The 'knife angel' removing weapons from British streets
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 06. 2021
- Last week we looked at the growing crisis on our streets, with 2021 on course to become one of the worst on record for teenage homicides. Years of interventions and official initiatives seem to be making little impact, with 18 young people having been stabbed to death in London so far this year.

We have been out with one community organisation, run by a man whose own experience of being stabbed has led him to try to rid the streets of knives.

The fact they’ve trained that dog to get mad at the sight of a knife is amazing no less but sad
They not trained him. My dog does the same, and same with a pistols and rifles. He goes creazy when he sees them. No one ever teached him that.

What's awful is no matter how many weapons you take off the street, you need to change the people, or else the problem never goes away.
that's racist

people will never change, you'll always have some kind of weapon; even if you make it illegal, people will still use them
Massive respect to everyone helping out
Huge respect lads! Well done. We work in Wandsworth and Battersea and we come across this everyday and it's not even hidden anymore.
Anyone who actively works to get these weapons off the streets and in so doing reduce knife crime and even save young lives deserves respect.
I grew up in the hood and trust me it's the younger people that start problems we need to focus on the new borns to make sure they don't get brain washed by the streets bc all kids do is try to fit in it starts from school the cool kids ask u if u wanna be friends with them and ur like oh heck yea say less anyways I once goed into the wrong hood forget that u can't just go into a hood when ur not from there thank Lord alot of school kids knew me bro everywhere I goed there was a group u can tell their in gangs wild shoes and gangs here don't just stab they mostly punish like taking ur finger nails off one by one and even killing u after these kids go way too far Bru I'm 15 BTW but I'm grown fck them this south Africa BTW sorry if I spelled something wrong I typed way too fast
@@absamuraiff2261 horrible that you at 15 have had no choice but to grow up before you should of had to. You speak a lot of sense, young people like you give me hope for the future

@@absamuraiff2261 I don't think your stupid at all. You're comment was very sensible as you know that if we are to have these issues stopped then we need to change how young people see things and that there is a better way to handle negative things without violence as it does not solve the problems only makes it worse
It's shocking to see this stuff going on in the UK 🇬🇧
Nothing but respect for these guys. Unsung heroes.
Serious question... Why aren't the police heros for doing the same? Just because people dislike stop & search? It's the only way they can take them off the streets but get nothing but stick for doing so?! Crazy...

