I’m all for mandatory sentences if found carrying a knife for no reason other than to harm.
There should be mandatory sentencing for a lot of things, murder 30 years, rape 20 years and so on. Circumstances shouldn’t matter if you still did it
Mandatory minimum sentencing upsets the snowflakes at the likes of amnesty international.
I don’t agree with you on alot of things James but I think you’re spot on there.
@James Odin: No James, Amnesty get upset at the likes of mandatory death sentences or mandatory sentences for being gay; not for rapist and murderers.
I drove past the scene on Dundalk last night. Loadsa kids in school uniforms annoying the hell out of the guards. Where are their parents. The area in particular is known to be a rough one and I was happy to be driving on towards home.
Dublin, the real Stab City
Dundalk is in Dublin? Who knew?
We should all carry knives to prevent these kind of stabbing incidents (NRA Logic)
When will we tackle our out of control knife culture. We need knife control immediately, ban all knives.
@James Odin: Yes because you often here about a single assailant wiping out half his school with a knife. This is a straw man argument. Can you kill people with knives, hammers and hatchets? Yes. But a gun is designed for killing and allows you to do so in a much more efficient and deadly fashion
