Stabbing in Birmingham

[Missplaced Childhood]

23 year old lad surrounded by others on a nightclub dancefloor and stabbed to death in Birmingham last night, WTF is wrong with people that they need to carry knieves to a nightclub.

Awful that, must be gang related surely.

This thread needs to be merged with the death penalty thread. An 'eye for a eye' is the only valid sentence for the perpetrator.

Why feel the need to do it in such a public place? People out for a good time & being made witness that sort of thing.

Scum of the earth.

Cos young'uns aren't afraid of anything or anyone nowadays.

 

[look out piano]

The poor kid must have been terrified, truly sickening - RIP young man .
Hopefully the club has decent CCTV and there are some brave witnesses that will come forward

Agreed.

I get what you're saying, but I reckon it's a lot worse to do it in a nightclub full of innocent people than, let's say, if they bundled him in to a car & stabbed him down a lane, or something.

Just putting people through unnecessary trauma, when they were going to stab this person anyway.

Going out the house with a knife with no reason is indefensible
I’ve got a knife in the truck but it’s there for opening hay bales.
There’s not one in the car because there’s no reason too. I’ve actually got one in my pocket now but I’m likely to use it throughout the day and not for sticking it in someone

Is there no mandatory sentence for getting caught out with a knife?

If not then there should be

Serious question - what is the actual political aversion to this? It seems like an easy win. Let’s say a max 15 year custodial sentence for carrying a knife. Why not? Appreciate lots of things to clarify around type of knife, intention of carrying etc, but for cases where you catch someone walking about with a massive knife late at night with no reason…why not?

It used to be four years prison for carrying a weapon.

Exactly, some people would need them for work etc but if your walking around with a massive knife at night there is only 1 reason for it.

People would probably try say was for protection to try and get away with it.

Is it not anymore?

Carrying a big fuck off knife should have same punishment as carrying a gun

More stop and search? That's a can of worms governments and police don't want to touch.

I absolutely agree with this.
Although I will say that there's been a couple of times I've been busy in the shed or the house, pulled my jeans back on to go out after a shower and found my Granda's penknife in my pocket when I reached in for my wallet...

I‘ll wager that when the police release offender details it won’t come as a surprise.

You're allowed a up to a 3 inch blade -I've got one I use on camping trips.
