Myra Hindley was an outlier, once in a generation case. Women and girls are murdered by their husbands, boyfriends, men they rejected etc on a constant basis. It's not a good comparison.
It's about frequency. Men harassing and harming women in domestics is much more common than the other way around. Obviously not all men are bad, but the problem is is statistically a male problem, by a large margin.
If the problem is men, then is it also true to say "the problem is Muslims" when a Muslim extremist commits an act of terror? If you have an issue blaming all Muslims for the actions of an unbalanced individual, but you don't have the same issue blaming all men, maybe you have a personal issue with men.
There you go! You really do have problem with Muslims. Because , usually when one Muslim does wrong behaviour, Media is quick to label this on all Muslims . Unlike when one Christain does bad behavior and the whole media gets silent about it.

None of them are weapons though. They absolutely can be used as weapons or to kill someone however they were not made with the sole purpose of being a killing machine. Crossbows however were made with the sole purpose of killing. I don't think they should ban crossbows though, heaby regulate them maybe bc ordinary citizens dont actually need weapons (actual weapons not things that could be used as weapons) but they shouldn't be banned. The argument of when are they banning this, this or that makes nonsemse bc you are trying to compare actual weapons, actual killing machines to other things that were designed for a completely different purpose but of course like almost everything can be used as a weapon
66.97 million people in the UK and you want to ban crossbows because one little wasteman goes on a spree :/ Stop trying to punish the many of one individuals actions
If you count the visa overstays or illegal immigrants the number is much higher, mainly in cities. It was estimated at 77-80 million 15 years ago. Repatriation needs to happen
Not all men. I read yesterday that 200 women every year are killed by their partners. The estimate is that 1 in 7 women experiences assault/DV in her lifetime. Recently there's been a lot of rhetoric about men being falsely accused of assaults. It's always by the same type of man though - one who has an agenda. It's a lot more common than you think.

Ah yeah ... but that was probably a man's fault ... somewhere, somehow. When a woman goes apeshit or does something sick, she's deprived of agency. Some Man probably made her do it or drove her to it. ... When one man does something sick, the entire male sex has to take accountability for it. Them's the rules.

erm they are literally illegal. this may surprise you but its actually illegal to kill anyone in the uk without a pretty good reason. although given the press flare ups you would imagine that only white men have laws protecting them. which is weird given that being female is the single best thing you can do to avoid being murdered...
@@femmefatale71 50% of domestic violence is mutual. Of the 50% of domestic violence that is not mutual, women commit 70% of it. Women are also more likely to use weapons or to invite violence by proxy. Men are more likely to kill from blows. Lesbian relationships have the highest rate of DV, gay men have the lowest. Overall, most men don't commit domestic violence but you're still willing to paint all men with the same brush.
Why blame the mother and not the father? The news report is about a man who killed three women.. why are we trying to blame a mother that wasn’t involved in the situation?
That's like saying all women are the problem when it comes to false allegations of SA, etc... It's individuals. I'm a man. I've never owned a crossbow or murdered anyone.
Most men aren't going to kill someone with a crossbow.. There is a problem with male tendencies towards violence, power and sex, I don't think it's wrong to suggest that males behave significantly worse than females in society. But yeah, most of you aren't crossbow murderers and it's wrong to suggest that.
Well the difference is false allegations arent a common issue whilst violence towards women and forms of misogyny (that manifest through SA) is very very common. No ones saying its all men, but this issue of mens treatment of women is one to point out. This murder was only one extreme of this problem that is undeniable in society.
@@pinklov4447 Interestingly enough if one bothers to look at rates of domestic violence, according to one such study, 43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of bisexual women have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime, compared to 35% of heterosexual women. Other studies point to parity.
Men kill themsleves more often than women because they use more violent (deadly) methods. Women actually attempt suicide more often but studies have found dying women care more about how their death impacts their family than men, who care more about their own suffering. So women chose less violent methods to leave less of a traumatising mess for whoever finds the body. And when males have set up a system that equates masculinity with having no deep or meaningful social connections, it’s no wonder you try to kill yourselves. Maybe stop calling women sensitive and hysterical and realise you ought to be more like us.

