[satire] Toddler Brandishing Play-Doh Pocketknife Apprehended By UK Police
The Babylon Bee ^ | April 9, 2018

LONDON—A “potentially dangerous situation” was defused by London police Monday morning, as a toddler cutting Play-Doh with a toy plastic pocketknife was tackled to the ground and apprehended by a Specialist Firearms Command unit, sources confirmed at the scene.

The toddler was happily cutting a lump of green-ish Play-Doh with his official Play-Doh pocketknife in his mum’s London flat when a Metro Police unit kicked his door down and charged in, bellowing for everyone to get down on the ground. Several other operatives dove through windows and rappelled from skylights, tossing tear gas and breaching doors throughout the home until the 3-year-old was neutralized.

Later reports revealed the toddler’s mother had called in the threat, as she saw her little boy playing with the knife and began fearing for her life. “We tried to raise him right, but at some point he just lost his way,” she said, holding back tears while covered in a police blanket. “You never know when they’re going to go astray.”

These days it is hard to separate the satire from the craziness. Check out Sadiq Khan's new website for London youth - https://www.knifefree.co.uk/

Best part is while their "success stories" include a couple of black kids living "knifefree", they don't seem to have anyone named Mohammed.

It’s sad when you can’t tell it’s satire until you get halfway through.

It's only a matter of time before Games Workshop stores all across London will be getting raided...

Possessing a Roboute Guilliman mini will bring maximum penalty!

Not only does it have an assault blade, but it also has a tactical bone saw and an automatic eyeball scoop.

"...Sadiq Khan’s new website..."


Their crackpot legislators and nitwit leaders are utterly insane!
Americans traveling there with a utility pocketknife to slice bagels and spread cheese could find themselves facing prison.

Britain is a man-free zone.

I carry one of these with me:

Mine belonged to my dad who carried it all the time. His was made by Ed Halligan himself. The evening after Dad's funeral I began carrying it in his memory. It has come in VERY handy. Blade folds in nicely flush against the handle. Less than 3 inches long when closed.

She swore then that she would never pick up a knife, and decided to stay away from her friends who carried. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she felt she had no other option after seeing how quickly things had got out of control that night. Aliya made the decision to join millions of young people that live knife free.

Now she concentrates on getting her message out to others through her dancing and work as a youth ambassador. By helping other young girls to express themselves and make the right choices, she’s able to put the past behind her.

Exactly. That is because you are law-abiding and totally normal like 99.99% of people who carry common tools.
The amount of vegetables, fruit, boxes, letters, and twine my old Benchmade AFCK has cut can’t be measured!

Well when you read real stories like the following you can never be sure. It’s what happens after most of the world has gone crazy.
