[Redacted]

Great Britain is so Great!

Waste Britain.

[Kardan]

I'm sure there's more shootings in the US.

[drama]

Thats a lie, but there is a lot. Maybe 5%? Which is alot. Thats 1 in 20.

if it was 79% then it'd be around 16 in 20..

[StefanCampbell]

Tbh NONE of my mates carry knives, so 79% is a wild guess, probably the governments statistics, they're always wrong. lol.

[N-Dubz]

Knives are used in about 8% of violent incidents, according to the BCS, a level that has largely remained the same during the past decade.

An guess what, the only thing to actually 'try' and change the people who stab peoples behaviour is this;
"Young people who carry knives will be made to visit hospitals where stabbing victims are treated, in a bid to shock them into changing their behaviour."
An more counceling for people who use knives.

Just a point of wasting money and trying to look like there helping when there really not.

[Janczyk]

Knife crime has always been a problem it's just got high publicity now black people are getting stabbed.

[alexxxxx]

well knife crime has gone down where I live.

but god they scare me.

[Leicester]

people who stab other should get stabbed themselves

[N-Dubz]

people who stab other should get stabbed themselves
Then there'd be no point telling them not to kill other people..

An the actual real reason knife crime is being publicised more is because there's been more stabbing's lately then alot of the time, all after eachother.
Like, 4 on the same day? :(

There trying to stop it, nothing to do with black people getting stabbed at all.

http://campaigns.direct.gov.uk/talkaboutknives/
They wouldn't make website's about it just for black people, its for everyone. They really need it to stop before it gets more out of control then ever.
Though alot of teenagers want to learn the hard way so.. ;)

[Virgin Mary]

It's publicised so much because it's teen stabbings but when they talk about statistics they include every stabbing e.g. husbands killing wives with knives out of jealousy. Also stab statistics cover anything used as a weapon with which to do that, not just knives.

[Jordy]

people who stab other should get stabbed themselvesI know people in Year 3 that could make more mature and constructive posts than that.

[Cisse9]

people who stab should go to jail.

[HotelUser]

I'm sure there's more shootings in the US.

Ah, but the USA has much more people.

[Leicester]

I'm sure you would, I'd like to see. However my apologies. I didn't mean it in that context. I meant that they should bring back in the death penalty, being stabbed is one of the worst deaths apparently. Before anyone says "they are dead so how do you know" well there is people who get stabbed and survive.

[ToxicPaddy]

70 a day! I don't want to sound stupid but I thought it was once every few days in somewhere like London. What's the world coming to :(

[IceNineKills]

It's only increasing because everyone gets released due to "prissions being full" and all that crap.

[Mitch4?]

On radio other day i heard
"Whilst gordan brown is trying to attack knfie crime it isnt going down well considering that 5 people have been stabbed in the past 48 hours"
So i highly doubt it's 70.
But yano lots of statistics are madde up

[RhymeThatGrime]

Heck, you clearly don't remember the Ipswitch ripper?

[Naythi.]

It scares me to think I live in the UK.
It's dreadfull, there's more than 70.. Think about how many people just 'disappear'.

[Leicester]

70 is a lie anyway as if.

[Virgin Mary]

It's stabbings not deaths from stabbings.

[Geraint]

According to the mirror today, there were over 130,000 knife crimes in England and Wales last year and that doesn't include under-16s.

[N-Dubz]

70 is a lie anyway as if.

I don't see why you think it's a lie.

[Leicester]

I don't see why you think it's a lie.

There is no proof, and I haven't seen "70 stabbings a day" on the news or newspaper anywhere.

[N-Dubz]

There is no proof, and I haven't seen "70 stabbings a day" on the news or newspaper anywhere.

Why would they put that in news or newspaper? An I'd say there was roughly 70, or maybe more.

Dont understand how your lead to believe that many people cant be stabbed a day.. :S

[Leicester]

They usually publish articles like these in the news and newspapers. He hasn't even got a source.

[drama]

Why would they put that in news or newspaper?
why woudn't they? the media love this kind of stuff.

[efq]

I'm sure there's more shootings in the US.
US is also 100 times bigger than us.

[N-Dubz]

They generally enjoy writing about the actual people getting stabbed instead of how many people get stabbed.

[Fehm]

If it scares you, use the pic in my DP =]
Lol

I hate it, truly hate it.

[Fugato]

I'm not being racist or nothing, but if it's a white person who isn't "popular", no-one cares, but if it's a black person, everyone is like "OMGZ RACIST ATTAK!!1".

[Clarissa!!!!]

oh dear :[

[N-Dubz]

I'm not being racist or nothing, but if it's a white person who isn't "popular", no-one cares, but if it's a black person, everyone is like "OMGZ RACIST ATTAK!!1".

No its not? If a black boy/girl gets stabbed its usually by there own colour, and no one see's it as a racist attack unless its actually stated it was.

An not all those boy's that have been stabbed that got showed in the paper have been "popular".

[Nemo]

Well, atleast they aint all deaths '-_-

[Virgin Mary]

I'm not being racist or nothing, but if it's a white person who isn't "popular", no-one cares, but if it's a black person, everyone is like "OMGZ RACIST ATTAK!!1".
Proof?

[benjamin]

I'm sure there's more shootings in the US.
the u.s is a hell of a lot bigger :rolleyes:

[Throne Sofa]

people who stab other should get stabbed themselves
And what will you acheive via doing that? Two people stabbed rather than one... Great logic! ;)
