We have the same problem here in the UK, kids carry knives, or some do, for protection.

There is a perceived threat which becomes a real threat when people carry a knife as others then also start doing the same.

I wouldnt say carrying a knife is a real threat myself. It only becomes a threat if you use it as such. simply carrying it, not so much.

But some people then see the knife and they use theirs first, or feel so scared they just use it anyway.

@zleap

then the issue isnt that they carry knives, its that they are quick to use knives or brandish them, different problem.

Even in america if you carry a weapon you must hide it, you cant walk around with it showing or pointing it at people without good cause.

There are videos of kids here waving a large knfe around and sticking their middle finger up at the police ,and just try and torment them.

They know no one can touch them, they cry assault if you breath on them in some cases.

There was a time when a police officer carried respect, gave you a clip round the ear and took you home to face the wrath of parents when they found out what you had been doing.

Something has gone wrong with how we deal with people.
