I almost got knifed today D:

[Atomic_Piggy]

So, I was hanging by London station, waiting for my train, and I was in one of those alleyways just outside. Anyway, this huge mutha****er only around 14 years old comes up to me with a knife. He didn't demand money, but acutally made a ****ing swing at me with the knife. I was out of there so fast my outline is still there.
As I was running I could see more youths (between 13 and 16 I reckon) all jeering and holding knives. Several of them had holsters. Jesus, I ran all the way onto my train and hid in the loo for the first half hour of the journey.
This is the cutting line for me. Pensioners getting shot, knived, stoned, recently a poor 11 year shot. Kids hanging out after dark, drunk and threanting. And now this. I'm out of this ****ing lunatic country. As soon as I graduate from college nevermore will I be seen in britain (except to visit family obviously). My advice to other british half-life2.netters: Get out while you can. Forget pride, just run. Seriosuly.

 

[The Brick]

What makes you think this only happens in brittain?

 

[Lucid]

Oh shut up, it keeps you on your toes.

 

[Smoke]

Go to America, I'm sure it's safer there.

 

[Dan]

Come to Canada. It's safer here.

 

[Smoke]

They throw bags of milk at you instead of trying to knife you.

 

[Rapstah]

Come to City 17. It's safer here.

 

[Smoke]

They brainwash you with water and stick black plugs in your body to turn you into a semi mindless drone.

[Ennui]

Go to America, I'm sure it's safer there.

It is. My hometown (Durham) has a higher crime and murder rate per capita than New York City, and it's perfectly fine here.

 

[Laivasse]

London station?

 

[Smoke]

It is. My hometown (Durham) has a higher crime and murder rate per capita than New York City, and it's perfectly fine here.

I said it was safer.

Trust me I'm already thinking the same when I am done at Uni. US here I come. Where the games, movies and anime are cheaper and released earlier. AH!

 

[Ennui]

... damn the Internet, sarcasm becomes another beast entirely here.

 

[Insano]

It's just a knife, relax.

Damn right, run while you can.

 

[CptStern]

not so easy to imigrate to another country ..some people wait years ..or you can always use an old oil drum, cut it in half, jump into the atlantic, point west and hope for the best

 

[-Psy-]

Ah yes, the ASBO kids. They act much like monkeys but with an infinitely smaller brain.

 

[Laivasse]

Well a kid got stabbed to death in my area (Newham, East London) just today. It's a shithole.

There is no 'London station' though@OP.

 

[McGooTheWise]

It's just a knife, relax.

Even here next to east St. Louis (If you don't know, it's a very poor community, and theres a lot of gangs and stuff) we hardly ever hear about anybody getting murdured. The most recent killing was of a boy getting hit by a drunk driver... Poor little bastard.

But really, Welcome to U.S.A. It's safer here.

(And Dr. breen LIVES! HAHAHAHA!)

That is really shitty, I hope you've gone to the Police about it. Good man for legging it too, no one expects you to be a hero against a maniac wielding a knife randomly like that. Knife crime seems to be the latest trend amongst the lowest forms of life in this country.

They make bacteria look like missionaries.

 

[CptStern]

someone was gunned down (probably contract kill) a few km from my house just yesterday ..I however have never been killed by an assassin ..me = win

 

[Viperidae]

Ya'll can move in with me or Stiggy, or Stern if he's feeling generous.

BAGGED MILK FOR ALL!?!?!

 

[CptStern]

I have homo at my house


wait ..I have homogenized milk at my house...that's better

 

[Viperidae]

BAGGED MILK FOR ALL!?!?!

Just not you.

 

[Tyguy]

If a 14 year old pulled that with me I would find out where he lived and ruin his life.

 

[Ennui]

That random knife murder caught on surveillance footage a year or two ago in England was pretty horrible, if anyone remembers what I'm talking about.

 

[Pulse]

Just not you.

Hows aboot some mooses instead?

That random knife murder caught on surveillance footage a year or two ago in England was pretty horrible, if anyone remembers what I'm talking about.

Aye I remember watching that, just struck me how sudden and unprovoked it was... so messed up.

 

[Shift]

Well if I saw about 20 of them, then yes, I would have ran like the wind. But I will be carrying a knife when I hit Manchester Uni and I will use it if I have to, if it means my life or theirs. I am already trained to disarm knife attacks with my hands anyway if I need to, but much better to fight fire with fire.

 

[-Psy-]

If you forgive me for eating your brother you can come and live with me.

 

[Tyguy]

take out your penis and piss on them

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Sorry, I meant waterloo station - bascially london station xD.

I also haven't gone to the police, becuase, I don't live in London, I just went up there for a day.

If you forgive me for eating your brother you can come and live with me.

haha. No.

 

[Xendance]

So a 14 year old makes you want to run from your country?

I'm 14, IMA MAKE U RUN WAHEY

 

[Pulse]

I'd still give them a ring, same situation could happen to some other folk and they may not be as lucky as you.

 

[AKIRA]

stupid kids...i don't understand how they can just even attempt to knife someone...like i'd have to be really drugged up and threatened to even do that to someone for NO REASON...

i'd have no hesitation of beating someone to death if they hurt one of my friends or family members seriously though...

 

[Laivasse]

If you can already disarm people, why risk carrying a knife? You can be imprisoned for a lengthy period for even being found with one. The police are far more prone to motiveless stop and search operations in today's climate too. I was searched at London Liverpool Street under the new anti-terror legislation, basically because I was standing in one place for too long while I waited for a friend.

If you must have something to make you feel safer, choose something less obviously illegal. I used to keep a claw hammer in my work bag just in case - at least I can make up an excuse about that on short notice.

...I think this post encapsulates perfectly why I'll be trying to leave England when my house sells in a few weeks.

 

[Krynn72]

I hate cities.

 

[Qonfused]

Ya'll can move in with me or Stiggy, or Stern if he's feeling generous.

Jesus, what have I started? Soon we're going to be taking over an entire apartment complex. HL2.net Condos!

 

[Dekstar]

When it comes to knives you're pretty ****ed. There's no other weapon in the world which can make you run faster than a knife, except the scout.

 

[thefiznut]

Funny how you lot love to criticize legal firearms in the U.S., but have 14 year old kids knifing people at random in train stations.
