Knife crime.

Don't know if this already been written about but anyway, it's getting really bad.
A 16 year old killed other day by two 15 year olds in Bristol. 4th in a month just in Bristol, what is going on?
Is it a drugs thing or territory etc?
"Dissing" another gang by being in their area?

Whatever it is it is grim. If I was a parent of teenage boys in a city I'd be really worried.

My kids(girls) are older and in university but even so it's a worry they could be a bystander/passer by to stuff like this. *

*they are not in Bristol I'll add and in different cities.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Pretty horrendous. Bristol's where I was born/brought up.

Hard to see a sensible solution, but one thing I'd be tempted by is serious penalties for anyone selling any sort of bladed weapon to minors and ditto for anyone shown to have bought one and allowed it to be used by a minor. Those that use them, though, would probably just move on to something else like a screwdriver etc. Suspect it's in large part down to various societal issues, non-existent policing etc.
