• Huge knife cyclist used to attack car reveals scale of Londons knife problem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98_1-CP2hkk The dashcam video shows the cyclist overtaking cars in London Road, Croydon, at about 5pm yesterday. He stops as he approaches a blue VW Polo and looks inside the car, which then swerves out of the queue and hits an oncoming car. The cyclist then attacks the car, smashing the passenger side window as the driver flees on foot, abandoning his car in the middle of the road.

This is just an isolated case, do not worry and come to London please
wow what an offensive and dumb video title
I'm struggling to decrypt the lunacy behind that video title. I just... I don't get it? What?
"Sadiq Khan's Londonistan"
I find it hard to believe that it was a random attack. I assume they know each other and the car tried to make an escape when he spotted the cyclist. He crashes the car trying to squeeze by before the knife is even pulled out.
thank god the red wrx made it out okay
To be fair - both parties were at fault here - The driver for pushing the cyclist into the oncoming lane (it doesn't take much to look over your shoulder before pulling out...) and potentially causing an accident but the cyclist shouldn't have been packing a knife and trying to use it either...
I honestly had to read that thread title a couple of times because I kept reading it as a knife that was cycling, which, even for London would be strange. Still, you couldn't really have gone with the YouTube video title. Honestly, some of the bile I see in YouTube comments means I shouldn't be surprised. =/ In terms of the video at hand, I'm not at all surprised. London's population is marginally higher than New York City's, but we've actually had more murders this year than London, or at least that was the case a few weeks ago. We need to be focusing more of the budget on policing, but that's doubtful, what with Brexit looming.
brownie points for coming up with a wordsmash even more alarmist than 'Chiraq'
I barely even had to guess that was Croydon, place is a total shithole with a mix of gang violence, drugs and poor people, then again most of London is starting to look like that these days.
Sounds like something a knife would say.
Looks like the sort of problem that would be solved by grinding the tips off all of the kitchen knives.
Pretty sure the car was the more dangerous weapon in this fight, knife guy is lucky car man didn't fight back.
show me where in the video the car would've had space to be a threat
I hope he had a license for that bike.
You're not allowed to blame the Tories for underfunding the police so Sadiq Khan refusing to build concentration camps for muslims is the problem instead.
What kind of idiot brings a blunt knife to a car fight?
I don't understand how the knife being large reveals the scale of the problem.
because it's a BIG knife.
That aint a knife that's a fucking sword mate how the fuck do you casually hide that under your clothes without cutting off your arm or leg?
I can't believe they got this footage from inside one of the no-go zones. I've not spoken to anyone who's been to Croydon for 3 years.
there's this weird subgroup of 'stop knife violence' campaigners in the UK that think that specific types of knives are the problem rather than a lack of police presence and severe underfunding to public services coupled with rising unemployment A close friend of mine was stabbed to death a few years back and his mum became an anti knife crime campaigner, and I love her and I understand she's a grieving mother so she's coming from a place of emotion, but she's constantly posting articles and videos about these 'zombie killer' knives - which btw are just those mallninja edgelord knives that a cringy as shit - as if the existence of these is the problem, completely ignoring the fact that most stabbings are done with kitchen knives from poundland
reveals? its been known for years
This perfectly sums up gun control activists in the USA as well. Just replace zombie knives with “assault weapons” and kitchen knives with “cheap handguns”.
Ohgod those things are hilarious, heard they're dull as shit too. An SA lper made an hour long video just shitting on these kinds of knives a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_LppdsDNS8
The gold one looks pretty sweet imo, functionality or no.
stabbing with the tip is how you're supposed to bust the glass, the dipshit smacking and slashing at the window with the blade at first was the dumb part looking at the video though I really want context, he stopped and looked at the car, who then booked it out of a crowded line into oncoming traffic and immediately smashed into another vehicle trying to squeeze away, there *had* to have been beef here edgy theme aside it looks somewhat useful thing for camping, though I'm sure you can get more utilitarian/better designed kits for cheaper if you actually went to literally any place with a camping section
most camping section knives are just as bad really, coming from a knife makers stand point.
