“I can’t believe they thought they could get away with this in broad daylight.” Ummmm, they DID get away with it. That’s why they thought they could. Sounds like it is law based on ‘feelings.’

A spokesman from Scotland Yard said today: "We do not believe that he was targeted. We do not believe that it is related to another crime."
Well, that makes it alright, then. As long as he wasn't TARGETED, then it's perfectly ok to slit the guy's throat.

(How much do the a$$-clowns who run that country get paid? What an easy job.)

Saddened but not surprised. When you outlaw the means in which citizens can defend themselves and then soften or completely remove the consequences for such criminal acts, you’re going to get this as a result.

First outlaw guns. And they still have murders. So now outlaw knifes.

Britain is losing its collective mind. If this were an old farmer who had been attacked in his home and he defended himself with a knife, the court would have locked him up for 20 years. But because this was not a “targeted” individual these thugs are getting off with a slap on the wrist. How about a little “Braveheart” treatment. Slit their bellies and pull out their entrails. That oughta do it.

This doesn’t say that the thugs who killed him will only get a fine. I think it means that anyone who wants to protect themselves from thugs by carrying a knife will only get a fine. And that’s not good, according to the wimp writing this. So most of us on this board, we’re the thugs.

I have to wonder, with no further information, whether these "thugs" were in fact "Asian youths", or in other words, Muslims.

I say this only because if they were white British youths, the judge would throw the book at them and make examples of them.

Simply carrying a pocket knife in Britain is a serious crime nowadays, and slitting someone's throat, killing him...well you have to wonder.

No description of the thugs? I’m guessing it’s politically incorrect to describe the darlings.

So if you’re part of the general public, just move along. This doesn’t concern you. Don’t be on the lookout for anyone. Back to sleep, you great dozing herds of sheep.

But, if you happened to pose with the perps for autographs and polaroids, please contact us asap; we need your help else we just won’t be able to catch these guys.

Thugs found carrying knives should not be jailed under new proposals announced on the day a man died after his throat was slit on London's Oxford Street

I can't quite figure out what the thrust of this article is. The writer of the article seemed to be more disturbed that people could carry knives than by the fact the someone was killed implying that the killers would get off for killing the guy because the law didn't punish them for carrying knives.

Doesn't matter anyway; all of the important people have bodyguards. Who cares if a few little people get killed in the gun free (and soon to be knife free ) utopia that the morons in Britain have inflicted on themselves.

We can look forward to having our freedoms severely curtailed if Hillary, Obama of McCain gets elected president.

There are two separate issues here. One is an unsolved murder. The second is that there is that the penalty for carrying a knife will be lowered to only a fine, now. Nowhere does it imply that murders will get off with a fine.

The second issue, that knife carriers will only have to pay a fine is A GOOD IDEA, but it doesn't go far enough. (Don't let the word 'thug' fool you.) What Britian needs to do is lower the charge for gun carriers to a fine, or not make it a crime at all, but this is a good first step.

What, you mean one of the 4 million security camera’s on the streets of UK cities didn’t catch them?

“I heard that first they stabbed him and then lunged back at him and slashed his throat. I can’t believe someone would do this in broad daylight. It could have happened to anyone of us. It could have happened to me. It’s crazy.”

So this was just random violence? Terrorism? Hopefully whoever wrote this article is the next victim because he/she/it is apparently too politically correct to pass on useful information. It is a propagandist not a journalist.

Lord Phillips has said those found in possession of a knife could be let off with a fine.

I wonder would he say that if he was the victim of a stabbing? I'll bet the sob has armed protection and doesn't give a damn about the average person.
