“War Zone”: London Hospital Admits Trump Right on Knife Crime Epidemic, But Disagrees with Second Amendment Stance

27

Even when the Brits get it right, they get it wrong.

In his address to the NRA, President Trump highlighted the deadly knife crime epidemic in Khan’s London: “It’s Like a War Zone.” The hospital in Sadiq Khan’s London which U.S. President Donald Trump described as a “war zone” following a wave of deadly knife attacks agreed with President Trump. But, of course, there is always a but with the Brits.

London Hospital Admits Trump Right on Knife Crime Epidemic, But Disagrees with Second Amendment Stance

by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, 5 May 2018:
The hospital in Sadiq Khan’s London which U.S. President Donald Trump described as a “war zone” following a wave of deadly knife attacks has issued a statement responding to the controversy.

“Knife violence is a serious issue for London,” admitted Professor Karim Brohi, trauma surgeon at The Royal London Hospital and Director of London’s major trauma system.

“We are proud of the excellent trauma care we provide and of our violence reduction programmes,” he added.

“The Royal London Hospital has cut the number of our young patients returning after further knife attacks from 45 per cent to 1 per cent.”

However, the government employee took the slightly unusual step of following up his admission with a critique of President Trump’s strong stance in favour of gun rights for law-abiding citizens, writing: “There is more we can all do to combat this violence, but to suggest guns are part of the solution is ridiculous.”

He added: “Gunshot wounds are at least twice as lethal as knife injuries and more difficult to repair. We are proud of our world-leading service and to serve the people of London.”

It should be noted that President Trump did not suggest the criminals responsible for knife crime should be equipped with guns instead, but that the right of regular citizens to armed self-defence through the Second Amendment should be upheld.

It should also be noted that gun crime has been increasing in London despite a near-total ban on the legal ownership of handguns, rising by 42 per cent from 2015/16 to 2016/17.

President Trump made his comments on the London knife crime epidemic after Dr Mark Griffths, a lead trauma surgeon at Professor Brohi’s hospital, said that “military colleagues have described their practice here as similar to being at [Camp] Bastion” in Afghanistan.

“We used to look after people in their twenties. Now people are often in their mid to late teens and children in school uniforms are being admitted under our care with knife and gun wounds,” he added.

In later comments, Dr Griffths said that the situation was now “looking more like South Africa” than Great Britain, with the treatment of children and teenagers with life-threatening injuries having become “the bread and butter” of his practice.

What the informed onlooker now sees in far too many parts of London is the physical manifestation of 60 years of black immigration and apology for so called “white racism” by self loathing whites as Enoch Powell predicted.

There have been no great civilisations founded by Africans anywhere, let alone in Africa and even today 60 years after decolonisation started, Africa is still the only continent unable to feed its people. {We’ll overlook controlling population growth, educating its young and finding good jobs for them too}.

Those kids have been let down by those who pretend to be their “parents” true, but where is the self belief in bettering themselves BY their own efforts and application ? They live in a first world developed country NOT in some southern African township, in London and England they have all the chances they’ll find anywhere else but they prefer what they know best, fathering more baskets, drug dealing and gang warfare.

It’s the few but noted exceptions to the rule that stand out, but they remain too few. Its no credit to the rest to be regarded as black worthless violent scum that’s a plague upon those who do pull their weight.

Five words sum up Britain’s future thanks to its catastrophic freefall into multiculturalism and diversity – “LOOKING MORE LIKE SOUTH AFRICA”.

When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
It’s funny but I used to know a convicted felon who had access to a handgun — through his wife and frequently carried it on his person.
I can’t imagine why muslum terrorists wouldn’t respect the United Kaliphate’s gun control laws…

Don’t need to carry a spouse’s legal firearm. I won’t go into detail, but I had an opportunity, in Cleveland proper, to purchase a fully automatic M-10, in 9mm, for around Three Hundred US Yankee Greenback Dollars.
I’ve heard of Sigs going for two hunnert … If you have the cash … you can get the gun …. Hell, why go to Fin, Fur, and Feather … drop seven hunnert, to legally purchase a P-320 .. when a couple of hundy’ll get the job done on the street?
Legal ownership MUST be banned … An honest citizen might actually defend him/her self We cannot tolerate that!

A Mac-10 for $300? A Sig for $200? If true, sure sign they were illegal guns, though I doubt your story. I have the audacity to doubt your veracity.

They were illegal guns. I went into a long story about the M-10 around a month ago, on this forum. No sense in my lying … your doubting the veracity of that claim is not audacious, in the least. It’s a valid doubt.
I do challenge your knowledge of firearms … as to think that one can purchase an M-10, legally, without the pre-86 license trail that accompanies the firearm … Educate yourself, Mike.

Dorrie, that M-10 was under a mattress, in the “hood”. However, if you’re willing to pay the price … and have a clean record … A US citizen over the age of majority … CAN legally own a fully automatic firearm.

That is NOT true, Dorrie. Any fully automatic firearm, manufactured, legally possessed, and registered in the US, prior to May 19th of 1986 is legal. The license, attached to each … runs into the thousands, and sometimes, the tens of thousands. I know two men that own them, legally own them.

Dorrie, you’re a great lady, a veteran and a patriot. However, on this you are SO wrong. Did you follow that link? There are THOUSANDS of legal, private owners of fully automatic firearms, in the United States of America. PERIOD.

LOL, I think the saying is usually “stick a fork in it it’s done” (as with say, a baked turkey or london broil), but maybe things are different in Canada.

so is France, Sweden, Germany, and many others because “we the people” don’t confront i-slam. It is brewing in America, and patriots will “git-r-done”. The politicians don’t defend their borders (because of EU ) so the people end up suffering. That sh-t will end soon, the people are waking up to the EU scam……….

He is trying to avoid the sad fact that many Pakistanis, young and old alike, are actually very susceptible to radicalization. 🙁

Stopping the war on one class of people is what is called racism and favoritism.

What needs to be done is bring back the death penalty for all killings that are malicious or planned. Raise the bar and include all who advocate the murder of anyone. Allow one appeal. If that fails, carry out the sentence.

Britain is pretty much lost, as is France, Germany and most of Scandinavia. Perhaps in Eastern Europe there is still some hope of salvation.

“The Royal London Hospital has cut the number of our young patients
returning after further knife attacks from 45 per cent to 1 per cent.” Down to 1% becasue they are waiting in line for “free” health care.

It appears that the Brits have forgotten their history….British Common Law…..the right to self defense…..and gun ownership was common…..now that the Brits are disarmed…..they are paying for it…..
