Friday, July 11, 2008  What Knife Crime Epidemic?  Breaking
news. The Guardian reports:  Four men have been stabbed to death
across London in 24 hours, one of them a 19-year-old who became
the 20th teenager to die in a violent attack in the capital this
year. All the latest casualties died within a two-mile radius of
each other in unrelated incidents. In a disturbing spate of
violence, the 19-year-old died yesterday after being knifed in a
confrontation in a bedsit in Edmonton, north-east London, at
about 2.30pm. Three hours later in nearby Leyton, a 20-year-old
Asian man died from a stab wound to his chest after a
confrontation with a gang following a car crash. At about
8.30pm, a 22-year-old man was found with stab wounds to his head
and chest in a street in Walthamstow, less than two miles away.
He died an hour later. Earlier, at 4am yesterday, the body of a
man in his 40s was found with knife wounds behind a disused pub
on Tottenham High Road.  What knife crime epidemic? asks uber-
