London's Mayor Declares Intense New 'Knife Control' Policies To Stop Epidemic Of Stabbings

Daily Wire ByEmily Zanotti 4/8/2018

The police will now stop and frisk people believed to be carrying knives.

An epidemic of stabbings and acid attacks in London has gotten so bad that London mayor Sadiq Khan is announcing broad new "knife control" policies designed to keep these weapons of war out of the hands of Londoners looking to cause others harm.

The "tough, immediate" measures involve an incredible police crackdown, a ban on home deliveries of knives and acid, and expanding law enforcement stop-and-search powers so that police may stop anyone they believe to be a threat, or planning a knife or acid attack.

Khan announced Friday that the city has created a "violent crime taskforce of 120 officers" tasked with rooting out knife-wielding individuals in public spaces, and is pumping nearly $50 million dollars into the Metropolitan Police department, so that they can better arm themselves against knife attacks. He's also empowering the Met Police to introduce "targeted patrols with extra stop and search powers for areas worst-affected," according to a statement.

All he needs to do is require knife registration. That’ll fix it.

I guess this qualifies as an AR-15 in London cutlery style.

This mayor is insane.

[240B]

He's going to have to ban these too.

[dfwgator]

What about pointed sticks?

[240B]

What if they use a rock? Can rocks be banned?



What about a pipe?



The solution is not to ban knives. The solutions is to ban lawless barbaric Muslims. But of course, he will never do that.

@dfwgator that will come shortly after vans and semi trucks are banned in London too.

But those are licensed and registered.  How could they be used for violence?

He is either writing a brief or looking for a clean pair of briefs to wear to the office.

In a sane world, this mayor would be laughed out of office as the world recognizes the king has no clothes.

[Frank Cannon]

LOL. Sure the gun grabbing only will end with registrations and not expand into total disarmament.

What's sad is that he's the odds-on favorite to be the next British PM.

Hope they won't have tough steaks in London.  Hands can get pretty tired cutting a cheap sirloin with a butter knife.

I saw a joke about this.
It had a couple in a restaurant, waiting to pass a background check before the waiter would give them any silverware.

I was in London a number of years ago visiting my son.  His wife was an actress and was in a play in the theatre district.  We watched her in the play, then went to a restaurant there.  During the time the play was on, a man was murdered very near there by someone who used a knife. 

The next day, the newspaper said the cops were going to reenact the murder that night and they asked people who were there the night of the murder to go back there so they could be questioned as they might have seen something the cops needed to know.

The other thing that happened was, the city officials talked about passing a law that people could not carry a knife out of their house.  Of course, my son and I thought that was ridiculous, but the wife, being English, thought that was the right thing to do.  I guess they didn't pass such a law, because if they had, people wouldn't be killing each other with knives now.  Certainly they would have obeyed that law and never had a knife out of the house.

When will the mayor ban acid?

This dad is the victim of a gruesome crime wave in the UK targeting men: acid attacks
By Stephanie Abrams

What happened Andreas Christopheros represents a surging crime wave in the U.K., acid attacks, also known on the streets as a "face-melting" attack. He says everything you thought you knew about acid attacks is wrong because the crime and statistics are changing. It's no longer a crime impacting mostly women in South Asia. Acid has now become a weapon for gangs or other criminals attacking mostly men in the U.K. and he says not enough is being done to stop it.

Andreas lives in South West England where he enjoyed his late 20s heading to outdoor concerts, welcoming fatherhood with his new family, and worked diligently growing his business. He never gave much thought to crime, until three years ago when a stranger showed up at his front door and threw acid on his face. It was a case of mistaken identity that would forever change how Andreas identifies himself.

He was blinded in one eye and his skin horribly melted and disfigured, creating the need for ongoing operations to recreate eyelids, and support normal necessary functions like breathing and eating. He says he faces at least seven more years of reconstructive surgery.  ...
