What would you do to stop all these stabbings?

Question

as it is very sad some ones brother or sister, son and daughter and fathers

Answer 1

You asked a question along these lines the other night, my answer is the same now as then. Bring back the death penalty and scrap human rights laws for criminals.

Answer 2

I know, and am very angered by those few, but ever increasing stupid imbeciles who think it's ok to go around taking other's lives. It's sick and we are all suffering.

I think that something drastic action is certainly needed. More police and security on roads at all times is a start.

Answer 3

For a start I would not lump them together as 'all these stabbings' I would look at the offences in their own right and consider which have been committed due to things such as gang issues and which have been committed just because a lot of idiots carry knives (even if they are not in gangs) and then use these in what used to effectivly be brawls outside of pubs.

In terms of young people and gangs (totally seperate issue from 'all these stabbings') I would be looking at parents and families.

Where are your children?

Why are kids/ teens out on the streets all night every night?

Why don't you think that is wrong?

There are a lot of issues that could be addressed in the home but some parents are clearly to lazy to be bothered about their kids once they reach a certain age!

Answer 4

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I'd have them condemned to death. It's fair. They took someones life, we should take theirs. Alas! That's not the case in our country. The laws and punishments are too lenient and they would never be accepted by the current ruling power; The Labour Party; they rely on the votes of the minorities (Yobs and poorer classes and immigrants) so they couldn't punish them because they'd be losing their own votes and basically moulding their own demotion from power. They're too stuck-up and dependant to take a good look at the rest of us and the damage it's doing to the public. Aslong as they're safe in their lovely, big houses that the public no doubtedly helped pay for, they don't have to care.

Answer 5

It's time to start killing anyone caught with a knife.If a person buys a knife, DEAD. If a person looks at a knife, DEAD.Stabbings will stop in a week.

Answer 6

1st of all I would amend the human rights bill to apply only as long as they are on the right side of the law. I would then give the classroom control back to the teachers & headteachers give rights to punish children by way of corporal punishment and stop social services interfering with family life unless the child is in grave danger. I would also let the parents smack their kids, so respect is taught at home and school from an early age. I would also keep the PCSO's in the police station to do the form filling that the police get tied up with, and let the police go out and do their the job correctly. Overhaul  prison sentencing. I would take away the prisioner playstation and plasma tv with sky, when you get caught with a knife its an automatic 10 years imprisioment to mean 10 years, murder someone and it would be life without parole regardless of age  Also I would free people who don't need to be in prision such as people who commit fraud and low level crime. I would also bring back the death penalty

If a Youth is caught with a knife they will serve the same sentance as an adult, as if they are old enough the do the crime, thet are old enough to do the time.

Answer 7

The law needs to be very tough. If they take a life by stabbing/shooting. Then they need to be put away for life.

Answer 8

Bring back the birch and life to mean life.

Answer 9

Effecting change: 1. change peoples thinking 2. cause pain (a:which causes them to examine themselves,b:causes them to ask why is this wrong/ or what are they so upset about 3. Speak to peoples MONEY, that always gets anyones attention. 4. Restraint 5. remove opportunity 6. Patrol streets 7. Have children in by a certain time 8. Social services to the community of troubled homes 9.Outreach to youth(if they are somewhere being productive they wont have time to be influenced in  the street and elsewhere doing God knows what. I believe that one man can make a difference. DONT FORGET THAT THE STABBING YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT IS THE END RESULT OF A SERIES OF WRONG SITUATIONS IN MANY PEOPLES LIVES, THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER IN THE STABBING.

Answer 10

take a knife and cut their handss off.

Answer 11

Learn how to defend yrself!

Stop and search by police with no hindrance from the PC brigade.

All knife crime convicts (even found carrying a knife)  if immigrants booted out of the U.K. back to their country of origin.

U will not be able to stop knives being sold.

U will not be able to stop knives being used as a weapon.

The police arrive after the event so how is that going to protect u?

The law will not protect u it can only deal with the perpetrator after the event.

The perpetrators do not care about the law, police or u.

They will probably, as we have seen, belong to a black/asian gang whose culture thumbs its nose at everybody else. The black/ asian community should have been the ones to deal with their young ones -I dont hear any loud voices from that community opposing what is going on. If everybody can stop being PC and point the finger where it should be pointed then we might start getting somewhere.

Black/Asian people in the U.K. have had every chance to make a success of themselves as anybody else, so I dont buy into the poor black/asian people anymore nor do many others. They r in fact stabbing each other mostly due to turf wars over drugs, girlfriends, respect/honour killings.

They r a disgrace to all the hardworking black/asian people who have come to the UK and made a go of it despite prejudice. In fact I suspect I am talking about their grandparents (a much different generation) who did work hard and did earn respect.
