Getting stabby in Civic

a knife protects no-one, it’s not a shield, and if you pull it in anger someone’s going to be in a world of hurt (quite possibly the person who pulls it).

I fully agree.

Let’s hope he’s named so that public scorn is heaped on his empty head.

I wonder how he’d react if we responded with “cool, the prison wardens will be allowed to drink, use prescription drugs and carry knives while you are in their custody.”

What the hell is the matter with these idiots? Too pissed to have an active brain cell perhaps?

How could this have got to the point of using weapons? Why are people carrying weapons in the first place?

Lots of questions and not many answers, I guess.

Or perhaps the young man in question was defending himself? Maybe he carries the weapon for self defence and protection? I hate how people jump to conclusions. Especially when it involves alcohol in the equation. What if he was on medicine that when combined with alcohol has side effects? Next time before you judge someone and call them an idiot consider all the facts first.

Perhaps if he was on meds, then he should make an adult decision and not drink. People should take responsibility for their actions and stopping blaming everything else.

What everybody else said. Don’t carry knives. No good will come of it. Especially don’t carry a knife or any other weapon if you are prone to using drugs that are legal or otherwise. If you carry a knife and you use it to kill or maim another person (because killing and maiming is what weapons do, after all) then don’t expect a giant shitload of sympathy from the rest of the community, me in particular, who are not carrying knives.

Words are beginning to fail me.

I actually had to re-read Sarah’s post because I could not believe she was being serious.

Sarah, the fact that you try and rationalise someone’s utter disregard for their own safety and that of others (i.e. willfully mixing what I assume is prescription meds with alcohol and then carrying a dangerous weapon that could potentially kill or seriously maim) is concerning. I just hope that you never p*ss him off when he’s downed a bottle of something strong that’s interacting with his medications and you know, gets out a knife due to his delusional state of mind perceiving an imminent threat. But you know, totally understandable. Good luck.

Carries a knife for self-defence: illegal
Carries a knife while drinking and on medication: idiot
Stabs people: idiot

Sorry if I jumped to conclusions.

Absolutely. Carrying a knife ‘for protection’ is a BS excuse. Stay away from trouble and you’ll never need it anyway.
