feel sorry for that delivery driver... can see the pain in his eyes
M Choppy plus it looks like he wasn’t insured either - even though he said it was 3rd party only. Just looks like a guy trying to make ends meet, probably borrowed the scooter off a mate/family member. Maybe I’m thinking too deep into it but things I heard and seen this is my take on it. Everything happens for a reason and it all works out in the end.
He is fit and well take the loss move on

What kind of rat robs someone in a wheelchair?
And stabs them apparently like how horrible do you have to be they've obviously got enough in their lives i mean i understand if maybe theyre nit the nicest person because not everyone is but there no need to do what they did in any way possible
@@jackmatthews8468 excuse me but what
@Rose I could comeback saying white people have empathy deficits and do mass shootings but no since it wouldn't solve anything and every race robs their own kind or robs different races even if they are disabled
😂😂
The type that wants to eat
i dont think its ok to stick camares in someons face after being robed
I agree but obviously if it was without permission then they wouldnt have stuck cameras in his face because it's illegal in uk to post someone's face online without their permission and the police can get involved and their business would be terribly sued

I got mugged on a bus, upper deck. None of them wore any face masks, you can see there faces so easily. Went to the police station after, waited 45 minutes, and still, nothing. The police only take action if there's death or injury
The politicians are to blame they disarmed the law abiding population, You cant even get a Conceal Carry license in the UK, Criminal Teens can run around and stab hard working law abiding citizens and steal their money and livelihood like the delivery guy on the motorcycle.. Liberalism is a Disease that causes extreme stupidity! the citizens of the UK have been disarmed and left at the mercy or lack thereof from the criminal gangs. The Police will never be able to stop this they are outnumbers and it is impossible for them to be everywhere at all times. you have to be delusional if you believe that the police can fix this problem. you want a real solution that will work, allow the law abiding citizens to conceal carry! Force your government to adopt a gun right's amendment like the US> second amendment.

The result is that the criminals have knives and not guns, it’s not great but 1000 times better than Detroit
Thing is though the fact that in 2018 NYC murder rate per capita was 3.42 per 100K while London's was 1.52 per 100K.While someone can commit a murder with a knife it's much more difficult than a gun. Example GB(real name Rhyheim Barton) was stabbed a couple times before he got shot to death and lived because the knife missed his heart by a little(was stabbed repeatedly in that instance). He died because of a single bullet wound to the head. It takes multiple stab wounds in the right places done from close range to kill someone, while one bullet shot from 50 yards away can do the trick.

It's so awful that this is happening but I'm glad that schools and news stations are starting to teach about knife crime more and educate people on the dangers of it like how often it happens etc
Islam is the only solution to the problems of mankind
Fun fact, in Poland all knives are legal (not the hidden one, like key knife etc.) and knife crimes are really rare.
Where I live in the US, there are absolutely no knife laws whatsoever. You can own and carry any type of knife you want, and it's perfectly legal. We have almost no violent crime of any type.
I wish these idiots would stop focusing on the weapon and work on the actual cause of the problem, which is cultural.
@@thepenultimateninja5797 That's true. UK don't know how to fight with this problem.
Poland is not Londonistan...
Polish people and polish goverment know what is the right way.
@@thepenultimateninja5797ou may just live in a good area. Not everywhere in the Uk suffers from this, whereas in the Us they mainly have gun crime which explains the lack of knife crime as your much more likely to get away.
@@Jac296 The vast majority of the US is extremely safe, with just a few tiny geographical areas that have a lot of gang activity.
Sometimes these areas are as small as a few blocks, but they are so incredibly violent that they are world famous.
As for the second thing you said, if I understand at you're saying correctly, then it looks as though you think guns are a lot more dangerous than knives.
That's true from a distance, but up close (like in the kind of gang violence we are currently seeing) there's really not all that much difference between a gunshot wound from a handgun and a stab wound from a 4" or longer knife.
Guns are a lot less deadly than is commonly believed, and knives are a lot more deadly than most people give them credit for.
As an offensive weapon, it doesn't matter much whether you have a gun or a knife.
However, as a defensive weapon, a gun is better than a knife, because it allows you to keep your distance. A handgun is a tool for stopping a fight somebody else started.
My point though, is that the real problem isn't the guns or knives, it's the gang activity.
So the BBC witness a robbery instead of helping the man who or calling the police it's best to interview someone who is in shock and lost all his money smh
tadie.368 gxz they probably did call the police or maybe someone else already was and what are they gonna do anyway stop the robbers and potentially get stabbed hahaha its just property no point in dying over that lol

''Teenagers'' is the go to word when reporters don't like to say the obvious. Same in America - it's always the ''teens''.
I think they use the word teenager because it really does shock people when they here that people commit crimes at such a young age. Some people like to blame other generations, but this is not blaming other generations when its reality. Every generation has its problem, and it seems like my generation has this as a problem
You're obviously not from the UK. Knife violence is extremely prevalent among young people. You don't know anything about the situation so you should be quiet unless you're willing to educate yourself. This is not media propaganda, this is life in the ends.
Sandy Abbott it is always the teens, statistically speaking 88% of crimes involving knifes are teenagers. So of course it is the teenagers to blame
Correct.
Then you have got your facts twisted. I've seen a lot of gangs who do organised crimes involve whites, and I've seen multi race gangs which have Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians and other races in one Gang, and its not rare either. And even back in the day White gangs we're more dominant for example: Italian mafia, Irish mob, British mafia, Russian mafia, Serbians, Albanians, etc. And even today those gangs exist. Matter fact most Black members get their weapons like: Guns and Samurai Swords, Machetes etc. From white or other gangs of a opposite race so you're mistaken. The only time a black person would likely refuse a white in their gang would be in Amercia due to the racial differences being much worse over there even though we have our fare share in the UK.

don't you see these criminals are mocking us?, don't you see that they recognise they can do whatever they like to anyone they like without the fear of them defending themselves?, don't you see that the police can't respond in time to an incident like this to catch the perpetrator's?
the only way we can stop this is by allowing responsible civilians to own and carry the arms they require to defend themselves.
and don't think "that would never work, then criminals would just get their hands on guns", they already have got their hands on guns, and the person that should know that better than anyone else is Ross Kemp

the town i live in is mainly populated by elderly people (the perfect target for robbery as they have a pension and are quite weak)
If someone does break into my home i'm going to do whatever i can to defend myself and my family
the only problem is that i know if i do i will likely go to jail for the next few decades of my life at the least.
Please if you only take one thing away from this today make it this, Would i be able to defend my life and my family's life if it was threatened?
if your answer was yes, you need a reality check
if your answer was no, you should think about how you could
but ill tell how you could, you could demand that we responsible British citizens deserve the right to defend ourselves from attackers, and require the right to bear the tools to do so.
America's guns are THE problem in america
they represented roughly 90% of all school shootings in the world in 2021, if you get a gun, these cats will get guns too, and trust me you're in bigger trouble
I'm from the UK, but I emigrated to the US in 2009.
In my town, it is extremely common to carry a gun. I don't think I even know one guy who doesn't have a carry permit, and a good portion of the women do too.
As you might expect, our rate of violent crime is almost zero. You would have to be out of your mind to try and mug or rape someone here - it would be suicide.
Law-abiding citizens owning guns is not the problem, in fact it can be part of the solution.

Maybe London should borrow a squad of Oakland CA Cops for a month or two....am sure the crime/people doing the crime would reduce a little.
