Stab vests are to be brought into the UK!

[myke]

Yes, five news said tonight that teachers, traffic wardens, civil servants and public workers will be receiving them very shortly..

My one thought is:
'Whens mine coming?'

;)

[dirrty]

teachers?
is that in all parts of uk or just areas with high rates of stabbing?

[Swearwolf]

TEACHERS LOL I want one too plz

[e5]

omg I would love one :D! haha

[ideabox]

I thought the students were being stabbed, not the teachers... =s

[Nereo]

I thought they already had them in the UK :)

[e5]

Clearly not..?

I think we should get them and not the teachers because like someone else said, since when were teacher's being stabbed? :S

[BlueTango]

Oh great, protect them... But don't protect the people who are actually getting stabbed lol [kids]

[Yoshimitsui]

Stab vests have been around.... ages?

I don't see why these people are recieving them though! I would like to see a more detailed article.

[BlueTango]

I'd enter hysterics of laughter at the sight of my teachers wearing stab-vests.

[ideabox]

My dad has one somewhere [he buys too much useless stuff the army nut that he is] <=)

[cocaine]

my dad has had one of them for years :P

Great but then they'd just stab you in the arm or face or leg. But I've always wanted to see the reaction of someone trying to stab someone with a vest on.

Mainly to protect the vital organs!

Exactly lol.

Would they be free?!

[shizzle]

Oh yeah! I need one of these. Make it stab and bullet proof and you got me wearing it.

[Alkaz]

It is a good idea to certain people but like if everyone had them people would jst go round more stabbing people even if they think they have a vest on or not people will keep stabbing people and then say ''they should have had a vest on'' so thats a bit silly but ye good idea!

[Charlie]

Oh great, because loads of kids work into school and stab their teacher. I guess it bets giving them an apple. :rolleyes:

[ideabox]

The most vital organ to me is the Brain, and thats not protected =( (apart from the skull) but if a triad ran towards me with a machete for my head I'd cry. :(

[Virgin Mary]

It doesn't matter, all they need to hit is an artery and you'll bleed to death.

[Moh]

Teachers usually wear clothes which you can't exactly hide a stab vest under.

[Minstrels]

I would laugh if my maths teacher had to wear one, the old dawg. Even better my English teacher! She wouldn't be able to put it on, hope they come in XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL.

[Oleh]

why not make a jacket instead itll be better

[lPinoy]

OMG.

what about teenagers?
we need protection too :(

[Zexe]

waste of time
the *****s who are stabbin' people now will do it more - and get more 'rep' for shanking someone with a steb vest on.
also, why do teachers need them, its not them who are bein stabbed.
waste of time

[--ss--]

They've always been in the UK but i'm guessing they're starting to hand them out and give them more publicity? Also why do teachers need them? :s


OMG.

what about teenagers?
we need protection too :(
We get condoms free, don't we?

[e5]

They look so good in the tank top lol, as jackets.. maybe but too warm. and they're only designed to protect your vital organs..

[Meanies]

I thought they already had them in the UK :)

I don't think teachers, traffic wardens etc have them, but the police do. I don't see why teachers need them. How often do you hear stories of teachers being stabbed in the UK, whilst teaching? not very often.

[flatface]

I don't think Teachers should have them, accept from in extremely rough schools were they might get threated alot. Traffic wardens etc should have them, because people they fine tend to hate them and might pull out a knife. lol

[Eight.]

Hmm... I don't understand... Teachers get one but students don't. Since when were the teachers I got to see a detailed report.

[Yoshimitsui]

If you really want one get one of ebay! Start a trend :eusa_whis

[flatface]

Its going to turn out like CCTV, soon everyone, everywhere will have a stab jacket probs.

[Jordy]

Hmm... I don't understand... Teachers get one but students don't. Since when were the teachers I got to see a detailed report.You would certainly moan if they became part of your compulsory school uniform. I think the money could be better spent having metal detector alarms and security guards at school, they do that in the USA sometimes.

Yes, or more police to deal with the knife/gun situation that the UK currently has.

[drama]

only read first page so i don't know if this has been said before, but they will just turn into a fashion statement really..

[Viruz]

wooo as a trusty civil servant ill get one lol. Although if i lived in London i would wear one any way.

[BlueTango]

I await the day that tazer guns are introduced.

[Viruz]

that would be great or we could carry mace so some guys jump you just mace them.

[Markness.]

Imo CS gas would be better than stab proof vests.
Its easily hidden, goes un-noticed and is more of a deterant.
A stab proof vest could probably be broken through, depending on the force and strenth of whoevers doing the stabbing.

[N-Dubz]

Stab vest's just look stupid, I dont care if it saves a life it looks idotic and you wouldn't walk around school/town in one..

An to someone who said something about Metal Detactors, they have that in some schools in my area, lmao! It dosn't stop after school fights, and people bringing weapons.
Most people are safe inside school, its just outside where you can get rushed..

I wouldn't wear a stab vest to school and I live in London, they look stupid and lame.

Meh, it's your life. :rolleyes:
Besides, I doubt it will catch on anyway. New ways to terrify people will emerge, pushing the boundaries even further and more unpredictibly terrifying i.e. setting people on fire with a can of petrol or a hammer to the head.
