The benefits of banning guns is once again headlining the news in the UK. This time the usually tranquil island of Jersey has been turned into an abattoir but the stabbing to death of 6 people. Coming on the heels of the many nights of rioting, burning and looting the killing is ample proof of how well banning guns works to empower criminals and turn law abiding citizens into hapless victims.
We have no update on any intentions to ban knives in the UK but we would not be surprised if they are debating not allowing whites to own sharp objects so as to present easier targets.
“Six people, including three children, have been killed in a horrific knife attack on the normally tranquil isle of Jersey, off the southern coast of England, near France.
Police have arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicions he killed a man, two women and the children in an apartment in St. Helier, the capital of the island, the BBC reported.
The suspect is being held under police custody at Jersey General Hospital, where he is recovering from surgery.
The victims haven’t been identified yet, but they are believed to all be related and also Jersey residents.
“Clearly this complex investigation is in its very early stages as we try to establish exactly what happened,” stated Detective Superintendent Stewart Gull, the head of crime services of States of Jersey Police.
“We are mindful, too, of the impact of any such serious and tragic incident on the local community, and we have police officers in the area to support the investigation and local people.”
Gull added that the murders have been “pretty traumatic” for police investigators and emergency services personnel who were called to the scene.”
