BBC Southport killer admitted carrying a knife more than 10 times 7 hours ago

　結論的には日本水準の「刀狩」を貫徹し、暴力の水準を個々人の肉体（＋α）程度にまで下げるのがよいということに…。

　…日本ですらナイフをやまほど用意することは可能ですが、まあ、しかし。よそさんの気楽さとはだいぶ違うと思う…。

　最初期報道

BBC Southport stabbings - what we know about attack 31 July 2024

Jeremy Culley & Hafsa Khalil

「Three young girls have been killed in a "ferocious" knife attack in Southport at a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga event.

They have been named as six-year-old Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar.

Eight more children were injured, with five left in a critical condition, after the incident late on Monday morning. Two adults also suffered critical injuries, Merseyside Police said.」

　死者はこの3名で済んだのか。critical conditionが5名あったというのだが、不幸中の幸いというのはこれか。

「Two adults were critically injured "bravely" trying to protect the children from the attack, police said.」

　大人2名が負傷しながら犯人を止めようとした、と。見事な覚悟だ。

「Officers were pelted with bricks and a police van was set on fire, Merseyside Police said.

The force said eight of its officers sustained serious injuries.

In total, 27 officers were taken to hospital, and 12 were treated and discharged at the scene, the ambulance service said.

Police said the violence was believed to have involved English Defence League supporters.」

　さっそく警察とデモ隊が衝突。イングランド防衛同盟English Defence Leagueというのは、まあ右派・保守反動団体といってよいか。反移民・反イスラムといったあたり。
