I met Ross Kemp in a restaurant named Mo Mo’s many years ago. He always looks livid even when he’s smiling. On a serious note; it would be so helpful if we could unravel this and establish when it all started. Many young people are convinced they h a v e to carry a knife but I wonder how much of a role skunk-induced paranoia plays. Not suggesting that knife crime is wholly attributed to THC but it must be significant. If everybody’s paranoid and armed with blades; that’s never going to end well ... Also, there’s no politically correct way to say the following but years ago there was an influx of children who had unfortunately witnessed unimaginable violence in their country of origin who possibly became de-sensitised to violence and bloodshed. I wonder how much trauma counselling these boys received, if any ...

[@cantagiousca5220]

Many young people?? Bollox you mean many black people

[@cheman579]

@@cantagiousca5220 One of the guys in the video was white, my area is full of knifes and not full of black people. Yes black people are the majority of people in gangs, but it's because it's the black people who are in poorer areas. White people in the same poor areas do the same stuff, and like I said I'm part of one of the only black families in my area and I don't carry a knife, but I know a lot of white youts who do. Don't blame it on us negros, blame it on the areas the governments keep placing us negros in

[@INDIANSsmell]

It's more like it's a lot more gruesome to be stabbed multiple times other than getting shot but either way there dying so there both just as bad

[@PNETriffid]

@@INDIANSsmell No, guns are far more deadly.

[@Wulfyr]

​@@PNETriffidIt depends on the type of blade being used and the intent of the attacker. These kids aren't just poking each other and running away. They're on some Michael Myers shit. It's not uncommon for brain matter or intestines to be strewn around the crime scene.

[@PNETriffid]

@@Wulfyr Nobody is saying that knives aren't potentially dangerous or gruesome. However to suggest that knives are as dangerous as guns is utter nonsense. Name a type of blade that is more deadly than a gun? Why do you think soldiers in every army in the World use guns? Let me guess you enjoy shooting animals.
