The 'knife angel' removing weapons from British streets

  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
  • Last week we looked at the growing crisis on our streets, with 2021 on course to become one of the worst on record for teenage homicides. Years of interventions and official initiatives seem to be making little impact, with 18 young people having been stabbed to death in London so far this year.
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
    We have been out with one community organisation, run by a man whose own experience of being stabbed has led him to try to rid the streets of knives.

      I do however agree in part about upbringing but until that changes we can only do so much and being proactive taking some of the “zombie” knives of the streets and other such stupid things it helps.
      I don’t put my life in the hands of the police either, none of what we do goes through the police at all we don’t report a single blade and everyone stays anonymous.

      I have a house in London and travel back and forth between America and the UK for years now as my family is from London and Tampa, Florida so I hold both citizenships. The cultural difference is honestly shocking in the UK at just how bold, aggressive, and confrontational English people are. Because you legally have no means to defend yourself English people just aren't scared to bully each other around on the street. Central London I see groups of men walking around in all black feeling powerful because of the number of people in their groups. They walk around bullying and looking for victims all the time. It's astonishing to see because I've never in my life seen that in America! Doing that is basically suicide. You will die with 1 bullet and it will be a legal kill. Now you're dead and the guy you tried to rob or bully gets to go home and eat dinner with his family after killing you and resuming a normal life.
      The fact that in London people rob with knives is really crazy. I'm not trying to sound like some typical cocky American... but man I hope these kids don't grow up and go abroad trying to rob people with a knife. Majority of everyone from 16 year olds to 40 year old soccer moms and elderly people walk around with a pistol tucked in their pants or purse. It's scary to know that in London people are so quick to rob and get physical with strangers. You just don't see that in America. People don't rob you on the street or try to pick a fight with you because there's more guns in America than there are citizens by 200%. Everyone minds their business and leaves you alone because it doesn't matter if you're 6' 5' tall and the man you're robbing is 70 years old 5' 2". When you both have guns you both have a 50/50 chance of survival.
      I personally when I'm home in America always have a Glock 30 with 1 hollow point bullet already in the head for my protection. Most of the gun violence we have are stupid kids grabbing their dad's gun out his safe and taking it school or pre-meditated gang targeting. You'd be surprised how low the crime rates are for guns in situations with 2 complete strangers who just got in an argument in public compared to knife crime between strangers in the UK. Guns keep Americans physically safe from each other in 99% of situations that would occur if we didn't have them. The UK has some of the MOST STRICT gun laws and self defense laws in the entire WORLD. If someone breaks into your house in the UK you basically need to cook them dinner and kiss their feet or they can sue you.

    I have a house in London and travel back and forth between America and the UK for years now as my family is from London and Tampa, Florida so I hold both citizenships. The cultural difference is honestly shocking in the UK at just how bold, aggressive, and confrontational English people are. Because you legally have no means to defend yourself English people just aren't scared to bully each other around on the street. Central London I see groups of men walking around in all black feeling powerful because of the number of people in their groups. They walk around bullying and looking for victims all the time. It's astonishing to see because I've never in my life seen that in America! Doing that is basically suicide. You will die with 1 bullet and it will be a legal kill. Now you're dead and the guy you tried to rob or bully gets to go home and eat dinner with his family after killing you and resuming a normal life.
    The fact that in London people rob with knives is really crazy. I'm not trying to sound like some typical cocky American... but man I hope these kids don't grow up and go abroad trying to rob people with a knife. Majority of everyone from 16 year olds to 40 year old soccer moms and elderly people walk around with a pistol tucked in their pants or purse. It's scary to know that in London people are so quick to rob and get physical with strangers. You just don't see that in America. People don't rob you on the street or try to pick a fight with you because there's more guns in America than there are citizens by 200%. Everyone minds their business and leaves you alone because it doesn't matter if you're 6' 5' tall and the man you're robbing is 70 years old 5' 2". When you both have guns you both have a 50/50 chance of survival.
    I personally when I'm home in America always have a Glock 30 with 1 hollow point bullet already in the head for my protection. Most of the gun violence we have are stupid kids grabbing their dad's gun out his safe and taking it school or pre-meditated gang targeting. You'd be surprised how low the crime rates are for guns in situations with 2 complete strangers who just got in an argument in public compared to knife crime between strangers in the UK. Guns keep Americans physically safe from each other in 99% of situations that would occur if we didn't have them. The UK has some of the MOST STRICT gun laws and self defense laws in the entire WORLD. If someone breaks into your house in the UK you basically need to cook them dinner and kiss their feet or they can sue you.

Sometimes the beefs are too deep and too personal, more than just wanting to deal drugs on another territory, it’s basically a story of retaliation and revenge that never ends.

They told me I had to get the witness to come forward! The witness doesn't want to go to the police because of their lifes issues. All the police said was, "That must have been scary!" I thought you should be a Police Officer with observation skills like that! Remember folks those 4 men should not be approached as they are armed and dangerous, and they are still at large, I recomend noone approaches these men who are still at large nearly 44 years later. And the Police are refusing to investigate this heinous crime, If anyone has any idea how I can get justice for this, then drop me a message!

    As an American, "knife crime" sounds lovely and thats heartbreaking. You can't drive by knife someone, children aren't being caught in the knife-fire, kids aren't accidentally "knifing" themselves to death. 14,000 people have died thus far in 2023 from guns. We're 5 months in to 2023. How honorable that the UK is taking 300 deaths seriously. People wont stop killing others if there are no or less guns however 330 deaths a year vs 14,000 in 5 months is something.
    I want to be clear, i am NOT diminishing their knife problem. Just because one is worse, doesn't make the other "not terrible." I just think people in the US are so used to crime and violence that seeing three hundred doesnt seem crazy. And that is crazy. That was what I am attempting to convey

I reported the incident to the police however I live (and therefore run) in a very rural area and there was no video evidence of the incident so the police said it would be my word against my assailants and they recommended that I equip myself with a personal camera. I tried 3 different options but none recorded a clear image and I now feel that my only option is to arm myself when running near my home. Sad to say that the police would rather protect themselves (and their ex-colleagues) than the general public. We need to protect ourselves any way we can.

    How unearth is this being allowed to happen in Britain. The fruits of 1948 i’m devastated the government of the time should’ve reversed their right to enter the UK. They didn’t want them in here. It just shows you what a moment of weakness can create In your once beautiful country

      Serious question... Why aren't the police heros for doing the same? Just because people dislike stop & search? It's the only way they can take them off the streets but get nothing but stick for doing so?! Crazy...
