Ugh, just yesterday, Toronto maybe, some loser with a long knife randomly stabbed a jogger, then a woman around the corner. There is video, but not going to look in LiveLeak for it. Just stabbed folks because?

OK, so...say you're slicing up limes for your Corona, when suddenly you get an itch deep in your ear. What are you going to do now, I ask you?

Ah, the report in the U.K. Daily Mail from MidEngineManiac
https://www.dailymail.co.uk...isk-knife-crime.html

I think it's a "cutting edge" approach to the problem of knives being misused as weapons or mishandled and resulting in accidental injuries.

But this part caught my eye:

quote
Last year the Government produced hundreds of thousands of fried chicken boxes with messages designed to deter young people from knife crime.


What's this about? Does the British government operate a nationalized version of KFC? (And is it overseen by a Colonel from the British Army?) Or is that part of the U.K.'s social safety net, the British version of Food Stamps?

Then, this:

quote
They were slammed as racist and reductive by several politicians, celebrities and commentators.


Racist... ya' think? Did each box of fried chicken include a (small) slice of watermelon?

As for reductive... I think that's how I perceive some of the ideas and messages that are commonplace on this forum. I just never realized that the categorical term that could have been my response, thousands of times already, is "reductive." So let's start toeing the line here, you reductionists. You know who you are.
