Two arrests after Worthing stabbing (From The Argus)

He was treated by paramedics being taken to hospital.


The vitim was stabbed twice in the abdomen and once in the thigh
Who was taking the Paramedics to Hospital?Also what is a Vitim come on Argus there is a mistake in nearly every article lately what does one do to become a Journalist?

This is what happens when your reporter can bang out a story on his/her tablet sitting in a car and post it straight to the website with one click before heading down to the pub for the afternoon.

Why oh why cannot people solve their disagreements without resorting to violence? Wasn't it Churchill who said, "To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war"

This kind of thing seems to be happening more and more in Sussex.
Why would someone have a knife on them at a party in the first place?
Aren't parties supposed to be fun???

these must be really tough guys that cant settle an argument without violence,send them to serve a term in the war zones,they may become sensible,,,,or dead,,

yes, just before we bombed Dresden I think.

Sounds more like attempted murder to me, not just GBH.

I lived in Worthing many years ago, in the 70's and 80's. It used to be a sensible, quiet place. What happened to it?

most places were sensible, quiet places in the 70's & 80's possibly because we were not quite so multicultural and employment was more of a norm for youngsters,

Wow ... quite an indictment.
Following WWII the British Nationality Act 1948 was passed to allow 800 million people to settle in the UK without a visa. An average of 72,000 immigrants a year were settling in the UK during the 70s.

Immigration into the UK is nothing new.

Which only goes to show that we never really listen much but have always preferred the might over right approach.

May be worth creating prison build investment programmes; carry on the way we are that's our future!

and just a little after the Nazis had bombed London, Coventry, Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol, Warsaw, Krakow, Stalingrad, Liege, Dunkirk & their Condor Legion had devastated Guernica.
The point you were making Helena was precisely what?

Helena Handcart wasn't making a point. Merely showing the truth of a sentiment.

The point being that sometimes you have no other recourse than to use violence, try to keep up.

Then why not have said so rather than leave the comment open to interpretation?

Surely all comments are open to interpretation? It just depends on how you read them.

Yes. Interpretation is a fundamental aspect of communication, whether verbal or written. One reason context is so important as it will facilitate interpretation.

Another aspect is that if your comment is out of context, the likelihood of a wrong interpretation is significantly increased. Something trolls and flamers utilise to the fullest to disrupt internet comment threads.

There comes a point, in every conversation when you realise, continuing is futile, at that point, depending on how strongly you feel about it, or how strong you are, enforce your will. It makes that person... more agreeable in future...

immegration may not be new but as i recall the original purpose was to fill job vacancies. For many of todays children of immigrants the only work they do is drug dealing, it seems to be quite a popular occupation in worthing, though surprisingly the current active buch have come down from london including some that are on the loose from care homes. the police are well aware and monitoring, one "lost Soul" was picked up recently and taken back to london
britian famously had its razor gangs,brighton and glasgow spring tomind, but stabbing becaused you "dissed" someone or simply looked at them the wrong way is a modern phenominom and principly started in the early 90's with an influx from the balkan peninsular and for reasons i am not aware of became commonplace amongst the black community

And of course because here we have a man who happened to be stabbed after leaving a party you automatically connect it with the to you inexplicable phenomenon of stabbing for dissing in the black community.

Makes perfect sense ... to a corkscrew ;)

By that reasoning, WWII should be celebrated because it gave rise to "Anne Franks Diary", "The Black Book" "The boy in the striped pyjamas" and numerous other highly acclaimed books and movies.

That however is not a reason to jump to conclusions that have been jumped to. And I quote: "most places were sensible, quiet places in the 70's & 80's possibly because we were not quite so multicultural and employment was more of a norm for youngsters ...". Especially when all we have is the rather limited information in the article above.

Statistics only give a historical average. That does not mean that incidents that run contrary to that average cannot occur.

And yes, to intimate as John Steed has done that this is connected somehow to immigration and multiculturalism is indeed racist. Possibly the worst form of racism in that it is an inherent, unconscious racism.

clearly you have a cloudy memory.. there were plenty of stabbings in the 80's.. and violent crime is actually on the downturn and has been for many years..
so what was that about immigration again?
get your facts straight before hitting 'submit' please!
