Yet, when they found a 16 year old with a knife on the way to football, he got a "Youth Referral Order, with £40 costs and a £22 victim surcharge." That's what needs to change.

[News] Bus surfing with a knife in Brighton
- Thread starter LamieRobertson
- Start date
Plenty of stop and searches happen in the city centre. There is criteria to be met. Ethnicity isn’t part of the criteria.
I’ve had three people come at me with knives and one with a screwdriver.
All were white. Three were English.

I've had one person come at me with a knife (of the standard kitchen variety) and she was a white female in her sixties, if we're going with demographics. (i worked on a hospital ward, i should clarify that here!) I legged it out of the room quick smart, shut the door and held it shut, and my colleague called the police, who turned up in riot gear and pinned her against the back wall, de-weaponing her in the process.
It was a very easy decision to make, bollocks to her safety if she's going to self harm etc, i'm protecting myself first, and then my colleagues.

There are times when roadkill isn't such a bad thing!
No we're not. Just some prats are.

looked like a prat with a plastic toy to me.
i think if someone brandished something that looked like that at me I would tell them to f*** off home and get back to playing "world of warcraft".
.... but I can understand people's concerns.

See I was always told that when faced with a deranged or irate female, to GIVE her a knife. Instinct will kick in, and she'll make you a sandwich.
Did he have a zombie knife or machete (see the post to which you reply)? I would not expect someone frisked and found to have a knife (pen kinfe?) in his pocket to get the same sentence as someone waving around a machete. Not all criminal acts are exactly the same warranting exactly the same penalty.
If the courts are not properly punishing those found with machetes and zombie knives, that is a serious matter, but it won't be resolved by whaboutery.
What are the actual data on penalties for zombie/machete possession I wonder?

I agree to an extent but we've built a society of young people who have quickly realised there's little to no repercussions when they commit crime, you can rob from tesco while the security just watch and people film or turn the other way or you can attack police then play victim when you're met with force.
America shows that incarceration doesn't reduce crime but I feel like we're at a tipping point where if we don't come down tough on offenders our towns will become no go areas. I've slowly watch the beautiful town I moved to and raise a family decline where now it's a hang out for degenerates, gangster wannabes and shoplifters.
