gonzo Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The only reason kids pick up knives is fear. Get boxing/self defence taught in school either as extra classes or part of the curriculum. You’ll never stop young lads waning a tear up, it’s part of their DNA. Like Royal says, the sentences for carrying knives are a disgrace. I don’t know if this one in Bolton is gang related but really don’t think it was. A scrap at a house party and the lads grabbed the nearest weapon imo. Not sure how you stop that.

Any cunt carrying a knife for no legitimate reason give them 10 years. If you use it then 20.

PCSO’s don’t work, what lunatic in their right mind would try and break up gangs at night with nothing but a pen and paper I know it’ll come down to funding but surely it’s a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the issues with stop and search. People soon get phones out kicking off at coppers doing their job. Parents need to get on it with this. Bigger prison sentences for carrying knives need to happen but then bigger sentences exist in America for most things and it doesn't do much to stop stuff there.

Youri McAnespie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Let's turn loads of plastic wannabe gangster little shits into genuine ones - a quick two year finishing course in HMP Manc or Forest Bank and a certificate of competence and achievement dished out by G4 upon graduation. There isn't one single cause or cure for this. Anyhow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 How do they afford all the latest hoolie gear, the latest iphone, e-scooters and all the rest? Fucking shithead parents who treat being a parent like a bleeding popularity contest. The spoiled little fuckers aren't doing legitimate jobs and are too fucking thick to do any crime themselves (without being caught almost immediately).

Youri McAnespie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 One of the only decent parts of that 'The Violence Paradox' documentary I recommended blind t'other night was a section on the initiatives to prevent violence escalating - often using former violent loons who'd been reformed to intervene.
