in this. I honestly think a factor in Russia's last few rounds of aggression were "Kennedy School term paper" thinking, spoken out loud by Obama and Biden. Having an opponent clearly lay out their priorities, thinking, and risk tolerance gives you a powerful amount of information that just doesn't exist with Trump, especially if he's weaponizing leaks like the Tucker Carlson thing.
Oh, he went on to a successful career.
