England: Stabbed, Gutted and Bleeding Out
Posted on August 2, 2008
-By Warner Todd Huston
Most haughty Europeans look down their nose at we “violent Americans.” They sniff the air at the ugly American and assume that they are, one and all, more “civilized” than we gauche colonials. Look at all the gun violence in America, they say. They tsk. tsk us for the deaths by gun. Certainly they are better than we?
Now shocking news emerges out of England this month. It is estimated that 25,000 stabbings have occurred in Jolly, more civilized ol’ England in the last 12 months alone. You read that right, there have been 25,000 incidents of knife violence in England in the last year.
Worse, those numbers generally only include incidents where blood is drawn.
The count includes only murders, stabbings where blood is spilled and knifepoint muggings. If less-serious crimes like threats or illegal possession were included, numbers would be far higher.
And what is the government doing? Well, in truth it doesn’t matter a bit what they are or are not doing. Since the common people have no right to defend themselves in England, they are like sheep to the slaughter.
Even as the English look down their nose at America’s supposedly violent culture, they have themselves developed a worse case. But, this isn’t just an English or American problem, it is a western problem. We are steadily becoming an anti-intellectual, anti-religious society and this is showing up in the brutality of our young who have been raised to imagine that they are each the center of the universe.
In the meantime, our youth are brutalizing each other with increasing rapidity with willful, licentious behavior. The west is slowly killing itself as the barbarians at the gate stand watching, salivating at our destruction.
So, I hate to say “we deserve it,” but we are certainly all at fault for it. The west is bleeding itself to death.

Terrific if disturbing article. Thank you. We must face up to some grim realities.
Did you know that the UK has seriously been trying to ban knives now?
Even pointed kitchen knives.
Talk about just not gettin’ it.

I’m a citizen of England, and it’s not true that we all look down our noses at you Americans. The ’sheep to the slaughter’ comment I agree with in the highest sense. A couple o’ years ago, some burglar fell through a skylight onto a knife in the kitchen. He sued the family he was about to steal from, and won. Self-defence law here needs a serious review.

Obviously, you are without a clue “Lee Harvey.” Right-wingers are not communists in any way, shape, matter, or form. You comment, therefore is uninformed.
Lee Harvey Oswald III was a troll who was also posting as ‘nate bivens’ and ‘Illegal Invasion Must Stop’.
