London’s violence continues to soar out of control after six teenagers were stabbed in 90 minutes during what’s being dubbed the “night of violence” in Great Britain’s gun-free capital. As the United Kingdom continues to punish self-defense, the criminals are free to wreak havoc on the city.
Most mainstream media outlets continue to fail to mention that much of United Kingdom is disarmed, and there have been some pretty stringent “knife-control” measures enacted as well to attempt to stop the surge in stabbings. But none of their laws are helping, as criminals have figured out they are the only ones armed and those who even make an effort to defend their own lives or property will be prosecuted.
These six stabbing incidents come mere days after London’s murder rate surpassed New York City’s for the first time. At least 55 people have been killed in London in 2018, with over 30 of them dying in stabbing attacks. And with murder still banned, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, insists on more knife control.
“There is never a reason to carry a knife,” said Khan. Except for self-defense, a basic human right, since the law disarmed those who obey it.
A 78-year-old homeowner in London has been arrested for “murdering” an armed burglar who attempted to steal from the older man. The burglar was stabbed in the homeowner’s kitchen as a second thief fled, and later died at the hospital.
As violence surges across the pond in London, homeowners have had to take the defense of their lives and property into their own hands – but the UK government is punishing them for it. According to The Daily Mail, a 78-year-old homeowner has been arrested by murder detectives after clashing with a suspected burglar who later died from a stab wound.
Someone should tell those in the governments violating basic fundamental human rights that self-defense is one of those basic human rights. – SHTFPlan
Cressida Dick, the commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police Service, vowed to use “Al Capone” tactics to try and halt the violence, which isn’t a surprise coming from any government since they want the monopoly on violence. But the Mayor continues to focus on punishing those who try to defend themselves while making it harder for them to legally do so.
No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law. https://t.co/XILUvIFLOW

The mayor plans to “boost police power” and give “knife wands” to schools to “keep kids safe.” Knife wands are nothing more than hand-held metal-detecting wands. While they may stop a knife from getting in the school, they are useless for anyone to use in a self-defense situation. The only idea government can ever come up with, is more government. London is quickly on its way to becoming East Berlin of the early 1940s.
In the last 2000 years of civilization, governments have yet to figure out what the rest of us already know: making it harder for the good people to defend themselves during a massacre (of any kind) won’t stop the evil from committing horrific acts of violence against the innocent.

London has had 13,000 “knife offenses” this year with 35 death. Let that soak in: per 370 knife attacks, there is one death.
Compare: in 2013, in the US, there were 73,000 non-fatal gunfire injuries and 33,000 deaths, with over 11,000 homicide deaths. For each gunfire murder, there were 7 shootings that injured. The point: knife attacks are 5000% less likely to result in a death than gun attacks.
London has averaged about 110 overall murders a year(with a population of 9 million) in the past 6 years. Compare to New York, which is one of the safest big cities in America.
In 2017, New York (with same population as London) had its lowest gun murder total of 270, while London had its highest in a decade had 140.
Overall, the UK continues to have a gun murder rate 99% lower than the US: ” In 2015-16 there were 26 fatalities from gun-related crimes in England and Wales (equivalent to 130 because Great Britain 1/5 the size of the US). … In the case of Britain, firearms murders are 53 times fewer than in the US per capita.”
The UK had 26 gun homicides,, the US over 11,000. In addition the rate of murder by sharp object is lower in the UK than the US.
Without cherrypickiing one month in which our safest big city had its least violent day and comparing to London on its worst day, we can clearly see that your chances of being murdered in the UK by gun are 99% less and by any means, about 75% lower.
“There were 709 homicides in the year ending March 2017 (in England and Wales).”
“A total of 17,250 people were reported killed in the US in 2016, with the number of murders about 11,000”
The facts speak for themselves: Since the first of the year, despite the 2 months when London had a few more murders than New York, London has had fewer murders than New York, which is considered our safest big city with very strict gun laws.
Hello again, paid troll. Nice diatribe, but you forgot to ask the 13k “knife offense” victims if they were happy with their stabbings ? They can’t have side arms OR knives to protect themselves, so they must accept (even enjoy) being stabbed, right troll ? You are a very deluded individual, to say the least. I surely hope you don’t own any guns, but then again, it wouldn’t surprise me a bit…
Trolls don’t write detailed factual posts. Fascist morons like you project onto those they seek to cut down their own gutter size.
You must be a disgrace to your family.
I find it consistent that you eluded my question about the 13k that are helpless to defend themselves. But don’t bother, we already know the answer anyway, don’t we Dale Ruff ? They are left helpless because liberal mentality is distorted and dangerous when left unchecked. Sheeple like you think that you can dictate the choices of others. It’s typical liberal thinking, and you gave a typical liberal response. When cornered by your own devices, always look for the fast exit, right Dale Ruff ? (Hint: The correct answer is YES, Dale Ruff).
I will not engage with you because while I presented factual evidence, all you have done is personal attacks and loaded questions. You are trolling, as evidenced by a slew of personal attacks and zero factual information. Insults are the weapon of the impotent. Go away.
As usual, I always defeat you Dale Ruff. I do this with simple facts, and presenting what you yourself say, against you. It’s quite easy to do with you, Dale Ruff. In your comment above, you said I was a troll who used a slew of personal attacks with no factual information, and that insults are the weapon of the impotent. It’s interesting that in your previous post, you did all of those things (see above please, Dale Ruff), and surprisingly forgot so soon. Surprisingly. And after all of that, you never did answer my initial question. Why is that, Dale Ruff ? (Hint: Blame it on dementia, it’s the easy way out Dale Ruff, and you like the easy way out).
Attention Everyone !! Dale Ruff has finished embarrassing himself for the day. He has been spotted heading for his “safe place” with tears in his eyes, carrying a stuffed Enema Gonzalez therapy doll.
UPDATE: It is now reported that he’s got a David Hogg therapy doll, which seems much more accurate, considering the circumstances.
