sword ping!
The Kukri blade, with its markedly downward curved blade, has long
been identified with the Gurkha Warriors of Nepal.
Is it any wonder that the Gurkhas are the only people in the history of Britain who the public launched a massive campaign demanding the government allow them to settle in the country as immigrants?
A few more Gurkhas and a few less of other types of immigrants and all would be well with Britain in a couple of years.
I recall when Britain was expelling their ex-military Gurkhas, they were granting wholesale asylum to Middle Eastern Muslims, some with terror ties.
He was also lucky that he didn’t remove the blade. He would have bled at a greater rate.
How could this happen? I thought the UK had strict knife control?
Funny story although I guess having a knife embedded in your arm is not all that amusing.
The crook should have had a better quality knife and attacked a poorer quality citizen.
If he wasn’t a martial arts expert he would have been killed. Guns level the playing field for those of us not world class fighters.
Just a bump for later
Ten years...with a possibility of only 7...for attempted murder? I suppose the English police are afraid of being short of thieves and thugs, thus endangering their government jobs. And this incredibly brave man waited for 15 minutes for them to show up. Shameful.
Amen! A few of them were stationed on a base near me in the UK. Used to come into the shop where I worked. Good guys.
Guilty: Jamie Hall, 39, stabbed shop owner Taitex Phlamachha, 38, so hard he buried a whole six inch knife in his arm. He has been sentenced to 10 years jail.
Don’t screw with the Gurkhas, you will lose....badly.
This event happened last October, as the article itself states. Why the Daily Mail is publishing it now, I don’t know. It was post4ed and discussed on FR in October when it happened.
Don’t mess with Gurkhas. They will hurt you!
He’s probably going to be in a raft of legal trouble for defending yourself.
I suspect that he was either advised by his lawyer to say that, or he was smart enough to say it after the fact. He didn’t actually get chatty during a fight for his life.
It’s part of the legal dance you have to do in Britain after defending yourself. “And then I said, ‘Sir, you should not hold your knife pointed at my face, because that could be interpreted as a hostile act’”. Utter b.s., but then again, so are their self-defense laws.
Fortunately, in much of the US, you can rely on Tuco’s rule.
“When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”
A Gurkha like this guy might have lived another 25 years before noticing this knife imbedded in his arm.
There are NO X-Marines and there are NO Ex-Gurkha.
I still think we need to hire a regiment to police our Southern Border with Mexico. That would stop the “traffic”.
Gurkha are some tough little soldiers. Few words, much action. I salute them.
If the attacker had any clue what the tool of the trade for Gurkha is, he would have run for his life.
With a Kukhari the little Gurkha would have made quick work of this.
