Knife crime crisis my arse.

Fuck off,

can I ask how long you were in intensive care coz some cunt stuck you because you caught him stealing an ashtray?

I have lay on a floor in a pool of my own blood and partly digested food, looking at two ends of my own severed bowel as they spilled out of my abdomen because some twat thought it was socially acceptable to carry a blade. He was going for my oppo, from behind, with the blade and shouted ‘Im going to fucking kill you’ in front of four witnesses. In getting my mate out of the way, I missed my block and took it in the guts. It took 16 pints of blood on transfusion, 6hrs in theatre, 3 goes with a defibulator including intra-cardial adreniline, 2 days in IC, 6 days in an HDU, then another 2 weeks on ward before I was fit enough to go home

He got 30 months probation and 50 hours community service, I got threatened with an ABH charge from the injuries he sustained while I politely removed him and the knife from my personal space (!)

If you would like, I could post pictures of the scars, or do you get the picture?
This was 8 years ago, no-one I worked with at the time is still working CP or door security. I see kids every day with concealed weapons, everythings from knucks and such to knives and guns and I have had enough. There is a weapons crisis in our cities, and it is suburban and rural now too!

jeez, that’s pretty deep gentleman_rougue. It’s exactly the problem i was on about. Kids walk around with knifes these days not only thinking it’s not a big deal, but not caring about what’s going to happen to them if they use it. And not understanding the consequences.

If it wasn’t a problem in the UK, they wouldn’t start recording it seperately to other crimes, like they have just started to do.

I neerly lost the tip of my middle finger on my left hand when some twat tried to mug me for my jacket.

Funny thing was, I was in a group of 3 large blokes and he was on his own.

I kept my jacket and my finger. And gained a scar.

GR, glad your here to tell the tale.

I’m sorry this all happened to everyone, but you getting stabbed doesn’t constitute a “crisis”. A one-off incident only tells me the possibility of it happening, not that it happens all the time. And I wasn’t trying to give you a personal insult by suggesting, though knife crime is high, it’s just the latest thing money-hungry paranoia-feeding shite like The Sun has decided to jump on to boost sales and make people shit themselves.

Remember when paedos were taking over the world? That’s right, well, has that problem gone away? Nope, it hasn’t, but the papers got tired of it so stopped reporting it, and so it fell out of consciousness. The same thing will happen with knife crime eventually.

Again, I’m not saying it’s not bad and doesn’t happen, and possibly saying “my arse” was a bit too damning. But it was more a shot at the media that they’ll forget there ever was a problem in a few weeks, when people lose interest. And I’m sorry to be “controversial”, or rather not, but it seems to me that being black and in a gang on a council estate leaves you the biggest chance of being stabbed. No, I’m not being racist, or ignorant, it’s the truth. It’s not the knives that are the problem, it’s the fact that the kids have no regard for human life whatsoever, because their parents can’t be fucked to teach them about it, and it’s left to American gang culture and a fucked-up sense of “pride” and “honour” to teach them what they think life is about.

Sadly, the media talking about it so much normalises it in a sense. Telling young people they all carry knives will make some think “Shit, are they? I’d better have one too so I don’t get fucked up”. By talking about it so much and making such an agenda out if it, it brings it more into the open, and doesn’t demonise it at all. I have no problem reporting facts and offering solutions, but making people shit themselves and making them afraid to go out on the street doesn’t help anyone. 20 deaths of young people in London is terrible, and shouldn’t happen. But if you look at how many of those put themselves into that position by their own behaviour and “culture”, that list gets smaller. If you take out the killings by the random psychos that always happen and are unavoidable, the list gets even smaller. How many young people are in London? I’d love to know the statistic for the relative chances of being a stab victim, because they’re pretty fucking small compared to how likely the media is making it seem at the moment.

The truth is, for some reason the media is insistant on making us believe we can’t do anything anymore without fear of dying. Well that’s true, you can’t. I could drop dead any second from a heart defect or something and I’d have no fucking clue. But don’t make people think about it all the time, it doesn’t help anyone at all. Reporting every mugging and theft that happens doesn’t add to anyone’s daily life, all it does is serve to make people frightened. And for what? It serves no purpose at all. It’s a bizarre culture we’ve created where we feed off negativity when it comes to news stories, but we do it for some reason.

Anyway, just to clarify, knives are bad, I’m not shitting on anyone’s experiences, I just think it’s overblown, and another media fad that they’ll lose interest in way before the problem actually goes away.

I get what your saying fitch as you just reiterated what i said. But please stop reading The Sun, read a broadsheet like the times or the guardian as they don’t decide when “peados can and can’t take over the world”. it’s not a fad that knive crime is at a high thats created by the papers. It’s a problem. Yes, most of the victims will be involved in gangs… but hey fitch, they still count when they fucking die. They’re still kids being effected by the knive crime crisis we are involved in.

Oh yeah, I’m not saying they don’t count at all. I’m just saying, screaming “The knives will kill us all!” isn’t the way to solve the problem. And I don’t read The Sun, only skimming over it at work. Don’t get me started on the Telegraph or the Express. I tend to read The Times. I don’t let tabloids have an effect on me, but the morons at work are proof enough that that affect a hell of a lot of people.