The quote one of the guys said really stuck with me, he said: "To make these things safer, the Police need to make the kids feel safer".
Because teenagers see that others are carrying around knifes, machetes and even swords. They think they will need one of they're own for their safety.
nah, a pistol would be way better against a knife :P
@@jr-yn4lk not up close
That's right. Don't be like America where you can get a firearm easily.
Edit: I'm just giving my opinion you don't need to clown me or call me a moron
The problem with that theory is that there are countries where you can carry any blade, from a knife to sharpened sword without permit and for no reason, and knife crime rates are multiple times lower. Like tens of times multiple times lower.
@@SparrowNoblePoland it might work there but it doesn't work everywhere. The more armed people there is the deadlier the crime will be
That video has absolutely made my day.
I'm having a difficult time right now in my life and I really needed that pick-me-up.
That's exactly the sort of thing what makes me proud to be British.
Amazing work the amount of lives you have saved nothing but respect and admiration what a relief that someone is trying to save young lives
Yeah for sure, like you definitely cant go to a shop and buy another, no knifes exist in the UK at all now this one guy took some. What planet are you from? Must be nice to live in the clouds
Now this is news worth seeing. Absolute legends anyone and everyone involved.
I agree. I found this to be very humorous (and sad). I just decided that im against gun restrictions 100%. I dont want to stab somebody if they try to attack my family. I dont want females going toe to toe with a man who attempts to sexually assault them.
I just thanks this have subtitles otherwise i can't understand S% what it is all about
I am a peaceful person, I've never instigated or caused violence against anyone or been a criminal of any kind but after being mugged I see there is no choice but to have to have something to protect yourself given that the government have outlawed easy access to proven safer deterrents like pepper spray. I would carry a gun if the permit was available, unfortunately, i see no problems with why people would carry knives for their own protection when the country is falling to anarchy.
@@westcoast7703 So you want guns instead of knives? What logic is that?
England worst failed society ive seen
We need more of this guy ! I was attacked with a machete as an 18yr old and now I'm 44 and I still suffer from it. We need to get knives off the streets we need to protect the young ones who are caught up in all this crazy situations. Kids ain't kids anymore. Sad. Very sad.
I think sentencing needs to be sorted as well. Hurt someone with a knife you get 15 to 20 years. Kill someone and you are done. Minimum 30 years. Friend of mine was killed in Hull when we were 16, his killer is out now less than 20 years later. Living on the other side of town to me with a girlfriend and a 2 year old daughter. He should be caged up with the rest of the animals. 16 years for killing a boy who only lived that long himself. Itd almost be funny.
@@LoudaroundLincoln I completely agree with you. These people are literally getting away with murder. Killing someone or even attempting to should be much harder sentencing. Life should mean life.
welcome to reality in the UK
Since when knifes commit crimes? People commit crimes, if you wont fix people brains they find another tool to kill others. Everything can be weapon. Knifes aren't problem, people are.
@@wiktorwektor123 spot on
Keep up for good work at removing dangerous tools from the streets. Undoubtedly, you’ve saved countless lives already and continue to save more and prevent the deaths of many young people
im 22 got stabbed in the centre of the chest last year saving my friend these dudes are angels in human skin
Alot of these road men don't have a father figure and come from broken homes. The fact you guys are out there coming with the wisdom of people who have lived the life and seen where it leads is something that should be commended and rewarded.
Thanks for everything you're doing.
@@SPDRM not really, it’s kinda true, a mother can’t teach a boy how to become a man, and that’s just facts.
@@united1super544 yeah exactly.
I just mean they don't have strong paternal figures in their lives to show them what a man is. Don't get me wrong their are thousands of single mums out there doing bits! But the lack of a father to show man ropes is a distinct factor in the development of behaviours these man exhibit.
Thats all I am saying. Shout out to all the single mums and dads!

Blame for so much, the rest is these guys love the life they live they feel like warriors, the hole blm movement is absolutely bullshit there just passing the blame not taking any accountability for themselves, the stats show biggest threat to black life's are black people your killing yourselfs
In my opinion the police should be funding people like him, the police and black community dont have any communication at all, by getting someone totally independent of the police who wants to help the police remove dangerous knives off the streets, but at the same time is a member of the black community, this is the thing that will help remove knives off the streets of london.
Why? Because blacks don’t want to talk to whitey? It’s understandable, we’re not supposed to live under the same institutions. We need separation.
@@brainwilson7125 the above statement is wrong. There are plenty of communication channels between the black community and the police but not between criminals and the police. There are for example plenty of black police. It isn't an issue of race at all.
@@jawz2005 Brian Wilson knows he is shitposting.
@@jawz2005 as shown here there is some fear with being seen talking to police. Thats why this middle man has managed to speak to more people & get knives off the street.
The fascist scumbag above doesn't deserve a scent of oxygen don't give him the attention he craves.
@matthew evans …. This isn’t an attack, but your statement bothers me deeply, and it might need a little clarity. You might not have meant it this way, but the way it reads, the entire comment is focused on The Police, The Black Community, and Knives off the streets…… Saying that if they funded this Black man who has a connection to the Black community then maybe they can fix the problem. Do you really believe that ONLY Black youth are the ones killing each other with knives??
Thank you so much for what you are doing. Sending Love and Gratitude 💞
Massive respect to all you, just need more people being as positive to make a difference. 👏👏
With new arrivals of young fighting age men each day it will make no difference
This is the type of business that needs to blow let’s have a group of people like this in every city !
Yo we need a way to donate to this
Nothing but respect for these youth, doing more than any politicians do.
Yet how is that possible? The big question
Problem is, if any politicians try everyone cries about it. There's a cycle of stupidity.

