It just goes on and on. I bet I could post a story a DAY about stabbings. When will it end? Why do we put up with people having knives??
We need safety knives (and safes in homes to keep all knives in). I suggest all knives have a hole in them and a block you put them in with a combination so you cannot pull it out easily. Also, register all knives, so if one is used in a stabbing it is easier to track them (and for GOD'S SAKE don't allow anything that looks like a knife, from a butter knife on up to assault knives, in schools. It makes me sick just thinking about those plastic knives kids hold in their hands each day - it will lead to no good I tell ya!)
