Crime Boy, 13, dies after ‘horrific’ sword attack in north-east London

[Natural Order]

There are more stabbings per capita in the USA than the UK. So what's your point?

Just that the weapon of choice in UK headlines should generally be of no surprise.

What an illogical take. Terrorism-related is based on motive, not on where they're from lol. The UK will call it terrorism if it is.

Exactly. It's almost like some people want the attacker to be brown-skinned when they first read the story.

Prime Minister Rishi and mayor Sadiq?... You get what you ask for...

There's been a concerted effort in America to set precedent letting any would be good samaritan know if they attempt to prevent criminality or deal with it they will be smeared publicly and likely imprisoned for much longer than said criminal so don't be so quick to blame individual for not getting involved in America. If that's what you're doing TS as it's difficult to understand what points you're trying to make...

You'd be extremely foolish to go near any maniac with a sword. Enjoy your Darwin award.

Just going off the image in the screen cap of the video posted in the last page, the handle does look longer than a Wakizashi. There are also Ko-Katanas which have a Wakizashi blade on a Katana length Tsuka.

I'm more of a Euro-Sword guy personally, though.

The handle does look quite long but the blade is too short for a Katana. And when held one handed a Wakizashi could still have a fair bit of handle sticking out past the hand. I hadn't heard of a Ko-katana but then I doubt this is a highly authentic japanese sword. It's probably cheap rubbish with the dimensions all out of proportion.

The Wakizashi below you could fit two hands on the grip.

Here's some links that clearly show you percentages used. And it seems to generally correlate with tighter gun regulation.

You might actually be wrong about that per capita stabbing assumption chief!

Of course not, no or little guns, very few shootings. But even then less stabbings than the US. Maybe we are just less violent in general?

I'm not wrong, I'm basing my facts on this finding like when Trump bleated on about the stabbings in the UK. Usual Trump BS

Knife murders are also higher stateside: there were 4.96 homicides “due to knives or cutting instruments” in the US for every million of population in 2016.

In Britain there were 3.26 homicides involving a sharp instrument per million people in the year from April 2016 to March 2017.

Trump's knife crime claim: how do the US and UK compare?

Donald Trump has sought to defend the use of guns stateside by shining a light on knife crime in London. But is the UK really any worse than the US?

Did you even look at the links you posted? The stuff you just posted shows it's gone up in 2022 in the UK to 4.35 homicides due to sharp implements per million. Where as you also posted that US homicides by sharp objects are higher at 4.43 per million. Seems like we are catching up but we are still lower than the USA. You might want to revise your statement.. chief

I don't get it? That shows crime rates are higher in the US. Are you trying to argue against yourself?

Regardless, they'll clamp down on swords even more as a result of this attack, even though the sword he has is already illegal. They banned curved blades (with antique sabres having some kind of an exemption) specifically to target these "Ninja Swords".

The distinction between a knife and a sword is more-so due to the hilt construction not length of blade or handle, not that the person writing the article would know this. A Kriegsmesser (War Knife) is a knife for example:

It would have needed an entirely different approach to policing because he ambushed them on the doorstep. They didn't have time to react and they had no idea what they were walking into. Even if they had pistols out going to the door, at least one of them would be dead. And it such a rarity, as tragic as it is, that I don't think the UK general public would like to have weapons pulled on them all the time.

Good post mate, pretty much agree.

Nice duck on the violence indicator.

We'll let the Criminal Nanny State and the Psycho Gun State battle it out with Iran on the crime index rankings....



Thank for playing. I'll be over here in Canada enjoying a doob and playing ball with the locals. Let me know when you want to learn something, instead of telling others how to be so vile.

I guess you're enjoying comparing yourself to dogshit, by a few measly percentage points. You can't be this dense?

This one.

Just completely insane. There's a thread on here about it too.

Thanks for the link, as shit as it was appreciated pointing in the right direction for the education sherbro. Fuck me that’s insane. A horrible event.
