What 'Getting Tough On Knife Crime' Really Means...

The attack took place on August 1 outside the boy’s home in Rochford and it is understood the defendant and the victim had been friends until a disagreement.
The grandfather said: “The attacker took exception to something and began baiting my grandson on Snapchat saying he was going to get him.”
The victim was stabbed in the stomach and the back and was rushed to hospital with serious injuries and thankfully made a full recovery, but has been left traumatised.
Another knife crime, another young thug looking at a long stretch ins...

Wait!
...the 16-year-old who stabbed him was able to walk free from court after admitting one count of causing grievous bodily harm with intent - which for an adult can mean a life sentence - and one count of possession of a knife.
The criminal must attend a youth offender panel designed to minimise the risk of reoffending by liaising with agency workers for a year.
/facepalm

And yet our lefties continue to say that 16 year olds are children who do not comprehend their actions fully, but the self-same lefties advocate lowering the voting age to 16. The whole bloody lot of them are palpably certifiable.

Certainly lower the age to vote to 16 but do the same with everything else like being tried as an adult and if convicted of a serious crime placed in an adult prison, or if we need conscription make them pick up their guns along with the rest of them. There must be no halfway house of special treatment for voters but not ADULTS.

The trouble is that these little stabbers know exactly what they are doing, worse, they know that the marshmallow brained, bleeding hearts won't raise a finger to stop them or even lightly admonish them.

Amazingly, it seems to be conditional on just what decisions they want to make after all.

"There must be no halfway house of special treatment for voters but not ADULTS."

Spot on!

"The trouble is that these little stabbers know exactly what they are doing..."

Yup! Just watch any recorded police interview, where they clam up tighter than Mafia buttonmen.