So much DARVO from men in these comments . Men Commit most and a lot is towards women and we have a growing culture of violent misogyny. Gaslighting because your fragile egos are hurt will not make the problem Go away. Stop taking this conversation personally.
@peterholden3672what a stupid question. He doesn't need a reason. If someone wants to kill, they could fund numerous ways of doing it. Should they ban everything? Kitchen knives? Ban them next.
when 'the woke reason' is the one backed by facts and reality, then yes: "Women were more likely to be killed by someone they knew than men, for example, of the 100 domestic homicide victims in the year ending March 2023, 70 were women." - "Homicide in England and Wales: year ending March 2023", Office for National Statistics
@@anastasiarose4482 ohhh goody people who pretend not to understand which number is bigger, and thus come to the conclusion that women being 4x less likely to be murdered than men means we live in a society that despises women(the total opposite of the claim made with minorities/gays etc ie where outsized victimhood equates to more risk) lecturing people about being precise on definitions... presumably the third reich loved jews and hated aryans. after all they killed more aryans. makes 'perfect' sense. christ...
To blame all men is definitely irresponsible. However most men do need to be taught how to deal with rejection. These women died because the killer couldn’t deal with his girlfriend breaking up with him. Last year in London, a school age girl got stabbed as she stood up for her friend against her friends ex boyfriend. It’s just unacceptable, the violence against women and young girls.
Noone should be killed by a crossbow. You can't control what animals do. This is why a lot of women say they'd rather be alone with a bear than a man. Sure the bear might eat you but at least there's not going to be any malice involved and it's not going to drag it out for pleasure or whatever. Not a single woman should ever be killed by a man, i don't see why you think this is acceptable just because dogs kill?
@@CashMNey Silly strawman argument and it's part of the problem. You might not mean it to come across this way but you're kinda defending your "right" to harm women. This is why you're so scary to so many of us.
I always find it funny that people will focus on the 1 man that did the awful crime, but miss the 10+ men that arrested him, charged him, gaurd him in prison, etc.. For every bad man, there are plenty that are there to punish him! IN WHAT WORLD IS IT ALL MEN!
@BritishMummy Yeah it's not just women that have that.. If there is no evidence, or at least enough to be able to charge, the police won't help. It happens to both men and women, the only difference is that women get noticed when they die, men don't.

