Woolwich Attack Incredibly Hard To Stop
This was the headline on this story on the BBC.
It’s so true.
I once met a senior police officer, who told me that a lot of knife crimes in his experience happened, after someone had a row and lost it. They might run into the kitchen at home and grab the first thing that was handy, such as a knife from a block in the kitchen, which we all seem to have these days. As he said, his mother only had one small knife on display, which she used for everything, with the carver for the Sunday joint safe in a drawer. My mother was the same.
It’s just too easy to get hold of a lethal weapon.
Obviously, this wouldn’t have been a factor in the Woolwich killing, but it is too easy to get hold of dangerous weapons as so many cases show.
