Current Affairs Stabbing incident in Southport

[Rita_Poon]

So far mate iv had it was only a pocket knife and how getting arrested with a knife is a everyday occurrence , would the same thing be getting said if it was one of the rioters down the road ?

What is it you want here?

I think it's just best to not jump to conclusions yet, and as posted above it certainly didn't kick anything off as there was already a planned protest happening.

The St Lukes "protest" was planned and advertised well in advance of the guy being arrested in Southport earlier today (and I'd put money on it NOT being arranged by Southport residents):

Give over. That is in Southport. Tonight.

Eh?

Feel sorry for the residents of Southport who have got to deal with this, hoping it doesn't escalate where anyone is seriously hurt or injured

Flick knife arrested yes, machete arrested yes.

But you said it was one of the above? Do the people get arrested leaving b and q?

Where did I say the rioters should get arrested?

if you bounce out of b and q with a knife in your hand towards people two right your getting arrested, so if one of them rioters was waving a pocket knife around you wouldn’t want him arrested ? Course you would anyone would

I never said it started the riots I’m only saying that it happened

You're just banging on about it, I'm not sure why, it's not all that relevant to what's unfolding. Fair dos though.

The local MP says they are from outside Southport

Just deleted and blocked a load of “friends” on social media.

I can’t actually stand this any more.

There’s a pattern forming and the only people I’ve seen posting blatant provocative racism and AI pictures of lions are thick, ignorant pricks.

Any knife (of any size) is deemed an offensive weapon if it used in a way that is deemed to be intimidating or threatening. If he's took it out, it's likely a crime.

The law allows people to carry a blade of 3" or less, including a folding knife, but again the caveat is the above and flick/lock knives are exempt.

You get the question of, "Well how can a chef move their knives around?" The law's simple - it has to be hidden and there has to be good cause to possess it.

It's no different to having a golf club under your seat in the middle of the night compared to having your golf clubs in the boot in the golf bag.

The Police in Southport would have witnessed scenes that would have been horrific yesterday.

Tonight they have faced attacks by dickheads who claim to be protecting children.

Weren't all these same lads losing their heads because police were being attacked at Manchester airport the other day? Confused.