@@jamieT374 not saying they should be banned, just that it’s an object designed primarily to maim and kill. Unlike hammers etc. I think there should now be more control out in place as to who can buy one, similar to gun rules. It makes sense.
Yes! Violence against women is escalating. Someone please give this man a medal for having the courage to speak up & speak out without worrying about the backlash he will receive for being honest. These days everyone wants to look the other way or become offended by something that they feel is a personal attack. Women are not safe & yes violence against women is escalating. Facts!
Making ordinary people doing ordinary things into criminals does not reduce the number of crimes committed it simply makes it easier for the government to find excuses for locking up their political enemies.
And it's a way for lazy authorities to make it look like they've addressed the problem without actually doing anything about it. Every time there's an issue needing to be addressed instead of putting in the time and effort to look at why something happened and what can be done to address the underlying causes they just ban things instead which requires zero effort and allows them to pat themselves on the back believing they've fixed the problem.
i dont use crossbows but i am sick of this nanny state reaction to things like this where there are instant calls to ban "X" item that was used to do something bad. If it wasnt a crossbow it would be something else. The person who committed the act is evil not the thing he used. Get a friggin grip
Because this affected someone in the media there’s a call to ban crossbows! Meanwhile there were appx 50,000 “knife incidents” in the UK last year how about ban all knives !
Disgraceful thing to say and blame Men ? Of course theres bad men and bad women but how dare you blame Men ? Don't you think it's something to do with society as I'm not that religious but we were taught the basic Moral's to live by in the 70"s etc but there are no guide lines anymore and now lot's of different cultures who don't treasure us women .
One person uses a crossbow irresponsibly and now we're all to be banned from having them. Such an over reaction. More people die of cars every day. Why not ban them? People are so quick to and even seem desperate to have more and more restrictions and controls put on their lives. Those who would give up their freedoms for safety deserve neither. The less responsibility you give people, the less responsible they become.
No, the problem is idiots who call for banning crossbows because they don't want to do what's really necessary. What was the man's background and what drugs was he taking?
This might seem petty to some people but I think it's important that we start saying "some men" or "certain men" in these types of conversations because using blanket terms leads to tarring us all with the same brush and generalised negative attitudes towards all men, which isn't fair. Women don't like it when men label them all the same, so why is it ok to do it to men? Believe it or not, we are not all sex-crazed, abusive, and murderous savages. The vast majority of us are decent, hard-working, law-abiding, family men, some of whom have daughters and sisters that we would absolutely protect from such abhorrent behaviour.
Doesn’t really matter if most of you are decent people. We don’t know which of you are genuinely safe and which of you might hurt us, so women have to be weary of all men, all the time. And if we aren’t we get blamed for our own deaths, but if we are we get called “man haters” and prejudiced just for acknowledging we are never safe. Also idk where you got the idea men protect women because it’s pretty much always women who end up looking out for other women.
@@mazzy_vc Hey there. I'm not going to pretend for one second that I know what it must feel like for a woman to have unwanted attention or worse from men, but I think to claim that women "have to be wary of all men, all the time" is a little on the extreme side, don't you think? Maybe it comes down to personal experiences and views but it's my belief that that kind of language only adds to the unfair negative attitudes towards men in general. Should we be wary of all people from a certain religious group or skin colour all the time because of bad things that a small minority of their people do? No, we shouldn't because that's being prejudiced. Also, I find it astounding and terribly sad that the idea of men protecting women is foreign to you because where I come from it is second nature.
@@mazzy_vcSo would this apply towards the misogyny in Islamic communities and countries. Why are feminist silent then? It’s not western men committing honour k*llings or enforcing women having cover themselves up. It’s misandry and can be gotten away with, while having a double standard towards cultures.
@@mazzy_vcyou say that it’s pretty much always women who look out for other women, so explain why rapists and abusers have far more to fear in prison than other convicts? What about the good guys that get prison sentences for stepping in to deal with rapists and abusers when the law won’t? The idea that men just sit back and watch whilst other men abuse women is a straight up lie
