This will continue for as long as we have soft-sentencing for those who are caught carrying knives, and those who are caught stabbing other people (there are 10,000s of stabbings every year where the victims are seriously harmed but do not die).
How about if you stab someone else, you get 10 years in prison, zero-tolerance, no ifs and no buts – this would quickly ‘hoover up’ the small number of violent gangsters who commit the vast majority of knife offenses. When there are no consequences for carrying knives this is the result.
For fucks sake, it’s a daily occurrence.
Sadiq Khan be like: “best city ever”
It’s gang related from what I can tell from another sub, one of the members was active in the gang so not like they were not mistaken or anything.
