The British often ridicule America as a violent, backward place where your kid will get shot in school. All I can say is that at least most of our school shooters, in their minds, had a serious grievance with the people they shot compared to the yobs of Britain who get their shits and giggles from cutting up old women and their dogs.
America may have more violent crime, but at least our violence tends to be motivated primarily by normal, mundane motives. Even most inner city crime is related to the vice trade. If there is one thing we don't deal with very much, it's stuff like this where gangs of kids and teens prey on the elderly and the others they suspect as being easy targets and hurt them for simply no reason other than they can.A disabled woman was slashed repeatedly with a knife after confronting a gang who had stabbed her dog to death in her garden.
The mother-of-three, who has not been named, discovered the mutilated body of her Yorkshire terrier Willow lying in a pool of blood outside her door.
Seconds later she was confronted by four men who threatened her, forced her back into the house, in Knotty Ash, Liverpool, and then attacked her with a knife.
The 38-year-old suffered 'numerous' cuts to her body and had to be treated in hospital.
Police have arrested a 13-year-old boy on suspicion of carrying out the assault, which took place at around 2pm on Sunday.

I totally agree.
The kind of evil that is growing in the UK is indicative of (in my opinion) a secular society for whom God is a myth and therefore 'man' must be the center of the universe.
It is truly scary.
Indeed. What's also scary is that the secularists out there cannot even bring themselves to do what should be natural here, which is mercilessly remove all of these violent criminals from society. Modern western secularism seems like the worst, godless variation of Christianity there is in how it grants so much mercy, to those who deserve it so little, so that they face no accountability for horrendous crimes on this side of eternity.
Sadistic violence is what it is - violence as play and for fun - as presaged in Clockwork Orange. It would be appropriate to meet it with a Col. Cooper-level of overt-violent response -- but Secularists are unable to divide between good and bad, and equivocate that it is all the same. A moral person would recognize that it's not.
Retributive justice would certainly do wonders to stop this sort of crime problem...
