This is a false dichotomy. I prefer to take a train, a tramway or an underground. Besides self driving underground coaches are well understood and a mature technology, and trains are almos automatically driven. Yesterday a train engineer had an heat attack while approaching the train station. Train automatically stopped at the next red light, and the station manager alerted the paramedics, so no people was injured. The engineer is mainly here in case of abnormal situations like problems on train protection systems, fires or cows on the track.

Surprisingly it turns out that geese aren't the only thing that travel in flocks.

How well do you think your skull would hold up against a gang using hammers or a baseball bats?

I think what GP may be referring to is the actual underlying story here, which the BGR article linked seems to have wrong. Omar Famuyide was in fact brandishing a gun and pointed it at the victim's head, and said gun was found abandoned in the car (a white BMW) two days later.

He also fired a shot inside of a massage parlor:

And in case you consider those two sources to be somehow less reliable than BGR, here's a third source:

So yeah, he did in fact commit these crimes while brandishing a gun, and there are even a few photos of said gun.

... The UK has strict gun control, which is just as effective as posting "Gun-Free Zone" signs ...

Ahhh... the much coveted 'safe zones' by them islamophile liberals !!

When the citizens aren't allowed to arm themselves only the terrorists are armed, and the 130 innocent civilians who were butchered in Paris (along with 30 others in Brussels) can testify to how 'safe' the 'safe zones' turned out to be

With the name of 'Omar Famuyide' it shouldn't be any surprise that the moslem is involved in at least one attempted armed robbery --- http://www.birminghammail.co.u...

Broward sheriff dropping gunshot detection system
"the system was picking up noises such as firecrackers or a backfiring car and registering those sounds as gunfire. The sensors were also triggered by helicopters and the roar of downshifting trucks from nearby Interstate 95...the problems at BSO with the gunshot detection system mirror findings of a 2008 report...called the system useful but took issue with an apparent high rate of false calls."
