The Knife Culture Of The UK

Something needs to be done as I am hearing about more and more deaths at the hands of this countries (the UK) knife culture and the problem seems to be getting out of control.

I have had personal experience about Britain’s knife culture. When I was about eighteen years of age I went out for a few drinks with a number of my close friends. We all ending up getting quite drunk and I ended up walking home with three of these friends. On the way home we passed a group of four men all in their twenties. They pushed passed us in an aggressive way making a number of nasty comments at the same time.

Despite being rather worse for wear, myself and my friends did not react. We were however very shocked as only a few moments later these four youths started to run towards us in quite a frightening way. We all started to run but one of my friends stumbled and fell over. I looked behind me and saw that these four men had surrounded him and were starting to punch him. I was at a loss to know what to do and I have to say that I was actually rather scared. Despite this fear I decided to try to help my friend which looking back may have been a rather foolish thing to do.

Luckily for me the youths ran off with my friend lying on the floor in agony. As I reached him I noticed that there was blood on the pavement at the place where he was lay. I asked him if he was OK and he said that he was. He had been stabbed in the stomach or chest area but had not realised. He thought that he had only been punched.

We managed to get him to the hospital where we later found out that he had been very lucky, even though he did have a punctured lung.

Now I am by no means an expert in this area; I am acually involved on a daily basis with ofering cheap hotel deals, selling external doors and helping people to obtain a professional article submission service, however my advice to people is to leave your knives at home. By carrying a knife you could end a persons life, ruin the lives of that persons family and friends and even ruin your own life.

During the last week I have heard about three people who have been stabbed to death on the streets of the UK; what a complete waste of these lives – we sure do live in a crazy world. I do not actually think that the people who carry these knives intentially go out to murder people, well at least I would hope that they don’t. The act was possibly influenced by alcohol or by some troubles in their own life. The majority of the people that commit these violent acts are likely to show remorse when they realise the scale of the damage they have caused; this however does little, if anything, to make the situation better. This however is too late for their victims.
