    Default London stabbings

    SIX stabbed to death in just 24 hours as Blade Britain's knife epidemic spirals out of control


    Now I'm getting scared to move there. What the fuck has happened to British culture? It seems like there's a big bunch of young people who are totally out of control? Fucking vickypollards...*thinking of getting an armour*

    Im glad I dont live there anymore is some respects as much as I still call England my home.
    In perspective though the odds of being stabbed / stabbed to death there are still pretty low, but it is horrible.

    I suppose for one thing it's good that the gun laws in the UK are tough, although it's a case of substituting one evil for another (they're getting cut instead of getting shot).

    I've heard/read teens say they have to carry their own knives for "defense/protection" from the other kids that are carrying...though that just throws everything into a vicious circle.

    And of course there's the media attention - I told a co-worker that was visiting my location temporarily that because most offenders aren't carrying guns, someone getting stabbed would make front page news (and in fact, someone did get stabbed & killed that particular night, though not in my town).

    I think Times had an article in April about many lower class British kids being out of control. Their attitude for life was really upsetting, it's like they had this society of their own with their own rules...unemployment, violence, teen pregnancies, drugs/booze, std's spreading... Uneducated, numb-minded -hell, if they lived in Middle-East they'd be perfect material for terrorists. It was like these people had regressed to a level where only basic needs, survival and pleasure matters. You would've never believed Britain being like this 50 years ago.

    Not saying that this only happens in the UK, it can be seen even in my welfare states of Scandinavia.

    Anyway, it's not right that kids/young people are carrying weapons of any kind. Seems like some politicians just don't want to admit that there are any problems because then they'd actually have WORK to do.

    Its getting so bad living here. There is no justice anymore. I read recently that the government doesnt want to send burglers to prison as they are overcrowded and they will get community service instead!!!
    We had a fatal stabbing in my town a few months ago, and its very scary when its close to home, it reminds you that you are no longer safe. I work in a hospital so get to know all of the emergencies that come in, only last week we had some teen stabbed, luckily he survived but its very scary.
    No wonder i wanna move to the states, i know you guys have your problems too but our country seems to falling to shit.

    Great. Here rapists and pedophiles get mostly only conditional sentences because if they were sent to jail then they'd loose their jobs. Only repeat offenders go to jail. Seriously! This one young guy even complained to the court that his sentence should be moderated because he got fired from his job and so he had suffered from the trial process. Since these crimes happen more often people are loosing their trust in the system. Oslo is a good example in its own class.

    It would be more understandable if the stabbings were just between gangs but random attacks on normal people, like that guy who went to get takeaway for himself and his girlfriend and never came back...so uncredibly sad.

    Maybe they should outlaw or license knives.
