The Knife Culture In The UK
Something needs to be done as I am hearing about more and more deaths at the hands of this countries (the UK) knife culture and the problem seems to be getting out of control.
I have had personal experience about Britain’s knife culture. At the age of 18 I was on a night out with a group of my best friends. We all ending up getting quite drunk and I ended up walking home with three of these friends. On the way home we passed a group of four men all in their twenties. They pushed passed us in an aggressive way making a number of nasty comments at the same time.
Despite being rather worse for wear, myself and my friends did not react. We were however very shocked as only a few moments later these four youths started to run towards us in quite a frightening way. We all started to run but one of my friends stumbled and fell over. I looked behind me and saw that these four men had surrounded him and were starting to punch him. I was scared but also felt anger towards these lunatics. I went to the aid of my mate which in many peoples eyes was a crazy thing to do.
Luckily for me the youths ran off with my friend lying on the floor in agony. As I reached him I noticed that there was blood on the pavement at the place where he was lay. I asked him if he was OK and he said that he was. He had been stabbed in the stomach or chest area but had not realised. He thought that he had only been punched.
He was taken to our local hospital and fortunately the damage was not too severe. He was one of the lucky ones I guess, unlucky to become a victim of this cowardly crime but lucky to live to tell the story.
Now I am by no means an expert in this area; I am acually involved on a daily basis with ofering poster printing, selling external doors and helping people to obtain a professional article submission service, however my advice to people is to leave your knives at home. By carrying a knife you could end a persons life, ruin the lives of that persons family and friends and even ruin your own life.
Over the last weekend, I have read about three murders on the streets of Britain via knife stabbings. I can not truly believe that the people carrying these knives left their houses with the intention to kill. The act was possibly influenced by alcohol or by some troubles in their own life. The majority of the people that commit these violent acts are likely to show remorse when they realise the scale of the damage they have caused; this however does little, if anything, to make the situation better. This however is too late for their victims.
