Omg. Knives :s

When they said knives are carried by alot of people I didn't believe them.

But my brother (Whos currently at Kings College Uni) got out of a taxi yesterday and saw a woman getting mugged by a ruggy man. My brother pushed him off and a knife fell out of his pocket.
It was similar to this according to my brother

When it fell out my brother held him to the floor and the sainsburys guards came over and held him there until the police arrived. My brother didn't get a thanks from the woman who got mugged because she was shaken up but the police & guards said thanks because he caught someone who had been continuously doing it.

God, knives everywere

i have loads in my kitchen but shhhh.

Really, it is a worrying problem. The media don't help the situation whatsoever.

lmao your signature makes me lol.

knives scare the hell out of me, I refuse to go out on my own at night.

Yeah, is getting a little out of hand now. People feel the need to protect themselves from others with weapons OR use them to get revenge for maybe bullying or something which then leads it back to what i said before (protection)

I think there should be more police out doing "stop and search" because frankly its getting to the point where people are afraid to go out/live a normal life

Its pathetic

Shows how easy it is to get knives these days.

i carry a pen knife

If I didn't have a knife to fight them off, I'd be dead.

I saw on the one show they got a girl and gave her money, shes 15 i think and said try buy as many knives as she can. She managed to buy loads including a massive knife.

I don't either dare go out at night. Don't like it at all.

It'll eventually become guns though cos most people have knives now so people are moving onto guns.

i carry a knife for protection :D

It really is getting beyond our control now.

Its actually pretty damn scary.

A knife is the most dumbest protective aid you could possibly cary. Worse than a gun in some sense.

When I'm out at night I usually have a can of spray paint on me, give it a quick blast to the face and just run.

Obviously, that's when I'm not up town - then I just rely on my mates to have my back.

I'm sometimes afraid of walking on my own at night, but thats because me and my friends got attacked at night by a group of people who went on to commit armed robbery fifteen minutes later.
I don't think theres anything we can do to stop people carrying knifes, there's more and more people everyday, probably for protection more than violence.

If you carry a knife or gun or w.e weapon.

If you attack them in self defence and they grab it or you drop it. What are you going to do now?

Yeah I've seen them, they'd chop your hand right off. :P


But, the British crime rate is rising due to the obvious understanding of our judicial system, and our crappy police, it's even easier to get away with murder, and if caught you get released early.

Because that's really helping the situation, it's nice that you care but seriously it really doesn't matter.

About a decade ago Guns were the thing, they successfully drove guns out of many parts of the UK, it's now knives what people use. So it's knives are the new guns not the other way round. Guns you can stop at least, knives it's very difficult.

Stop & Search's don't get the police anywhere, all these anti-racism groups make the situation worse because whenever a black man gets searched it's classed as racism, it's no wonder the police aren't stopping and searching people so much, they get moaned at whenever even though it's the governments fault.

I'd personally never carry a knife as if your caught there's some reasonable punishments and a criminal record...

Yeah exactly, search a white man, immediate arrest,
search a black man, you face being sued and losing your job for racism.

I don't think the whole thing about knives about people buying them is a problem. To get a knife, all you need to do is to go into your kitchen right?

I'm not going to pretend I understand the problems why people carry knives - I assume it's because everyone else does in gang-land areas.

Mostly, it's fear driven by the media-headlines of gangs.

Actually they search everyone down where I live now? There was a "people's day" fair thing, and everyone who went in was stopped and searched, bags removed, shoe's off and they searched you. Whereas 10 year's ago that wouldn't have happened - it shows there's way more threat.

Maybe its because life means so little nowdays, it can easily be ended and going to "prision" is no biggy honestly, people arn't scared of the consquences anymore. An thats just the truth right there!

I'm not scared going out I wouldn't take it that far lol. At the end of the day even if you carry a knife your planning to use it, end of and its people who think they should carry it for defence that are making the situation even worse.

Your brother's really brave, alot of people would walk on past nowdays. No one sticks up for anyone anymore its to much of a threat.

They should search obvious culprits i.e. people wearing tracksuits and flat peaks and that.

At least people aren't shooting eachother here.

It makes me really sad to see things like this. Britain has really gone down hill in the last 10 years.
I used to love my country, now...im not really proud to be British @ all. :(

er guns are much harder to get hold of. And obviously they'd get silencers because otherwise if you shoot someone the police would be down on you like a shot? :rolleyes:

Guns won't be primarily used in a long time.


The media advertise knife crime too much & I think that the death penalty should be enforced.
Why doesn't it really work in the US? I think because they allow them to wield guns...

Gun's are not hard to get in America anymore, how do you know it won't be that easy here soon.
So will police with knife crime, espically since the media are making it so public the police have to start taking proper action.

A life for a life? Your telling them NOT to kill people, and doing that to them make's sense dosn't it. What if you get the wrong person and they kill them? Think please.

It's not hard to get one because you can walk into a shop and buy one - that's why it's not hard.

Because by law you aren't entitled to have a gun, and in the current state I doubt the government will change it. Knowing ours they will though...

jeez that looks sharp

Yeah, tbh the knife crime just keeps going on.

Everytime I leave my house, theres a worry that I get stabbed or possibly killed.
I try to avoid going out at nights (and days) except when i go to school.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

I wouldent be able to stab someone lmao so wouldent carry one.

Loads of people have weapons in liverpool, somethin we gotta live with i suppose

Laws. In American anyone without a criminal record can have a gun. You can go to Walmart and get them. Here, on the other hand, you cannot get a gun.

LOL.
Perhaps because their laws allow them to purchase and wield guns in America? It is obvious that the UK wouldn't bring that in, especially after the obsession with murder and knives. Think please.

Er what? dnt get that bit.
But the media advertise it and youths are becoming more aware of the problems with knives and the fear and they do not fear to use knives nearly as much. If other people are doing it regularly and others find out about it they think that they can get away with it and is normal with all these regular murders.

Of course it makes sense. Seeing as it is happening so regularly it shows that people are not in fear of spending their life in jail. The death penalty will give them something to fear and they would so rarely commit the crime because of their fears. They feel like they are in power as they can take a life so easily by just stabbing a random person in the street. They would not be in power if they committed the crime as their life would not be in their hands.

What if you get the wrong person? Hah, that would so rarely happen. If it did not happen so very rarely then the USA would not be using the penalty. I think that the "What if they are not the real offender?!" response is so childish and stupid. It's the tiniest, tiniest chance of happening but people think that their morales are so important and correct that their argument against the death penalty is the more humane and the right side.



Think please.

I don't live in the UK, but I like collecting them. I never carry them around though.
