      Is it that time of year where we debate whether this is normal or not already?

      Move the thing into a stadium with pay to enter and use the money to have a private security. Stop wasting police time, resources and tax payers money.

    3. That’s a very low number in context of the volume of people that attended. 

    4. Two is actually a really low number and would indicate a significant policing success.

      This is worse than the Cordão da Bola Preta, the largest Rio street carnival

      Who is saying it is normal because of the number of people attending already lost their mind

      I don’t think it should be banned myself.

      Obviously I’m one person, I’m not going to see everything that goes on, but to me it seemed like a really good carnival today, that unfortunately had some bad things happen to some people. I did see an arrest, but i don’t think it should be banned.

      Have just come back from carnival. The most dangerous thing experienced is the 50,000 steps I’ve done – feet are throbbing

      As a proportion of attendees though, that’s very low. And while zero stabbings and no arrests would be preferable, anything that requires people to gather carries the risk of some nasties – music festivals often end up with reported rapes or drug deaths for example.

      It’s not really my kind of thing but the annual fixation on crime at this specific event is weird.

      Could someone do the math of 2 in 2 million as a per capita number please?

      I know how some people love those per capita numbers.

      I absolutely love the yearly tradition of Reddit getting outraged at NHC.

      Why did they lead with stabbings when the breakdown itself was also interesting

      From the article:

      „32 assaults on police

      46 possession of offensive weapons

      70 possession of cannabis

      32 possession of Class A drugs

      44 drug supply offences

      5 robberies

      4 incidents of violence with injury

      36 other violent offences

      18 sexual offences

      136 other offences“

      If this is what happens in Notting hill carnival I wonder what a regular huge event does numbers wise in terms of these things.