@@WM-gf8zm really? As 100% down the middle person, it's a pretty clear point, although the term leftist media is a bit over used.
Lol. Politicians are only gonna do what the people say, if the say cops are racist and killing black boys what do you expect em to do? Increase policing in high crime areas? Or direct their attention to other areas that are more politicaly viable?
Good glad that something is being done by these guys well done 👍
Makes you realise how many fantastic causes are going on right now without the majority of the public knowing about it. Well done to everyone involved in trying to improve the devastating toll of knife crime.
Much respect to these people. Kids need to understand that a life of crime will only end 2 ways: Prison or dead. It doesn't matter how poor you are, there are always opportunities to turn your life around and be a productive member of society. Nobody wants a life where you're constantly looking over your shoulder. That's no way to live.
@@thepolter316 ??? cope.
@@thepolter316 Nah, don't put that bullshit in peoples heads. No matter the situation there are always two choices, settle for where you are or go achieve something greater. Doesn't matter who you are, there are always those two choices. Nothing worth doing was ever easy
@@thepolter316 and you think going around killing people with knives is an opportunity? There’s no logic behind it
@@chameleonedm man trust me I grew up in the hood and there really is no choice for some people. Thwy don't comply and their family gets killed. Many are forced into trafficking, smuggling, prostitution. Those who fight back get killed. I've seen it happen and thwy target young people mostly because they know those young kids are easy to push around
@@thepolter316 absolute tool.
There was a time in my adolescence that I was constantly verbally and physically attacked because of how I looked and some of these people I witnessed did have knives on them. I felt terrified to leave the house and remember on few occasions I took dusters, a small kitchen knife and glass shards with me just incase anything happened. I was stupid, luckily nothing ever did happen and I moved into a school shortly after. But it just shows how easy the fear of other dangerous weapons can make u hold a dangerous weapon. I wasn't in no gangs, wasn't a vicious person, but I was scared, and I couldve lost my life in many ways because of it.
I'm a fairly small dude and I was the same age 15 to 18 I would carry just out of fear hoping if anything happened me pulling the blade would make them run away luckily I was never in that situation because the reality is I probably would have had the blade taken off by the attacker or I would have panicked and done something silly.
Lol you Brits are such babies. I carry a glock on me here in the USA. almost no crime in my area because everyone carries. It's a crime free paradise
@@djdeemz7651 wow...what a weak boy you must have been. Can't even carry a knife?
Childish UK, glad I moved back to the states in 2002
I understand your point, but I carry a knife on me, even though in my country isn't that big a deal to do so. I carry it because you have to be minimally able to defend yourself, don't pull it out of fear, but when you need it. London is rough but England is pretty safe for the better part (I lived in Bristol for about 3 years) ...but would advise you to carry something, like a yawara stick or something

Every single household has knives in their kitchen drawers. My goodness you can take a spoon and fashion it into a sharp stabbing object. It’s the mindsets that need to change. It’s the parenting or lack of, it’s how young people cope with hours spent on social media, it’s money, power, drugs and who’s the biggest and baddest.
I do commend you men though. Every little helps.
100% they are helping the community, but you are right it’s the mindsets that need to change, until then, there’s always gonna be violence with weapons, just the sad part of human nature not everyone is good.
@@pillshere5218 the knives carry mentality of superiority. A kitchen knife can still be used. But i agree, the main mentality needs changing.
The world needs more empathy
@@daan9094 not really about empathy but about gangsta mentality. The bad is idolized.
@@daan9094 I couldn’t agree more. We’ve become so locked into our own lives and needs, it’s like everything and everyone else doesn’t matter. Our sense of community and healthy communication is broken.