When someone like him says men are the problem, I have to assume he shares a similar desire to do bad things to women, but “controls” it. And that he assumes it’s a desire throughout all men, but not all are as “strong” as he is to fight it (assuming he has). Because if he held no such desires, then he’d know categorically that men aren’t and can’t be the problem, because it doesn’t exist in him, therefore there must be others that it doesn’t exist in. So it’s interesting when people think like that. For example it’s overwhelmingly men that stop violent attackers, be it good Samaritans, or the police. So shouldn’t men also be gifted blanket free reign based off that fact too? Or something like kid fiddlers, some people are sick and attracted to children, but not everyone is, so you can’t say men are the problem. And if someone was to say that men are the problem, it indicates an innate belief that that desire resides within all men, and that they’re just suppressing it. Point being I’d trust this guy around women, a heck of a lot less than someone who understands it’s not a male problem. I’d bet money he’s got some skeletons in his closet
The problem here is the person! If it hadn’t of been a crossbow it would have been another weapon. He had been in the army, was he suffering from ptsd or mental health problems? Should they have reported him to be watched or had he just lost it to rejection. Poor family. Nobody deserves what he did.
This now reminds me of an Irish murder. The first in the area in half a century . Suddenly men were the problem, in peaceful Ireland.... where this had never happened in over 50 years... Suddenly every negative experience with a man was part of a wider problem with Irish men and their attitudes to women. And then it came out... The guy wasn't Irish.. he was an immigrant... So those on the left on twitter suddenly stopped talking about him and now people on the right started blaming every immigrant... and so the blame game goes on.
The problem is almost always men. Occasionally we’ll get a Lucy letby but guys seem to think it’s okay to do this stuff when they’re having problems or whatever. Doesn’t matter where he comes from, just that it’s usually him.
@@jaybee4288 How is what you are saying relevant at all? The man was in a relationship with one of the victims. If he's part of a wider social trend of poor treatment of women he would never of been in a relationship with her in the first place. He would never be put in a position of trust.His behaviour when said relationship broke down is completely unacceptable and abnormal. Men in general don't grab a crossbow when they break up with a girlfriend. This a complete freak event.
@@jaybee4288"guys seem to think it's okay to do this stuff when their having problems" Absolutely ridiculous statement. If this were true, you would see a lot more women being murdered. The vast majority of men know how to keep their emotions under control. The problem is, that even if 0.01% of men were prone to violence, that would still make up over 300,000 violent individuals in the UK alone. Not real numbers but it should at least show that even if 99.9% of men never lifted a hand to anyone, there would still be enough violent men out there to cause some damage. But sure, keep saying it's all men that are the problem.
I guess he could be an immigrant. He could also be mentally ill. Most people would find it abhorrent if all immigrants or mentally ill men were labelled as potentially dangerous on account of one murdering lunatic.
I would venture to say this would be unacceptable behaviour against men aswell. To generalise about an entire group of individuals by saying the problem is men, is completely out of line. Its also men that will be keeping this guys off the streets
No, this isn't about hatred and contempt for men, as one commentator says. It's about challenging and changing predominant male attitudes. Mr Sullivan is being factually correct when he says that abuse from men to women is endemic. Read the facts on the UK Rape Crisis website or read some of Laura Bates' writing, which makes for deeply upsetting reading but is based on her years of research, including documenting women's experiences of sexual harassment. When supposedly 'minor' examples of unacceptable male behaviour are dismissed then that behaviour implicitly becomes acceptable, and when a woman's discomfort is trivialised it sends a message that what women object to doesn't matter. There is ample evidence that the bloke who starts off by 'flashing' is likely to move on to rape. In the same way men joking about giving the other half a slap are condoning and encouraging domestic abuse. Of course not all men abuse women but l'll bet there isn't one man reading this thread who has never heard another man say something derogatory about women AND either laughed along (however uncomfortably) or not challenged their point of view. BTW women being derogatory and dismissive about men is similarly insidious.

