I read recently that 1 in 5 murders in the capital is commited by a care in the comunity patient. 1 in 10 for the rest of the country.

1 Man has died.

Like I always think when I read stuff like this, at least the foxes are all right, shame we can't walk the streets in safety but hey ho.

[Zod]

They'd have caught him by now if he'd stabbed a fox.

[pesty]

Yes it appears One person has died.

FFS, I do a lot of work very close to there

[Zod]

misjudged the event with my flippant earlier post. I hope they get this person quickly to avoid further injury.

1 dead, 2 in Surgery, 2 in A&E

frightening.
I really hope someone doesnt try and blame grand theft auto computer games, and stick with the real issues this person must be suffering from.

Yes, such people should really read a few history books; they will see that the use of sharp instruments features quite highly way before guns were invented.

Of course, a politician's intention is to be seen to be doing something even if it's bleeding obvious to most vaguely intelligent people that it won't work, so yes the games will probably get the blame.

Apparently the Police have arrested somebody.

Edited to add: 'in relation to these incidents'.
doh!
