The number of stabbings and slashings in the Big Apple is rising — driven by violent incidents in homes, subways and schools, according to NYPD data.

There have been 4,493 knifings so far in 2023 as of Sunday, a 6% increase over the 4,237 in the same period of 2022, the data show.

At the same time, arrests for cutting crimes have increased nearly 30%, from 2,073 to 2,677, according to cops.

“Assaults are up and people of New York City are scared,” the cop said. “People feel safer having a knife on them for protection than to wait for the NYPD to finally help them when there isn’t a backlog of 911 calls that they have to answer. Personnel in the precincts is short, cops have to do more with less and cops can’t get to every serious crime in the time that they can. People need to fend for themselves these days.”


No, even the article admits MORE knives is the answer.

> Ban knives now! (S) <

You’re late to the party. Back in 2019 some worthies in the UK (including Church of England leaders) called for a pointy knife ban.

I wish I could say it a parody, but it’s not. So, yeah. Maybe the West is getting too stupid to survive.

One of the replies is "Great news! I love it when people get what they voted for."

It's hard to argue with that.

Since the swearing in of the criminal and nation destructing puppet this country has been sinking fast. There is an absence of anything kind and polite.

Yup.

I think everyone knows how strict the gun control is down in Australia. I was there awhile ago and I was amazed at how many people are beaten to death with chairs, cricket bats and golf clubs. People don’t need guns to kill. But guns are very useful for self-defense.

Actually, there are more guns in Australia now than when the Port Arthur massacre occurred 27 years ago.

Only Islamophobes oppose being stabbed. Stabbing people is a time-honored tradition among Muslims. Why should anybody else judge their culture?

Exactly. Guns are primarily used for self defense. That’s why gun sales have skyrocketed since the politicians defunded and then got rid of the police. I don’t think many of the new gun owners are buying them to go hunting.

Let’s see...you have district attorneys paid off by Soros who routinely release criminals without any bail immediately upon arrest; criminals with dozens of arrests not doing any jail time; ever-increasing numbers of out-of-wedlock children raised without discipline; schools that do not ALLOW discipline, especially for minority students; a staggering number of illegals, many of which who come from knife-fight cultures, and defunding of police/cutbacks in police. Anyone still wondering why there’s an increase in stabbings?

Not me. What you just described sums up the problem perfectly.

“ driven by violent incidents in homes, subways and schools, according to NYPD data.”

Driven by violent incidents in homes, and subways and schools, are the newest euphemisms for blacks. The problem will never be solved so long as the media and politicians are afraid to state what the real problem is.