What about the unacceptable behaviour towards men? And babies? By women? Oh wait, that’s deemed entirely acceptable. Don’t expect things to change with this kind of poisonous rhetoric.
To anyone who says men are the problem, let me ask you this........Do you live in a house/apartment? Do you have a plumbing system in your home? Do you drive a car? Do you work in a building? Do you have freedom? Yes to all/some of those?...........Well guess what..........it was MEN.....yes MEN, who built and maintained all of those things. MEN built the home you live in, MEN built the car you drive and the roads you drive on, MEN installed the plumbing system in your home, MEN fought and died in wars so that you could have your freedom. MEN build the world, and yes there are a minority of women that do those things but MEN far outweigh women in all of those things that keep the world ticking. So before you go off slating men, just remember all of those things that you have that MEN gave you!

Can we stop the mysogenistic culture narrative. I have found your copper normally quite practical. There are men and women in the country, both do bad things. Men do it physically, wlomen reputationally, whichbdestroys lives as well. Bad upbringing, indulgence, self absorption,pandering to kids, woke self indulgence in schools, no respect, no consequences during school for bad actions, all have a role to play. If we sort that out, there will be fewer monsters around. There have always been and always be monsters who should be locked up for longer and not be pandered to, victims first.

This man uses a crossbow to commit a crime, they then call to ban crossbows. The commenter was making a point that people use alcohol and commit crimes, like the man uses a crossbow as they are both tools directly used in the crime, yet we don't then call for bans on alcohol, do we?

