Predictive Text Error Leads to Fatal Stabbing

[Sansha]

What a load of shit. This is obviously a pre-existing argument that's just escalated, and I'm 100% positive the 'predictive text error' had less than nothing to do with it. Here's why this is 'news':

'Fatal stabbing' is every day shit. Who's going to read that?

' leads to fatal stabbing' - holy sweet living fuck, call the super-police, cellphones and technology am deadly!

But. At least we learned that when you fend off an attacker who attempts to flee, clearly the best course of action is to stab him 100 more times. Good call on the manslaughter. Nobody would ever expect somebody to die from that.

Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar
ich zieh sie auf ein weisses Haar
werf in die Luft die nasse Kette
und wünsch mir dass ich eine Nutter hätte

So we're scapegoating the Predictive Text are we? That's pretty obscure. I'm hardly convinced, i guess maybe nutter is slightly more offensive than mutter(though both are mild)but maybe the text war and fight would have started anyway regardless of the word used.

Since he chased him down and stabbed him over a 100 times I don't think this is a little misunderstanding.

Need more information about what happened, firstly just because you would never consider bringing a knife to someone's house just because they called you a nutter followed by a few other insults doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Plus it could easily be manslaughter instead of murder too, I'm from the UK and in this one rough area I lived once, when I moved into it the previous occupants left a machete and shotgun shells there and after seeing what it was like after a few days, throwing the machete away seemed like a pretty dumb idea, so keeping a knife around in key places doesn't constitute planning to murder to me.

Secondly it was 104 injuries, not only stabbings, for all the information we have it could have just have easily gone like this; guy opens door and gets attacked by psycho neighbour so he stabs him in the leg in self defence, even after doing that he keeps getting attacked so he fights him untill his attacker retreats to the bathroom. He tries to get his attacker to get out of his house but is attacked again and has to kill him or be killed. I mean.. that's unlikely, I think he likely just got into a rage after being attacked and ended up killing him for that reason, (I wouldn't call that murder either though, nor even manslaughter) just don't dismiss him possibly doing it only in self defence.

And he got a manslaughter conviction for that?

I suppose if I shot up a school, I'd probably be convicted of littering?

Brook claimed that Witkowski attacked him with a knife when he arrived, so he grabbed the knife taped to the door and stabbed him in the leg. That probably would have added up to an easy claim of self defense had it ended there, but when Witkowski fled to the bathroom, Brook followed him and kept up the attack, eventually killing him with a blow to his heart. The court was told that Witkowski suffered 104 injuries, including stab wounds, cuts, bruises and slice marks on his hands.

Wait either this story is being told very wrongly or the attempted murdered ran into the house of the guy who just stabbed him

I think I'm gonna place my bet on this story being made up - and the source is the Bolton news....reliable (/sarcasm)

yes your shell casings are a public hazard and an eyesore.

 

[Kukakkau]

Of course, think of all those messy shell casings you would be leaving around

EDIT: epic ninja'd

 

[Weaver]

Looks like he was a nutter after all.

 

[V TheSystem V]

104 injuries is NOT manslaughter. That's a fucking attack!

 

[OniaPL]

Am I a bad person for thinking that this is funny?

 

[Optimystic]

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

I lol'ed far harder than I should have given the gravity of this story.

Tonight on Fox News: how spell-correction causes violence and murder!

Also: could your children be using spell-correction in their iphone video games while facebooking with unwed teenage mothers?

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Well, guess we found out he was a nutter.

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.

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]

...seriously? I keep re-reading your post in the hopes that I'm missing some extremely subtle hint that you know the score, but in the end I've concluded that I have to take what you've written at face value. Which begs the obvious question: Are you really unaware that thiosk was being satirical?

The South Park "underpants gnomes three step plan" meme reference alone should have made it glaringly obvious that it was not serious, but really, who the hell would ever honestly dress up an earnest appeal to ban knives in the type of rhetoric one usually finds in anti-gun sentiment? It's the sort of thing that's so ridiculous that anyone reading it should automatically step back and realize the author isn't serious - I'm really finding your apparent blind spot for satire hard to reconcile with your apparent knack for dry pun-based humor.

In conclusion, you should have known that was not a real expression of solidarity in the "fight against knives", and if you did know that then you have abjectly failed at expressing it - there is simply no indication in your response that you were in any way joking.

This is just in the UK O_O

It seems fairly simple to me. Dude A shows up, rings the bell, dude B opens the door, dude A charges at dude B, they get tangled up, dude B ends up between dude A and the door so dude B, recognizing that things aren't going quite as smoothly as planned, hauls ass in the only direction he can.

As the French battle cry goes, "AVEC MOI, MON AMIS! AUX LE SHITTOIR!"

This is a terrible reason to kill someone. Can't believe he actually was so offended he felt it was necessary to be violent about it. Pffft.
