He is reportedly in serious, but non-life threatening condition.People are stupid.
Any news on the victim? Hope they are alright in the long run.
Yes thanks for posting that article as well. I'm very glad he is stable at least.He is reportedly in serious, but non-life threatening condition.
Probably (just assuming) he is mentally imbalanced and incapable of masterminding a real plan...Couldn't he have stabbed a politician for Syria or whatever reason instead?
Stabbings aren't anywhere near as common as the pro-gun crew in America would lead you to believe.Aren't stabbings quite common in London? Is the fact he said Syria a game changer?
Edit - just saw the video did he get shot or belted with a baton??

1,000 knife crime victims in London each month, shocking new figures show | Crime | News | London Evening Standard
A fair amount, but it is a city of 8.5mil. There were 83 homicides in 2014 total. Not sure how many are attributed to knife crime or other categories.
Yup, the victims of knife crime statistics include those threatened by knives all the way up to those killed by them."In total for the first four months, 284 were seriously injured with knives, 413 suffered “moderate” injuries and 870 minor injuries."
Those 870 are the compass & protractor incidents I'm talking about.
That was London. The UK had 653 in 2011, and I can't find any later stats. It's worth mentioning that London's homicide count has dropped every year from 2011, from 121 to 83, around 1/3.Fuck we had 450 homicides in Australia in 2014 and a much smaller population than the Uk
We suck so much hahaha
Why is it dropping do you think?That was London. The UK had 653 in 2011, and I can't find any later stats. It's worth mentioning that London's homicide count has dropped every year from 2011, from 121 to 83, around 1/3.
Looking into it, it appears as if the UK only count homicide rates for murders with convictions. So, these aren't numbers of total murders, but how many people have been convicted of murder/manslaughter. Others might still be on trial, in appeals, on the run, or unsolved, and they won't show up in these statistics. The drop is, therefore, likely due to cases still being processed and being at various stages. Since 1990 the average is 171 homicides, but again that is only those convicted, which makes the true number hard to define as I can't find any statistics on unsolved murder cases.Why is it dropping do you think?
Also whats the mist ghetto dangerous part of London? I want to take a Google tour
Rick Notes: Comparing England (or UK) murder rates with the US: More complex than you thoughtWait! I have a clever idea! Instead of going to the Home Office crime stats, let us go grab the death register numbers! (Link to excel spreadsheet) (essentially the same as the US CDC wisqars data) That leads to some odd things... (See Table 2 in the linked spreadsheet.)
In 2011 329 people died from "assault", 27 by poisoning (not suicide or work related), 361 by strangulation (not suicide), 127 by non-accidental or suicidal drowning, 7 with guns, 2 with explosives, 20 by stabbing, 62 pushed from a high place, 21 run over, and another 198 of "other specified events in various places" .
I make that 1154 violent deaths of interest to the police which would in the US be reported as murders, and that doesn't include every death that might be a murder since the "cause of death" of a murder or manslaughter victim might well be an infection or other medical complication resulting from an injury during a crime or assault. That death would be classed as murder in the US but I can't pull it out from the causes of death numbers. Never the less at a minimum this gives us about double the number of "Murders" in England as was reported in the Home Office crime stats. Edit Quick math says that if 636 deaths was a rate of 1.15 per 100,000 then 1154 is 2.08 per 100k. Still substantially lower than the US rate, but substantially higher than the Home Office number.
Lambeth and Southwark have the highest rates, and having had a relative live in Lambeth, I can confirm they aren't great places.It would be hard to tell you which boroughs are most dangerous because it's likely to be specific estates within a borough.
I'd imagine it would be some estates in Hackney or Brixton. Maybe Peckham haha. Rodney is a Gee bruv.
That's London though. Worse places up north with those Northern barbarians.
