Top cop makes a point about killer blades

I will give up my Old Timer when they take it from this old timers cold dead fingers!

Illegal to carry a pointy bladed knife? Get yourself a meat cleaver,a hatchet or a battery powered chain saw.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Pointed heads are the most dangerous weapons around today, especially if those pointy heads are on top of top cops.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Point not needed, just hone the blunt end to razor sharp, lung with it sideways and slip it between the ribs.

[freedomlover]

"Well what about pointed sticks?"

Getting all high and mighty are we?

[F.J. Mitchell]

Ya just had to post that picture didn't ya? Now what little blood was reaching this old dudes brain has rushed off to parts it hasn't visited in years.

I knew this was coming years ago. As I posted when the British doctors suggested banning knives, you'll have to pry this out of my cold, dead hands:

I refuse to use some cheap, blunt Wal-Mart wannabe-knife.

[A Strict Constructionist]

Chinese restaurants are the next great threat. Those chopsticks are LETHAL.

I can't wait until someone is "forked" to death.

[Protagoras]

Ya can't make this stuff up.

[CPOSharky]

Well what about pointed sticks?

Watch out. Fire hardened (Google "fire hardened" for the process) pointy sticks will upgrade the crime to a felony.

[R. Scott]

Either that or kevlar underware.

[Little Ray]

And ballpoint pins and screwdrivers.

[R. Scott]

He explained: "You rarely get victims who are sliced to death . . . they are usually stabbed.

The good constable never heard of a Saex. A lot of people were chopped up with them way back when.

[Little Ray]

Freedom of speech doesn't bother us.
It is the absurdity of someone actually HAVING this opinion, and the fact that he has, somehow, become a senior police official that is disturbing.

Its almost as bad as continually electing a fat drunken moron like Ted Kennedy to the Senate...

'Freedom of speech doesn't bother us.

Well, what happens is this; each year all the police are assessed and the dopiest ones are promoted to Chief Constable so we can keep an eye on them and it also keeps them away from the HK MP5's. . . . . :D

[Vectorian]

Yes, but she's not impressed by big weapons. . . . .

[LexBaird]

Yes, but she's not impressed by big weapons. . . . .

Being British, perhaps she's never encountered one. ;^)

[webstersII]

"victims who defend themselves against an attacker can be jailed for defending themselves."

Is this really true or is it an urban legend?

It seems hard to believe that if someone comes after you with a knife that you could be in trouble for fighting back.

[sport]

They will get to these, just give them time.

They can only work on one thing at a time. First guns, then knives when they get those they will move to the next on the list.

Kinda like the degenerates over here. First legitimize and legalize homosexual conduct. Then legalize two men or two women "marrying" each other. When you get these, start working making it legal for adults to have sexual relations with children, no matter how young the child is, or how old the adult is. These are already in the works in the United States.

[Little Ray]

You're right. Didn't think of that way.

Maybe Ted Kennedy does less damage in the Senate... probably kills fewer people anyway, having a chauffeur and all that.
