A question has been troubling me for some time now.
Why is knife violence so prevalent in this country which I currently call "home"?
This has been a popular topic in the media recently, with approximately 20 under 20's killed this year already.
Apparently the Government is speding £3m on a marketing campaign to try and curb this worrying trend.
Just what we need - posters, billboards, radio & TV ad's telling people NOT to stab each other. I bet that'll work a treat.
I come from a country, which is relatively safe. I mean "safe" as in you don't worry you're going to get stabbed walking to the shop to buy milk.
People just don't think like that. Sure, you might get in a fight at a bar/club, but you'd never think about knifing someone. That's just not the done thing.
But here in the UK, every day it seems to be: another innocent victim, their life cruelly cut short by some wannabe little fuckwit.
Whilst I appreciate the Government's efforts to try and stop knife crime, I think they need to go deeper and try and understand WHY these little cunts are carrying knives in the first place.
I think you can break it down into 2 groups:
1) those that carry knives because they intend to use them (whether it be for robbery, stabbing, cutting their gay little mates pubes etc)
2) those that carry knives as protection, in case some of those ass bandits mentioned above try and rob them
Are we really living in an age where people need to carry knives for protection? I would like to think not.
The Government needs to get tough; if you get caught with a knife, 5 years hard time. Use that knife to harm someone, serious or not, life.
These little pieces of shit have nothing to fear from the law, so why would they bother to act like decent human beings and obey it?
In a related matter, do you wondr why there was so little violence in Moscow after the UEFA Champions League final last week, yet so much trouble in Manchester for the UEFA Cup final 2 weeks before?
I know why.
The Ruskis were very clear - if you cause trouble, you will face the consequences. Stripped down, hosed off, and kept in makeshift prisons for the minor offences; time in a much feared gulag for anything worse. And even though 50,000 English fans descended on the Russian capital (and even though Man Utd and Chelsea are known to have some of the most yobbish fans) there were only 4 arrests.
Contrast that to Manchester, where 70,000 Rangers fans came to Manchester, trashed the place, acted like degenerates and even tried to fight the police.
I think there were about 42 arrests that night, and the crowd was actually smaller than Moscow!
If UK cops got tough, and they'd need support from the Government, they could implement the same tactics as their vodka swilling counterparts: ZERO TOLERANCE.
If New York can undergo a radical transformation, why can't London? It ca't be that hard. They got tough on crime, and they reaped the results.
We need to start treating knife crims and anyone else who is out to hurt/maim/steal with the same respect they give their victims: None.
I would love to see these fuckers going toe-to-toe with some of the boys from back home; they don't know what hard is.
You wanna be a gangsta, son? Try walking the mean streets of 'Rewa on a Friday night. You'll need something bigger than a knfe. Try a machete.
If you make it home in 1 piece, buy a Lotto ticket because you're one lucky sonofabitch.
Lock these little cunts up, let them get ass raped for a few years and see if they think they're still hard.
My bet is they won't.
P.S. If you try and rob me, I won't need a knife to fuck you up. See how you like a size 12 boot in your face you nasty little faggots.
