You’re proposing a rule that all online retailers have to add verification technology and all users have to go through it. It’s this kind of thinking that leads to airport security. It’s never proven effective but no one ever says no and no one ever agrees to reduce it out of fear.

Need to get him an account here.

Same answer as “why don’t we lock up all the nonces convicted of viewing child porn”: there’s fucking loads of them and we have no prison space.

And are massively overworked and if it’s just someone a bit pissed up at a football match (I don’t know) isn’t their remit.

I honestly don’t know. I just know expensive and insecure tech isn’t the answer. Any of these systems can be gamed. Are we pretending we never got a beer before 18? Access to knives isn’t close to the issue. If all this stuff worked we’d have seen a massive fall in knife crime since they were...

But we do enforce the rules. This is about additional technical solutions that are generally unproven, require you to upload personal data to whoever you buy from, and privilege places like Amazon over smaller shops that can’t eat the infrastructure cost.

Amazing. You are the exact reason we don’t call it global warming any more we call it climate change. A rise in average global temperatures doesn’t mean everywhere gets warmer. But I’m glad you’ve proven my point that you’re willing to throw out hundreds of thousands of papers and decades of...

Also are we saying he would have not done this six months later when he was 18 and would pass any checks?

I just don’t think it’s effective. If you want to ban knives then go ahead but this stinks of the usually political response to pretend there’s a tech solution that ends up favouring large retailers and shitty government contractors more than anything.

I dunno just going off people in this thread saying he gets kicked out all the time and looks to start fights. Never met the guy or seen him or heard of him outside of here and Twitter and Facebook.

Haha just heading to a mates after a night at the Colly where I’d spent all my cash so he didn’t get much.

Its more every increasing annoyances for the 99.99% in the hope of stopping some of the 0.01%. If delivery drivers aren’t checking then work on that. No need for fancy 2FA systems forced onto retailers.

Maybe they need to stop selling him away tickets.

Back in the 90s when this stuff was common in town. I laughed at the potato peeler guy. Screwdriver guy was in hill fields around 2am so probably my fault. Just a mugging.

Crappy attitude and one that leads to SS being overwhelmed tbh. What’s wrong with the club checking in on someone during games if they keep getting kicked out?

He’s plead guilty there isn’t a trial

it’s a kitchen knife. I’ve been threatened in town with a screwdriver and a potato peeler at various points. Do we restrict them too? Bricks? As others have said delivery drivers already check on delivery I’m not sure what help this is other than another government enforced Capita contract for...

What a prick giving it the “I feel ill”. Need to stop listening to that shite tbh. Gag him and carry on. It’s clearly fucking about.

Seriously? You aren’t going to stop this by making it hard to buy knives online. Knives are readily available in every kitchen. This isn’t guns we’re talking about. It’s just easier to blame Amazon and call it a day than actually tackle the problem of intervention in violent teenagers lives.

Isn’t it a bit late to claim insanity if you’ve already plead guilty?
