I felt that I have to write this. last night a young lad of 19 yrs old was stabbed on the Monks Hill estate and later died in hospital of his wounds. I didn't know the young lad or whether he was into football or any kind of sport, that really doesn't matter, what matters is that at 19 years old he had the world to look forward. I really don't know what I'm trying to say here, I don't usually put pen to paper, so to speak, on these matters, a complete and utter waste of life,Just like so many others that have been stabbed.

How terribly sad. Thoughts go out to all his family and friends at this sad time.

heard a news bulletin the other week that said knife-carrying among young males is significantly increasing yoy. The main reason they carry is for protection. How do you go about stopping it? Knives are so accessible. You need to address what's behind the need for protection - but how on earth you do that I don't know.

That's the answer they give but it's probably more likely that they're doing it because others are, and a knife offers no protection at all against another human with a knife. I said years ago that if you're found with a knife you should get minimum 5 years inside, 10 if you use it.

Not really a solution though as you're making a lifelong criminal out of a "petty" (for want of a better term) crime.

If you go out carrying a knife for no purpose other than harming people, even if you state it's only for defence, you deserve it. Without the defence excuse there'd be no knife involved to start with.

Make it difficult for these young thugs to carry. If someone gets caught in violent crime they should allow police to stop n search them whenever they want for the next 3 years.

Generally, you don't get stabbed for no reason.

Sad times. I went to Monks Hill nearly 40 years ago, was an ok estate back then but as in New Addington (where my family still live) it's changed, massively for the worse. This 'disrespect' thing amongst kids is idiocy in it's thinking and causes more problems than it solves. One more thing. My generation are to blame as we've been bullied by the limp wristed and do gooders into not being able to instill discipline into our children. I'm not talking about beat them up but the odd clip round the ear never ever did anyone any harm. In fact 99% of the time it gave you some respect of the person delivering your lesson. I'll bet there are some out there now who remember the moment when that respect kicked in. Too many rude boy almost ferral kids out there and we can now do nothing about it. Shame on this s***ty world. RIP kid.
I refuse to believe there are that many people out there that can't spell. Too f**king lazy, that's what I think. |
