There`ll be many in the police hoping for torrential rain tonight and tomorrow night. The climate on the street, in so many ways, is currently finely balanced and it won`t take much at all for a repeat of the rioting scenes we saw a few years ago.
For crying out loud, people need to stop taking knives out with them. The amount of lethal stabbing is on a fairly steep upward curve right now and the immediate outlook is worrying. There`s a lot of grim disorder going on out there at present, far more than the few that MSM show on the evening news.
Once again, an unarmed police officer is fighting for his life after tackling a knife wielding attacker, this time in Glasgow. Circumstances not clear at present but seems to have been a dispute between a resident and staff in a city centre hotel, resulting in multiple stabbings.
I have a bad feeling about the direction and growing extent of violent behaviour in our nation. Having been around this sort of thing for a long time I can`t remember ever feeling as concerned as I do currently. It`s a fact that police are already severely over-stretched, there`s no magic supply of police waiting in the wings. If the nation allows itself to keep slipping further down the slippery slope to lawlessness then there are some grim consequences awaiting us.
Sorry to sound like a doom-monger, but the knife crime epidemic, as per the thread title, is becoming just that, an epidemic. Knives belong in the kitchen, for goodness sake, let`s keep them there.
