choffer Posted May 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2023 "Firearms incident" in Limehouse this afternoon too. Hopefully the fact that a school is within the containment area doesn't lead to a horrendous situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Another wannabe gangster. I mean to do this to a teacher how ever much you hate him is despicable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few minutes' walk away from my granddaughters' primary school. I mentioned this in the TTPYO thread and I'll say it again, Most youngsters nowadays seem to be little bastards than compared to that of say 10/15 years ago.. again, only talking from what I've witnessed and experienced. Before anyone wants to respond with some bullshit about past generations, biased and warped memories or being perfect ourselves, they might want to take a look at the current reality of these situations and whats actually going on outside their bubble. Yes, we might have all had 'moments' to degree when we were younger, but we didn't go round sticking knives in teachers - or each other for that matter!.

Rugeley Villa Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Tougher laws needed. Anyone caught carrying a knife should be automatically arrested for attempted murder . Wether they say it’s for protection or not, it’s a vicious circle. What’s up with just having a scrap. I detest people that carry knives and have no sympathy for them whatever their circumstances. There’s other weapons that could be used over a knife. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit harsh if you are brining a new kitchen set back from IKEA. It's easy to say things like that but there are obvious and legitimate reasons to have a knife on you at times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it’s a can of worms isn’t it and would never get passed in the court of law but it’s just an emotional thought from me. Then you’ve got the discrimination card being played etc etc . You get my gist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Just heard on radio up to two years if caught with laughing gas on you new law . Only 4 years for carrying a knife. It’s laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like needing to be surrounded by 5 or 6 people going into a fight. Nothing more than cowardly pieces of shit that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The disregard for life and nonchalance about killing is the most frightening thing. This isn't about the punishments it’s a society and mentality thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only a few hundred yards from where I used to live (just off Broadgate Lane) and I worked for a manufacturer in behind the McDonald's on the ring road. Surreal. Gets you wondering about the people I used to know around there (neighbours, colleagues etc) and how they're affected by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their mum is very concerned about how they will process this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 My daughter's school had 2 teenagers (females) turn up on the school grounds at the end of last term - both carrying knives! Thankfully, the police arrived before they could gain entry into the school. It's really getting out of hand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Funny story in a non funny topic - when I was in year 10, my mate (big japanese anime fan) brought an actual katana sword into school to show it to people. He was suspended for a week, of course he meant no harm, but c'mon - even at age 14 I knew this was a stupid thing to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well all cutlery like knives ive purchased online and had delivered to my house out of fear of getting pulled over ans asked why i got a knife on me Personally think no one under age 18 should be allowed to buy a knife and if you are caught with one under age you get the book thrown at you (unless you can prove you need it for your job) Edited November 8, 2023 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is now so it's already in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
