Numerous Stabbings

[JLM]

There's hardly a day that goes by that we don't hear of a stabbing and most often fairly close to home. I think it's time an end was put to this bullsh*t. I suggest that anyone convicted of pulling a knife gets an automatic prison sentence of ten years (no parole or time off for good behaviour) It's just reached the point where it's ridiculous. It's not the guns that are the problem as much as the knives.

The reason 'automatic' or 'min length' sentences don't work is because they are enforced after after the crime is committed;




A) People who commit crimes think they are smarter than the Police and will not be caught.


B) Others commit crimes of 'rage' where in they get overly excited and do something they wouldn't normally do without consideration for said acts.




Yes, 10 years would keep them off the street but for the victim, it's too late...........

Knives and violent crime in Canada, 2008

That goes against the grain of my feeling about bureaucracy and bureaucrats, register the criminal not the weapon.

Why would you want to register either? Do you really believe registries work?

Yes.

 

[gerryh]

Yes.

and that's only because you're an idiot.

 

[Cannuck]

Yes.

Well we know you do. I was interested in the opinion of one that claims he hates bureacracy

I would hope someone has learned something from the gun registry!

The fewer the better, but if we are going register anything it should be the culprit, knives don't do anything anymore than guns do.

Nice flip-flop.

If you want peace to prevail in a group setting then bureaucracy is important.

Obviously you haven't.

if we are going register anything it should be the culprit,

So, having a criminal record and already being "registered" as an offender isn't good enough for you eh? You want to create ANOTHER registry to list these offenders.

Typical former government employee, all for throwing the taxpayers money down the toilet for no appreciable gain.

I understand that you have trouble differentiating between "bureaucracy" and "registry". You should PM me and I can explain it to you as not to bore others reading this thread

You'd know about that!

I don't think this is a problem that can be fixed. We have what we call our every day knives and forks. We have our silverware. We have several sets of steak knives. We have a full set of Henkel knives, carving etc. All in all, we have probably 70 or more knives that one could use to carve up someone........Hell with just a few tools, you could make a pretty mean knife in a couple hours....

Yep and add to that chisels, screw drivers, drills etc.

Is that an attempt at adding something to the discussion or are you just trolling?
