You know what we got here?

No I don't like it Warden.

I hate you so much because of that. Hell I'm gonna say it anyway.....
"What we've got here is failure to communicate"

They were both obviously nutters, getting into an argument over that. And no, it's not a text error. I really meant it. N-utters.

I find it sad that some people are complaining about these news stories. If you don't like the fact that it's not about video games, then don't comment. I say we need more stories on topics other than video games.

I think the real tragedy of this story is the lack of background checks required for the purchase of knives. Its time you stand up to your lobbyist knife-owners association and the house of lords whose pockets are lined with the blood spilled from knives, and force your government to phase out all knives in the UK. It will be a three-step plan, starting with background checks, ???, and finally profit.

We stand with you, UK. We will always stand with you.

this whole story is like WTF. i mean nutter or mutter wth difference does it make? either word is not cause for someone to go ape crazy with a knife and stab someone 100+ plus fing times. attacks like that are more along the lines of crimes of passion, or pure psychosis.

there had to be way more to this whole story than a misspelled word via a text thing, these guys were not random strangers, they knew each other for 6 months and were somewhat friendly. somone did something to the other banged the others gf, slept with their wife, killed their pet, something to kick this chain of events along. or one or both of them were pure insane to start with.

So a friend's phone accidently calls you a nutter and you decide to prove it right by stabbing him to death.
Sounds like the phone has him pegged dead on.

Yeah, yet another reason why I hate ducking predictive text.

don't be such a count.


Also, his response to being called a nutter was to prove his would be accusor wrong by ATTACKING HIM WITH A FUCKING KNIFE...

I mean..I...Fuck it.

No no no. A lot of comments have been saying this. Go back and read it PROPERLY - it wasn't the offended guy who did the stabbing. It was the original texter who did it in "self-defence" when he came round to his house.

Le Appologies on my part. I read it that the guy came round his house to attack him.

Nope. For all we know the poor sod went round to his house to talk it all out with tea and biscuits.
Still a crazy-as-shit tale though

Edit: Damn, these "type in the words to cut down on bot spam" tests are legitimately difficult. I spent ages deciding if that was an m or an nt.

I'm not really that surprised, Bolton is a massive pisshole. Also we love knives in this country, I mean knives are to Brits as guns are to Americans.

 

[Hungry Donner]

So apparently turning off predictive text has made my life slightly safer. Interesting...

I'm astonished more people don't turn it off.

 

[newfoundsky]

I demand the industry take steps to prevent this issue in the future! Also, make it easier to spell restaurant.

 

[SinisterGehe]

Get this off the escapist, if i want to read this kinda crap i'll go buy The Sun!

Did someone force you to read this article? If yes, then blame the person who forced you, not the content.


Honestly, that man has issues with anger... A stab to the heart as self defense? Isn't self defense mean to disable the attacker so you can escape , not to eliminate the attacker... (Here we go more kinder to the flame of self defense arguing)

 

[uppitycracker]

Wow, you'd think that at least half these commenters have been here long enough to realize that everything posted on this site isn't just video games news... Honestly, a predictive text messup leading to murder is EXACTLY what I'd expect to read here. Grow up people, if you don't like it, the door is that-a-way ---->

Yeah, yet another reason why I hate ducking predictive text.

haha this certainly made me lol

 

[The_Emperor]

see we have Hicks in England too, they use knives instead of guns.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

.....You're f**king with me, right? So these guys basically got into a knife fight over a text?

I mean, it's sad, but it's also bloody ridiculous.

Predictive Text Error Leads to Fatal Stabbing

The court was told that Witkowski suffered 104 injuries, including stab wounds, cuts, bruises and slice marks on his hands.

I'm thinking there's more here than a text misunderstanding...

I was thinking the same thing.

That's overkill, with a lot of emotions behind the swipes.

The words that were exchanged seem mild enough, so...

... Perhaps there's more here than meets the eye.

Maybe a classic example of, 'Caught the Wife in the Act'.

 

[Sparrow]

I'm sure there's a brilliant pun for this story, but I can't think of anything besides maybe "Gee, I suppose technology is really CUTTING EDGE hurr hurr."

If you don't care about the article, why did you comment? No one forced you to read it. If you didn't want to, read the headline and don't read further.

I'm sorry, but that is just a ridiculous counter-argument. These people want to show their disdain about the article being on the site, there is no other way they can do that without either commenting or sending a PM to a mod - who I highly doubt would take such a thing seriously.

I'm pretty sure nobody is going to appreciate your sentiment here. Guns are used only for hurting people and animals, and in the most case, fucking killing them. Knives are used to do such things as chop up your vegetables, cut your sandwich in half, spread butter on your toast... their main use in the household is not self defense. There's no reason to act like an ass here.

[sup]Also, I'd prefer if America got the hell away from England. I don't want my country blindly following your country into a stupid war because "herp derp, they're America! Fuck yeah!"[/sup]
