2024-08-23 – Stabbed In Birmingham
This is the shocking moment a man was stabbed in the street in the early hours of the morning – as police arrest a 34-year-old on suspicion of attempted murder.
A horrific video posted on Snapchat with laughing emojis shows a man gearing up to slice another with a flick knife, missing by just a few inches at 1.30am yesterday.
He then grabbed the man – who was pushing a pram filled with belongings but no child – by his shirt to stop him from backing away.
The attacker then stabbed him in the neck as people on the street shouted in the background.
The injured man backed away before noticing the blood pouring down from the wound, pressing his hand to his neck.
The injured man, his barking dog and the woman all walked down the road as the group of men continued to laugh and shout.
The footage then cuts to being filmed out of a car window as they drove past the injured man lying on a pavement with his dog and the woman leaning over him, concerned.
‘Ambulance right here boy’ the person filming shouted as the emergency services arrived, shouting ‘you’re f*****g lucky, lucky. There’s no saving him. Watch him bleed out’.
Police confirmed the injured man was taken to hospital and he remains in a stable condition as of this evening.
A 34-year-old man was arrested and is in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.
2024-07-29 – Southport Stabbings
Picture of the suspect, at younger age, and a sketch in court, age 17, and pictures of victims. The press used the young photo of suspect Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, which has produced a sympathetic image. So far, only the court sketch appears of him now, at 17 (remember, when the left play on such young images, Labour want to lower the voting age to 16).
He is charged with three counts of murder, 10 of attempted murder, and one count of possessing a bladed article and is remanded in youth custody.
PM Sir Keir Starmer denounces the actions of “a gang of thugs” who took part in a riot in Southport and says a new “national capability” will be established to tackle violent disorder
While the violent riots were unjustified, and culprits were rightfully brought to justice, what’s more interesting is how the narrative conveniently and almost wholely switched to the riots, rather than the stabbings, … and yet the stabbings and other violence at the Notting Hill Carnival were passed off as “mostly peaceful”. Well, may totally peacefull protests by British people have been associated totally with the riots and and classified as far-right racist.