Yes. It really is ridiculous isn't it.
Women can no longer be trusted around babies.
I'm sorry, but Lucy Letby just denied all women that right
That's not the logic at all. He was talking about every day misogyny which is normalized.
Myra Hindley was an outlier, once in a generation case. Women and girls are murdered by their husbands, boyfriends, men they rejected etc on a constant basis. It's not a good comparison.
It's about frequency. Men harassing and harming women in domestics is much more common than the other way around. Obviously not all men are bad, but the problem is is statistically a male problem, by a large margin.
If the problem is men, then is it also true to say "the problem is Muslims" when a Muslim extremist commits an act of terror?
If you have an issue blaming all Muslims for the actions of an unbalanced individual, but you don't have the same issue blaming all men, maybe you have a personal issue with men.
Good point
What is it with you people and Muslims? What's with this hatred? Absolutely stupid take!
There you go! You really do have problem with Muslims. Because , usually when one Muslim does wrong behaviour, Media is quick to label this on all Muslims . Unlike when one Christain does bad behavior and the whole media gets silent about it.
That and cowardice.

It is quite stupid to say the problem is men, its not men, it is individuals .

When are we banning cars, water deeper than 5cm, all wire and rope, kitchen utensils all prescription drugs then?
And alcohol.
None of them are weapons though. They absolutely can be used as weapons or to kill someone however they were not made with the sole purpose of being a killing machine. Crossbows however were made with the sole purpose of killing. I don't think they should ban crossbows though, heaby regulate them maybe bc ordinary citizens dont actually need weapons (actual weapons not things that could be used as weapons) but they shouldn't be banned. The argument of when are they banning this, this or that makes nonsemse bc you are trying to compare actual weapons, actual killing machines to other things that were designed for a completely different purpose but of course like almost everything can be used as a weapon

"The problem... is men" ahh, the hate movement continues
Hate against men? That’s weird I only see people saying they hate men but I see men who hate women murdering and abusing them. It’s almost as if men are the ones actually consumed by hate and the victims are fed up of pretending like the predators aren’t almost always male.
1 man kills people with a crossbow and suddenly we are against men and against crossbows.... mental
95% of family annihilators are men, sounds like a male problem to me
Millions of women and girls are abused, mutilated, raped and murdered by men and you still can’t acknowledge males are the problem. Insanely stupid.
its not just one man is it???? theres news about a woman being killed by a man every other day because of rejection or hate. men are problematic as fuc
Yup, I don't know why nobody is looking at the lack of mental health support and help for men. It's so inadequate. Women get far more help with that.

So women can’t be around babies because of Lucy letby ?
Ah yeah ... but that was probably a man's fault ... somewhere, somehow. When a woman goes apeshit or does something sick, she's deprived of agency. Some Man probably made her do it or drove her to it. ... When one man does something sick, the entire male sex has to take accountability for it. Them's the rules.

@@femmefatale71 50% of domestic violence is mutual. Of the 50% of domestic violence that is not mutual, women commit 70% of it.

Lesbian relationships have the highest rate of DV, gay men have the lowest.

But yeah, most of you aren't crossbow murderers and it's wrong to suggest that.
Well the difference is false allegations arent a common issue whilst violence towards women and forms of misogyny (that manifest through SA) is very very common. No ones saying its all men, but this issue of mens treatment of women is one to point out. This murder was only one extreme of this problem that is undeniable in society.
@@pinklov4447 Interestingly enough if one bothers to look at rates of domestic violence, according to one such study, 43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of

Other studies point to parity.
Unacceptable behaviour towards anyone, not just women!
How many Evil woman have we seen so that makes all woman evil according to there thinking
We men can do anything including nothing at all and we still get blamed. No wonder makes suicides are so high
Men kill themsleves more often than women because they use more violent (deadly) methods. Women actually attempt suicide more often but studies have found dying women care more about how their death impacts their family than men, who care more about their own suffering. So women chose less violent methods to leave less of a traumatising mess for whoever finds the body. And when males have set up a system that equates masculinity with having no deep or meaningful social connections, it’s no wonder you try to kill yourselves. Maybe stop calling women sensitive and hysterical and realise you ought to be more like us.
most murderers are men and it’s a problem. stop victimising yourself.

