London just passed New York in Homicide rate for the first time ever, doesn't seem to have worked too well.

That is based on severe cherry picking of data - just one month (February 2018) and small absolute numbers (11 vs 15). On longer sampling intervals the rate is still quite a bit higher in NY:

Yes, they’ve been cutting government services. Some parts of London are effectively lawless because there is not enough police to cover everywhere.

Mental health, social services, youth and gang intervention have been underfunded.

Sure would be nice to have a gun to protect yourself when the police aren't able to.

No parts of London are effectively lawless. That's fox news leaking out of you.
