(London) has gained something of a reputation due to its knife crime epidemic which funny enough started when the city picked a human rights lawyer as its new mayor and the first thing he did was get rid of police stop and search as he deemed it was 'racist'. since then knife crime has gone through the roof and despite the Mayor claiming he is pulling all the stops out in which to combat this evil trend, the killings continue.
Which brings me to the story of 18 year old Joshua Gardner who went on the rampage on the streets of London with a huge zombie knife. in May this year. Thankfully nobody was injured and due to the entire incident being captured on film Gardner was soon arrest and today had his day in court.I’m doing everything I can to help officers make our streets safer. Since April, our City Hall-funded Violent Crime Taskforce has seized 475 knives and recovered 348 other offensive weapons, and made over 2,000 arrests.https://t.co/71aI96LCOt— Sadiq Khan (@SadiqKhan) November 27, 2018