I respect what they do, this isnt just a knife war its also a war of ego and narcisim. Thats the impossible psrt to fix.
It can be fixed if the government are serious. Implementing a system which aids young kids in developing their mental and financial states eliminates ego and narcism

I respect that he knows it's not a solution, but it's a contribution forward.
I've lived in London for two years and had no idea that the knife crime is that bad as seen in the collection crates. I've heard of stabbings and people tell me that the knife crime is big there, but I would have never imagined it's of that magnitude.
the average person wouldn't see much knife crime because most of the knife crime is 'gang on gang'.
Honestly its a massively overly exaggerated issue. Obviously still a problem but no where near as bad as these documentaries like to make out.
Yeah, you Europeans are too busy trying to tell Americans their country is bad and violent when you have plenty of evil and violence within your own countries
@@jamesjenkins6093 sure mate, it's exaggerated in your country but crime in the US isn't exaggerated...oh wait, you like to deflect from the country's issues and point out the issues of other countries to make yourself feel better, gotcha
@@tevarinvagabond1192 Didn't mention anything about other countries. But as you mention it the UK has a murder rate per capita 5x lower than the USA, the USA is undoubtedly a far more dangerous country.
I said this many times. If someone is going to commit a crime they will use anything around them. It’s not the weapon it’s the mind set of an individual. History has shown that and even prison has shown that.
Yeah but when you have a real weapon it is easier, people are more likely to choose an easy path. Also, weapons are designed to do damage and sometimes people that use them don’t realize how bad it can be, a young man could kill another and then say ‘I did not mean it, I wanted to scare him but things got out of hand’. I think they are not trying to prevent premeditated murders, more like random unfortunate events among boys that act like gangsters
@@luisriccardobernocco55 alias, vc é brasileiro?
You can use almost anything to kill someone, they will always do that, criminals don’t care about laws or punishment if they don’t get caught
It doesn't mean that anyone should be able to on 50 BMG killing machines, or conceal carry micro guns (which far more dangerous than the 50 BMG killing machines, even) though.
It _is_ the weapon that matters, _as well as_ the mindset of individuals.
I'm not for the banning of firearms, but I _do_ think it makes sense to ban anyone (aside from special exemptions such as police) from carrying any small/concealable firearms such as handguns on their person outside of a shooting range or their private property. This is roughly like what the law in Canada is, except Canada has some stupid extra rules that are illogical/net-detrimental, such as banning certain specific models of weapons for being "assault style", as well as banning suppressors. And on a related note, they also ban stuff like carrying around pepper spray or shock devices.
@@IdiotWithEducation no criminal is immune to ever being caught though. And committing certain crimes are far more difficult to do if the best materials to do-so with are unavailable.
Just because it's possible to craft IEDs doesn't mean we should legalize hand grenade and landmines.
Absolutely beautiful what these people are doing
Nuff respect to the guy who confiscated the knife from the kid. You can see how the elders can make a real difference like this.
Same hand gesture as the bahomet deity.
Fathers: step up and be there for the souls you are responsible for. Even if you’re part time in their lives, you can be the guide and role model MOST of these kids seek. How can you live with yourself if they hurt or get hurt?
A lot of these kids don't have fathers or their fathers are abusive or irresponsible and don't know how to raise children.
I agree the problem starts with the father's. A society without father's leads to Wreckless sons
@@benji6866 yep, and the sons that learn themselves have it a lot harder. However they end up being stronger mentally.
Hard when their mum can completely cut the father out the kids life if they're feeling like it and have beef with him.
Not all of their fathers are bad or irresponsible it's the mindset of the kids
Ik there are fathers who are amazing fathers but their kid gets wrapped up in this life still either they are forced or in poverty.
Cant blame their parents for everything they do
This guy is legend for what hes doing 👏👏👏👏 hats off too him 🙏
He's an absolute legend, good for him 👏
We had this in glasgow. I grew up in this late 90s early 2000s and you need to speak to these youngsters and give them more of a purpose. Give them places to go and get off the streets. They start to idolise the older guys involved with this madness. Things are not cured here but they are way better than when i was young. It can be sorted.
Best comment here ⭐️
Yh Glasgow was the capital of knife crime in Europe. Now it has one of the lowest rates of knife crime.

