As you Europeans continue to import Third Worlders, you are seeing a surge in the same kinds of crime that America has seen since the 1960s. I dare say that if you Europeans ever surpass America in your population of Third Worlders as a percentage of your total population, that you'll also surpass us in incarceration rates.</p> <p>You Europeans have been so smug...but karma will ensure that you'll pay for your smugness.</p> What you Europeans have ignored time and again as you’ve smugly bashed America is that so many of America’s problems are related to our large population of blacks.
