Why has knife crime become a culture in Ireland.

helpme23

A friend got stabbed at the weekend by another man after a fight.This man who did it killed my friend and stabbed him from behind in the back.Why is it that this is how little life is taught of now all over Ireland????What way can you view this when he stabbed him from behind into his back ???

Because some people suck mostly. I don't think I would be physically able to stab somebody. It's so gruesome. Shoot them? No problem but stabbing...makes me queasy.

I think it's because of the recession. We've all become so accepting of things. I've stopped even noticing getting stabbed several times a week.

Is there any evidence that there is a culture of knife crime in Ireland?

Rayne Wooney

Because prison isn't a deterrent for the facestabbers

Say that one more time and see what happens when you question the OP.

Sorry to hear about your friend OP.

Premeditated ????

The fight was over and settled, dispute whatever and this coward stabbs him in the back killing him.A coward who always hits from behind.

Because bullets are expensive?

And smart answers are cheap.Just taught I would ask on here what peoples views are does not matter because it is the cowards way to use a knife and one that seems to be a culture in the cities of this country.

The Dublin way

It's more of an Earth problem than an Ireland problem. Not much you can do to stop people being scumbags. Just try to avoid confrontation whenever possible I guess.

Yea but seems to be a more popular thing for people to do these days in Ireland.And with these idiots who dont give a **** if they hurt or kill
another person.

I haven't heard of anyone being stabbed in a long time If they don't have knives, they'll have guns, bats or some other weapon. Scumbags exist and we suffer for it. It's **** but that's the way it is I'm afraid.

Would prefer a knife culture over a gun culture. Both are terrible but y'know..

More of a gun thing here in West Dublin over the last few months.Can't say I've ever noticed a knife culture here,at least not like when I lived in London a few years ago and stabbings were rife among teenagers and young adults.

Without easy access to guns like the Americans, the knife is the weapon of choice. Discreet, effective, easily available to buy - there are a number of reasons.

Sociologically I think because of a loosening of society's morals and a gradual importation of the knife culture in London also contributes.

Hi OP
I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
As your threads relates to an ongoing case in which a person has been charged, we are unable to discuss same.
Take care.