@@sacebi7831 exactly. crazy how brainwashed those people are. i myself got robbed by a dude with a gun and guess what. Guns are illegal here, and the only people who posess them are criminals. I couldnt have one to defend myself. Same applies to knives
@@sacebi7831 for sure 💯💯 you just have to believe!
@@gudgejm Just because you have a gun doesn't mean you can defend yourself anyway. There's a good chance you would've provoked the robber to shoot and kill you because you are threatening his life when all he was after is money. The ideas that more weapons is safer is stupid.
@@Ryan-ce1oc the idea that weapons are illegal so only criminals can have it and be sure nobody else does sounds way smarter, doesn’t it?
of course it doesn’t
you might be not aware of this, but getting a gun illegally is so easy these days anyone with 2 digit IQ can get it within a few days.
And Criminals are way less likely to approach you when you’re carrying a gun. Its just you percieving them as if their lives dobt matter for them. They want to stay alive as much as you do.
So if we’re playing „but if” game - consider how eager the criminal is to approach a person with and without a gun.
tl;dr
you dont understand humans and the logic behind your statement is broken
@@gudgejm The problem is you are applying a childs logic. 1) How does the criminal know you have a gun anyway, are you walking around everywhere with it in your hand? 2) The criminal might just want your phone and you pulling a gun out means he now has to kill you otherwise he might die. 3) If it were that easy to get guns then there would be a gun epidemic, not a knife epidemic.
Giving everybody weapons is the best way to escalate situations that are not life or death into situations that are life or death. That implies more deaths, not less deaths.
There is also zero evidence that more weapons act as a deterrent, and actually quite the contrary. Both gun crime in america shows this and knife crime in the UK shows this.
We need them here in Hackney clapton and so on, these kids are so precious and amazing they need some guidence before it's too late.

People can’t put two and two together, what was grime is now just crime. The lap it up like they’re just not hearing the lyrics at all

The government can barely communicate with young, reasonably wealthy middle class people let alone a disenfranchised youth with little to no prospects. I can't see an end to these problems without a massive change in society, culture and government
Don't keep voting for the same parties... And if you don't vote, that's even worse. And tell everyone you know to vote on a party that actually wants to change things for the better. That's how you make a "massive" change in society.

Thank you for making our streets safer man. You are indeed a legend 🙌
Sad thing is that most the people who give away their knifes are not the ones that plan to stab people but more to protect themselves. The real killers would never give them away. Still great job though the less knives the better.
Yeah sure the fellah who give the "Chinese Broadsword" of fthe boxes was to protect himself. BS! And if you think that you can "protect" yourself with a knife against another knife.... think again.
@@berzerker7174 Yeah of course you buy a bigger or more scary knife to make people afraid of you/ protect yourself.

That just shows you that banning knives is literally completely useless
exactly, i look at it like the gun problem here in America. it’s the people using them that are the problem, and getting rid of them all does nothing for maniacs that want them. they will always get their hands on them either way
So... we do nothing and people get stabbed and robbed. We need to try. Even if it takes one knife off a criminal it is worth it. Doing nothing leads to anarchy.
@@SWIFTO_SCYTHE how about you educate and support your people so they dont feel like they need a knife in the first place?
@@SWIFTO_SCYTHE But criminals aren’t really known to abide laws so they will carry one anyways, but now a law abiding citizen doesn’t have one to defend himself against a criminal with a knife.