but this goes further. the claim here is that being 1/4 ie a minority of murder victims shows that the country loathes women, which is odd for a country in which 3/4 of victims of murder are male and which mass disposed of its men twice last century but not its women. stretching rather to pretend that female life is seen as throwaway in the uk, certainly relative to male life, i would suggest for anyone more sentient than an earthworm...

To blame all men is definitely irresponsible. However most men do need to be taught how to deal with rejection.

These days everyone wants to look the other way or become offended by something that they feel is a personal attack. Women are not safe & yes violence against women is escalating. Facts!
Making ordinary people doing ordinary things into criminals does not reduce the number of crimes committed it simply makes it easier for the government to find excuses for locking up their political enemies.
And it's a way for lazy authorities to make it look like they've addressed the problem without actually doing anything about it. Every time there's an issue needing to be addressed instead of putting in the time and effort to look at why something happened and what can be done to address the underlying causes they just ban things instead which requires zero effort and allows them to pat themselves on the back believing they've fixed the problem.
STOP demonizing men.

Truly, a woke idiot.
This might seem petty to some people but I think it's important that we start saying "some men" or "certain men" in these types of conversations because using blanket terms leads to tarring us all with the same brush and generalised negative attitudes towards all men, which isn't fair. Women don't like it when men label them all the same, so why is it ok to do it to men? Believe it or not, we are not all sex-crazed, abusive, and murderous savages. The vast majority of us are decent, hard-working, law-abiding, family men, some of whom have daughters and sisters that we would absolutely protect from such abhorrent behaviour.
yes, many women are scared of men. I take a body camera with me now.
Doesn’t really matter if most of you are decent people. We don’t know which of you are genuinely safe and which of you might hurt us, so women have to be weary of all men, all the time. And if we aren’t we get blamed for our own deaths, but if we are we get called “man haters” and prejudiced just for acknowledging we are never safe. Also idk where you got the idea men protect women because it’s pretty much always women who end up looking out for other women.
@@mazzy_vc Hey there. I'm not going to pretend for one second that I know what it must feel like for a woman to have unwanted attention or worse from men, but I think to claim that women "have to be wary of all men, all the time" is a little on the extreme side, don't you think? Maybe it comes down to personal experiences and views but it's my belief that that kind of language only adds to the unfair negative attitudes towards men in general. Should we be wary of all people from a certain religious group or skin colour all the time because of bad things that a small minority of their people do? No, we shouldn't because that's being prejudiced. Also, I find it astounding and terribly sad that the idea of men protecting women is foreign to you because where I come from it is second nature.
@@mazzy_vcSo would this apply towards the misogyny in Islamic communities and countries.
Why are feminist silent then? It’s not western men committing honour k*llings or enforcing women having cover themselves up.
It’s misandry and can be gotten away with, while having a double standard towards cultures.
@@mazzy_vcyou say that it’s pretty much always women who look out for other women, so explain why rapists and abusers have far more to fear in prison than other convicts? What about the good guys that get prison sentences for stepping in to deal with rapists and abusers when the law won’t? The idea that men just sit back and watch whilst other men abuse women is a straight up lie
When someone like him says men are the problem, I have to assume he shares a similar desire to do bad things to women, but “controls” it. And that he assumes it’s a desire throughout all men, but not all are as “strong” as he is to fight it (assuming he has). Because if he held no such desires, then he’d know categorically that men aren’t and can’t be the problem, because it doesn’t exist in him, therefore there must be others that it doesn’t exist in. So it’s interesting when people think like that. For example it’s overwhelmingly men that stop violent attackers, be it good Samaritans, or the police. So shouldn’t men also be gifted blanket free reign based off that fact too?
Or something like kid fiddlers, some people are sick and attracted to children, but not everyone is, so you can’t say men are the problem. And if someone was to say that men are the problem, it indicates an innate belief that that desire resides within all men, and that they’re just suppressing it.
Point being I’d trust this guy around women, a heck of a lot less than someone who understands it’s not a male problem. I’d bet money he’s got some skeletons in his closet

