AI Thread Summary
Four men, including a teenager, were fatally stabbed in separate incidents across London in a single day, raising concerns about rising knife crime in the city. The victims included a 19-year-old in Edmonton, two men in their 20s in Leyton and Walthamstow, and a man in his 40s found in Tottenham. Despite the alarming nature of these events, they did not receive significant media coverage, with some questioning the media's focus on other political stories instead.The discussion highlights a growing fear surrounding youth violence and gang culture, particularly among teenagers, with 20 such murders reported in London this year. While some argue that the statistics reflect a relatively low rate of violence in a large population, the emotional impact of these incidents is significant, especially given the youth of the victims. There is a call for government action to address the issue, with suggestions that police efforts, such as stop and search operations, should be more consistent rather than reactive to media pressure.

Hmm..I thought the Thugees used yellow silken handkerkchiefs to strangle their victims with rather than garrottes..