Let me pick up a north side division of this, I currently support Big Ant the author of the “One Knife Many Lives” book in Sheffield and fund a private amnesty bin but doing this is even more proactive! I would love to get involved.
just please dont do it dressed up in paramailitary fascism gear. really not communicating the right message to the youths
@@_e8a oh I defo wouldn’t, wouldn’t have a camera either.
The way our bins work now is great because the items left in bins are not surrendered to the police which means people are more likely to use them knowing there won’t be an investigation or come back, we just want em off the streets, they are collected and made into sculptures and sold to fund the charity.
@Uncle Cid I disagree, the majority of our knife hauls are mostly carried for defence because of threats from elsewhere.
Family members find these knives and place them in our bins….they are giving them up we aren’t taking them.
I do however agree in part about upbringing but until that changes we can only do so much and being proactive taking some of the “zombie” knives of the streets and other such stupid things it helps.
I don’t put my life in the hands of the police either, none of what we do goes through the police at all we don’t report a single blade and everyone stays anonymous.
It defo helps but to what degree we won’t really see.
Are you in the UK?
Amnesty bin just makes it easy for criminals to ditch thier murder weapons
@@KrolKaz well no quite the opposite, most amnesty bins are police ones and are avoided due to fear of action being taken against people, but hey would you rather no one do anything?

The work these guys are doing is incredible. They've seen the cause of the problem, and by turning the weapons into something productive for the kids to use is genius.
It is said that his wings are made of knives and everytime he confiscates a weapon. He adds them to his wings to grow.
Thank For for these angels♥️♥️♥️
All I can say is thank you 🎉👏👏👏👏
These guys are legends and deserve more respect

Well done to you guys...😇
Sw london needs you...💝🌌😇
This is fantastic!!!! Keep up the amazing as I've had multiple knives put up to me a few times growing up in London...
What a man and what a brilliant difference he's making!!
Please don't stop and keep going because you're making London and places safer again. One less sharp object one less prison sentence and one less fatal or hospital trip. Thank you for what you're doing it really is amazing. :)
No difference at all. Like the “war on drugs “
@@thegreatestmantoevrwlkthep9986 It's a good and positive initiative that will save lives. Period.

Aight.

People around you ARE EVERYTHING! Family for a good support and understanding and friends for the same or to push you to the wrong path!
Well done, bruv.. massive contribution
This hard great respect for the people doing this and so glad these weapons will never be use to hurt anyone one but at the same time i hope there isn't any murder weapons which could never be use as evidence to get justice for victims familys
Much love and respect to all those who are handing the knives in 👊🏼
Beyond Respect, these young men are making sure kids are going back home safely to their parents!!
I doubt it. I admire their commitment and their intention but those who are most likely to actually use a knife are not going to just hand them in. Even you took away their knives if they were so determined to stab someone they will just go through the kitchen cupboards. Literally everyone has knives in their kitchens. The solution to this problem lies within the ppl themselves. It needs a culture change. Punishments must also get a lot heavier as a deterant. Its no good handing out Mickley mouse sentences. They need a real deterant. I'd bet anything that if they knew they would be hanged for it they wouldn't be so casual about it.
Crazy praying for UK from Spain
awsome work bro keep it rolling
sick to death of seeing this stuff! so happy these guys are actually doing something about it and highlighting it!
The music industry has a lot to say about glamourising knife crime as well. Drill artists & the outlets that promote them need to have a word with themselves and stop banging on about how they're going to stab someone. Anyone carrying a knife with intent should be locked up.
Q
Instead of locked up what about therapy or reformation? Locking them up would just introduce them to other people who have similar mindsets thus creating an echochamber.
@@hyunsookhan12 Because as long as these outlets continue to glamourise it then it'll keep happening, gaining notoriety for stabbing someone and spreading infamy amongst their peers on the block. Sentences should be much more severe for a stabbing, these people need to know that it will not be tolerated and will be met with the most severe punishments.
@@hyunsookhan12 just let them kill each other and we can watch like hunger games
Amazing work lads
What an absolute legend!
Streetwork like this is so important for the affected youth and the neighborhoods - my upmost respect.
Same hand gesture as the bahomet deity
Bruh.. People carry knifes because of knife crime and for safety... Its just a repeating circle.
for safety, then it get's used on yourself so :/
@@moiwino criminals aren't gonna give up their knives
I carry knives as tools. Opening packages and cutting food.
Much respect bro 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻.