This now reminds me of an Irish murder. The first in the area in half a century . Suddenly men were the problem, in peaceful Ireland.... where this had never happened in over 50 years... Suddenly every negative experience with a man was part of a wider problem with Irish men and their attitudes to women. And then it came out... The guy wasn't Irish.. he was an immigrant... So those on the left on twitter suddenly stopped talking about him and now people on the right started blaming every immigrant... and so the blame game goes on.

The problem is men. What I have to do with this? What most of us have to do with it?
I KNEW this would be twisted into a ban on crossbows!
No, this isn't about hatred and contempt for men, as one commentator says. It's about challenging and changing predominant male attitudes. Mr Sullivan is being factually correct when he says that abuse from men to women is endemic. Read the facts on the UK Rape Crisis website or read some of Laura Bates' writing, which makes for deeply upsetting reading but is based on her years of research, including documenting women's experiences of sexual harassment. When supposedly 'minor' examples of unacceptable male behaviour are dismissed then that behaviour implicitly becomes acceptable, and when a woman's discomfort is trivialised it sends a message that what women object to doesn't matter. There is ample evidence that the bloke who starts off by 'flashing' is likely to move on to rape. In the same way men joking about giving the other half a slap are condoning and encouraging domestic abuse. Of course not all men abuse women but l'll bet there isn't one man reading this thread who has never heard another man say something derogatory about women AND either laughed along (however uncomfortably) or not challenged their point of view.
BTW women being derogatory and dismissive about men is similarly insidious.
Crimes against children which are predominately committed by women is endemic but where is the discussion involving that extremely serious issue?
Glad he did not use a kitchen knife then. Have no idea how I would cut up the veggies after the ban. The knee jerk stupidity is rife in this once free country...
There's two sides to every story but I suppose we'll only hear one.
I am glad i am single and happy and don't need a man or s woman , i need to just feel happy and that only happens being on my own. This puts me off ever changing my mind,
Psycho peope who can't take rejection killing others and their family.
I can't imagine the pain John Hunt and his family are going through, i just cannot even begin to think..
This Peter Bleksley guy has the most appauling case of double standards. He says, rightly, that Colin Pitchfork should now remain in prison because he's clearly a danger to the public. He does however also believe that 'community service' for an attack on a teenage boy with a machete is adequate punishment, as in the case of Jay Slater, the missing lad who was involved in a similar attack.
@@kt5661 Well if that doesn't tell you what kind of clowns we got on leading us
Peter Bleksley talks absolute rubbish. Time to stop bringing him in. Absolute clown.
there is a problem with mental health in this country, since we mostly gave up providing any consistent care in this field.
we give more care than we ever have
@@NickHunter We actually do not. Unless ofcourse you are well off. Many people are not given proper care because of their social rankings. I have worked in independent non profit organisations within Europe and the actual stats will show you. Just because we do it better than Russia or other countries doesn't mean we doing it right.
@@NickHunter That’s wrong. There was much better care for mental health back in the 00’s, before the Tories came in, in 2010 and undid all of that.
Exactly banning Crossbow would do no good
Ban pointed sticks. Ban stones. Ban fists. Ban human interaction of any kind just encase something bad happens.
Here we go again. "The problem is men"
This is one of the reasons why I cross the street when I see a girl coming towards me.
I agree , ok I do believe he is to blame because of his jealousy, but as a mother of two sons I've had to deal with some right evil cows , one who claimed false rape , made her really regret her accusation....
A lot is down to the culture that has come into this Country from 1950s. Whereas the initial immigrants settled in well, their sprogs and sproglets ever since has given us cannabis and knife crimes. The more recent culture do not rate women highly so the attacks against women are rising.
Banning Crossbows because of the action of one man. Forget it.
Because you don't care!
The crossbow isn’t the problem. Stop blaming the tool and start blaming the user, the tool can’t pick itself up and act on its own, it requires a tapped owner.
EXACTLY
He did blame the user…he literally pointed out it was yet another violent male deciding to take his anger out on women. Did u even watch the clip?
@@mazzy_vc Address the calls for crossbows to be banned then, please. That’s the entire point of my comment. The crossbow didn’t do anything, it cannot in fact, do anything. It is solely the user that is to blame and full responsibility should go to them, the tool shouldn’t be banned because its user is tapped
@@mazzy_vc I'm more concerned about the countless violent females who take out their anger on innocent children.
“Unacceptable Behaviour Towards Women!” - so it IS acceptable behaviour towards men then?
god our media is such a fucking joke
What about the unacceptable behaviour towards men? And babies? By women? Oh wait, that’s deemed entirely acceptable. Don’t expect things to change with this kind of poisonous rhetoric.
To anyone who says men are the problem, let me ask you this........Do you live in a house/apartment? Do you have a plumbing system in your home? Do you drive a car? Do you work in a building? Do you have freedom? Yes to all/some of those?...........Well guess what..........it was MEN.....yes MEN, who built and maintained all of those things. MEN built the home you live in, MEN built the car you drive and the roads you drive on, MEN installed the plumbing system in your home, MEN fought and died in wars so that you could have your freedom. MEN build the world, and yes there are a minority of women that do those things but MEN far outweigh women in all of those things that keep the world ticking. So before you go off slating men, just remember all of those things that you have that MEN gave you!
Dayum, ah luv the smell of testosterone in the morning
Given the number of pillows used as a murder weapon, pillows ought to be licenced and police officers ought to make regular home visits to inspect them. UK logic.
The law needs to change! Why does someone have to be physically attacked before anything is ever done! I hope the positive from this horrific incident is that the law is changed! NAME N SHAME TOO
Can we stop the mysogenistic culture narrative. I have found your copper normally quite practical. There are men and women in the country, both do bad things. Men do it physically, wlomen reputationally, whichbdestroys lives as well.
Bad upbringing, indulgence, self absorption,pandering to kids, woke self indulgence in schools, no respect, no consequences during school for bad actions, all have a role to play. If we sort that out, there will be fewer monsters around. There have always been and always be monsters who should be locked up for longer and not be pandered to, victims first.
Blame men!!! I blame the total lack of any adequate funding for NHS mental health services not getting the treatment/help they need.. and to return to the tag line... wasnt a large contingent he cabinet of the previous govt (that has virtually gutted the NHS throughout its reign!!) been female.. sure...blame men as a cop out,but blame the politico's who screwed the NHS up.
Crazy how much the media wants to use a tragedy to drive us all further all part. “The problem is men” god what an intentionally inflammatory stupid statement. This is a tragedy and certainly a part of a wider problem with abuse rates nowadays and my thoughts go out to all women affected, especially those who lost their lives in this tragedy. Let’s mourn and send condolences and not be turned against eachother by stupid rage bait
No the problem isn't men, the problem is the justice and prison system
it is male culture
@@beaulieuc8910 It's not
@@beaulieuc8910sooo statistically speaking, virtually every single male will never murder, assault or abuse a female, but “male culture” is the root cause for these incredibly rare cases…?
You can make a crossbow with sticks
you can make a cross
Some of the crossbow/slingshot rifles prisoners have made with just stuff from their cells are crazy.
Three sticks, to be precise. A tough but flexible sapling for the bow, a backwards L-shaped piece of branch for the trigger, and a stout piece of oak with a rectangular hole for the trigger and a groove for the bowstring
You can't actually.
It's undeniably true that adding more men from north Africa will improve this issue.
The problem is a MAN not MEN.
