GA. Knife crime!! A friend of mine...Celtic Morning. GA. Knife crime!! A friend of mine was returning home just a week ago with his Lurcher in the back of his car and about six rabbits which the Lurcher had caught and my friend had gutted in the fields with his knife, an ordinary pocket knife with a three inch blade. The guts were left for the birds, foxes, whatever. Being able to find nothing wrong with the vehicle and having no other reason to detain him , he was told he was carrying an offensive weapon, taken in to the nick and now awaits a charge. This in a rural area where a stabbing has probably never been recorded and where generations of young men have carried a pocket knife for many a varied purpose, none of which included plunging it iinto a fellow human being.<BR/> I wonder how many of those stopped and found to be carrying a knife, are charged in our inner city, enriched areas.<BR/> I always carry a pocket knife and always will. I wait to see if I am ever arrested. Is this another of our accepted freedoms which we are expected to forfeit just because crazed, falsely macho, ethnic idioits, strangers to civilised behaviour, use knives as they ahways have done in their own homelands, as weapons of lethal intent.<BR/> I am now a rural person, practically every male in my area will have a kife about him and finds a daily use for it. Murders and woundings are conspicuous by their absence in our communityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
