Yes....we can see that there is an increase in the number of children stabbing children...and this is adding to the work load of the medical flight helicopters...who are also dealing with a lot of shooting victims....
In a country that banned guns....
Stabbings of children in London now 'part of Air Ambulance workload'
Daylight stabbings of schoolchildren have become “part of the workload” for London’s Air Ambulance medics, they revealed today.
The service is now treating almost as many shooting and stabbing victims as people seriously hurt in road crashes, with open-heart surgery on knife victims performed in the street on an almost weekly basis.
It responded to 606 traffic accidents and 500 gun and knife crime incidents last year.
These accounted for 60 per cent of the total of 1,864 incidents it attended where a person had suffered critical or life-threatening injury.
Dr Gareth Davies, LAA medical director, told the Standard: “The amount of stabbings we have seen over the last 10 years has changed quite dramatically for us.
It’s a big part of our work now - nearly 30 per cent of our work is penetrating injury. We are seeing a number of people with multiple stab wounds, in what appears to be more aggressive attacks.
There is a real sense we are seeing stabbings of a greater gravity in the past.
“These crimes of violence are beginning to equate with other forms of trauma that have historically been our biggest number of cases.
“The demographic of patients is changing from a night-time activity involving drugs and a dark alley to attacks in broad daylight. It’s no longer unusual to go to stabbings of of schoolchildren outside of their schools in daylight hours.
This is what you had in the U.S. going into the 1960s.......and eventually led to the rise in gun crimes from the 1960s through the 1990s......until we learned that armed citizens helped lower the crime rate......
It would also help if the left wing morons would stop attacking and undermining the police, since they are the first line of defense against these barbarians....
