Is it murder or man slaughter

Whilst appreciating the police have to make judgements in a very short space of time and in what can be very difficult circumstances, I wonder how the policeman is feeling who said 'don't think so mate' when Henry said he'd been stabbed.

I'll say again as I've said before, the authorities should treat everyone the same.

As for the knife carrying thing for religious reasons. This needs to be scrapped.

I do have to laugh at the likes of Musk spouting his guff. Maybe look closer to home first re how the police in the States conduct themselves.

There was no justification for carrying the knife that Digwa was carrying, other than to carry a knife in the same way that loads of people carry knives in this country nowadays, which is with the intent to intimidate or injure other people.

Should we ban the kirpan because of the actions of one person? We did it for semi-automatic rifles after Hungerford and handguns after Dunblane.

However, knives are far more readily available than semi automatic rifles and handguns and its not viable to licence knives. It is already an offence to brandish or use a Kirpan aggressively. Do we need to change the law as a result of one offender?

I think a compromise is to have the knife concealed. Having a large knife on a belt in public may be threatening and provoking. But I am not Sikh and do not understand how this would impact law abiding Sikhs.

Blunted would also be a compromise.

Sensible talking, I have been hammering this home since the black lives matter campaign, the term racist is way over used now and should be taken with a pinch of salt. I hold very little regard when someone calls someone a racist. I think it is now about time others did the same.

Been doing that for years.
Anyone playing the race card without reason is a dishonest person and a clown and as such should be treated.
