Was agreeing with you but the issue at the moment is that all too many young people are killing one another you're right in that their, now going on about all knife crime is a scapegoat to their localizing miniature police states, longer prison sentences for menial crimes and ridiculous harassment tactics.

Not related but another interesting thing that dosen't get reported (apart from certain international news like the war in west papua for example as the west funds the Indonesians) is just how many people die during heat waves, the number is huge, approx 15,000 people died in france in 2006.
