Critical Incident *breaking news* - Another stabbing!

[potatolord]

Obviously the best solution is for everyone to have a state issued katana.

Spears are better for your average Joe.

I see the usual clowns who don't understand the word terror are out in force!

Just wanted to add, he has very poor form with that Ken*, based on the short video.

Edit: he has his thumb over the tsuba. Just ugh.

*the better name

This was my first thought. I wonder what would happen if a member of the public ran him over to save others?

A similar incident happened last year. A guy stabbed his ex to death then a member of the public rammed into him to stop it, he died from it.

Rishi Sunak criticises Sadiq Khan's record on knife crime

Rishi Sunak says knife crime has risen in London under Sadiq Khan - while he criticised Tory cuts.

www.bbc.co.uk

Rishi Sunak has claimed rising knife crime in London will “shine a spotlight on the reality of Labour in power” at this week’s local elections.

The prime minister said that under Sadiq Khan, London was the only place in the UK not to meet its police recruitment targets.

A new report has found violent crime increased after the closure of 70% of the capital’s police stations under Tory-led austerity policies.

New research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), external shows that the closure of 70% of London’s police stations due to austerity policies since 2010 led to an 11% increase in murders and assaults in nearby neighbourhoods.

Station closures lowered “police deterrence” and increased levels of violence, the report said.

It added: “The impact is driven not only by reduced police visibility around closed stations but, more importantly, by longer response times."

Cause and effect.

If i lived in London i would buy a stab proof vest. They might go for your face / neck but most likely they will go for your torso somewhere.

There are virtually never stabbings where i live, they just jump you in a little gang of chavs and beat you up and run off.

I just wouldn't live there. If I did I couldn't afford a nice area.
No way would I want to wear a Bullet proof vest in summer. Sweaty!

Why are they all just parked there? Run him over.

What are the odds that the offender is already known to the police?

Whenever I think of stabbings I think of knives but this dude is just walking around with a sword...... And they're just watching.

What do you want them to do? Just wander up to the nice man and ask him if he can please hand over the sword and we'll say no more about it. Unless the police are armed they're, quite rightly, going to be standing well clear of him.

I was just making an observation because it's quite surreal. I wouldn't be in a rush to approach someone with a sword either.

Well, at least it's a little different, but the man clearly hadn't learnt the way of the samurai.

I usually have to pay extra for that.

Ladbrokes just called to say that they won’t take that bet.

FWIW my pal is a nut case and recently formally trained to be a Jedi light saber expert. Yes it is a real thing

If he does any formal training with swords, every movie fight scene will be forever ruined for him.

A lunatic with a sword in the US didn’t have a good time.

Warning: swearing possible, person getting shot.
