Auckland stabbings

[Praktica]

In 70 odd years on this earth, I've never come across anyone holding a knife in anger. I suggest being less of a drama queen.

What does that comment mean? That you don't believe it happened?
You've been lucky then. I'm 75 and it was a common happening in our house with my violent father.
I once came home from school to find him chasing my brother down the street with a large knife.

My son had a girlfriend who went for him with a knife when she had had a few drinks. The police came and she spent a night in the cells.
But I haven't seen a stranger in the street with a knife. You can't deny that it happens though.

I wasn't denying it happens - just that it is not a common occurance, and certainly not something to obsess about. Family violence is a different thing.
