OMG!!! :eek:

A quote from that news article

Does that mean that 11 shop assistants were stabbed to death or maybe a shop assistant was killed 11 times.

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

cant belive you just asked that question it means he/she was stabbed 11 times like in the chest or where ever

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

its even harder to believe you fell fer neils sarcasm.:rolleyes:

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

I was not being sarcastic. I was pointing out the poor grammar in the article.

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

would that be poor grammar neil? :D

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

I do not see a problem with people carrying a knife. People have been using pocket knives for hundreds of years. I have one in my pocket all the time I am at work.

The problem is that some people stick them in other people. The problem is that when they are caught they are not punished enough to deter other people. Sticking a knife in someone should get you a minimum 10 years inside.

Yes it would be, I have corrected it now thanks.
I did not say I could spell :D

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

I thought these people had buyers who inspected the articles to be sold? If they had, they would surely have noticed, so i guess, the buyers dont exist anymore (cutbacks), are blind, or put the items on sale with full knowledge of the knives!

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

A minimum 10 years Neil, are you a judge in your spare time, your to soft:rolleyes:

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

Well what do you think someone should get for stabbing someone else without a damn good reason?

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

I agree with this to a point ( tried to give karma, apparently i have put out too much in the last 24 hrs ;)) but to be honest, what genuine need is there to have fashion items with knives?? Just asking for trouble. Especially for dozy birds such as myself, that would end up tripping up and skewering myself

There is none. I was just saying that knives themselves are not the problem, it is the owners of the knives.

I bet Primark bring ouit a cheaper version.:D

My grandson carried a knife for 6 years. He was a Scout, from age 11 to 16, and he always had his scout knife with him when in uniform. I own at least 6 extremely sharp knives; they live in a wooden knife block in my kitchen. Neither Peter nor I are the bravado-displaying, life-threatening, dangerous-on-the-streets type. It's a bit different from selling a potentially lethal weapon, to God alone knows who, concealed in a coat.

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

maybe the next one will be the hoodies that cover the whole face and built in knives..stab and run jackets?

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

I did not say what they did was right - it was not it was stupid.

I was just commenting on the whole knife crime thing.

This country likes to ban everyone from something because of a tiny minority. In this case it is that tiny minority that should be punished and not our boy scouts.

And your "potentially lethal weapon" comment is getting a bit tabloid paper ish. Everything is a potentially lethal weapon even the coat itself without the knife.

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

Perhaps I put it a little clumsily but actually, Neil, I was agreeing with you. (Oh and I don't read "tabloids" ;)).

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

You must have long arms then. I have to open broadsheets out on a table to read them.

I can't believe they have not all gone tabloid like the "compact Times" - then again it is still broadsheet on a Sunday.

I like how they call it the "compact Times" so they can try and avoid the tabloid stigma :D

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

I like pocket knifes, they can have a lot of uses at times you least expect it.

People aren't going to buy a coat for £30+ just for the knife, when they can get a bigger and sharper one from home.

I bought a sharp scalpel whilst I was under eighteen from an art shop. Nobody questions why I wanted it, but in reality that little and extremely sharp 1inch blade could easily scar someone for life or I could have decided I wanted to kill myself with it. Nobody checked at all and I suspect that if you look innocent enough you can get all sorts of sharp weapons without having to prove your age at all, especially those that already look older than their age.

There is no smoke without fire and whilst someone is always going to look terrible for providing these things to youths, whether it is purposefully or accidentally, I still think it should be tackled via the young people themselves.

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

Throw the flaming key away Neil, and there can be no good reason for carrying a knife in my mind

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

Have you never smoked a pipe?

Re: knife crime problems?? lets give them out free with a coat!!
 

yes:rolleyes:
