Guest idol_wild Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Fucking hell. It must have been some rumble to progress into a neutral pub and then another thirty yards down the street.Sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie-Goatboy Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I saw it all cordoned off this morning I was wondering what happened. Pretty shit but to be fair it's getting more and more common in Aberdeen (and the UK), I had a couple of friends chased by someone with a knife on George street the other week. WTF is going on with someone that they feel they have to carry a knife about with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Its getting fucking ridiculous. My mate got into a scuffle over nothign on Saturday night, and after the guy had punched him, the guy said "Aye, I'll fucking slash ye's!" so we never did anything, just walked away, cos it was quite liekly he may of had a knife.Seriously makes me re-consider staying out at night.

Jeanette Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 It was half 11 was it not?! So maybe things ran over or something... Who knows. The whole knife culture is really starting to freak me out a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I was under the impression that Snafu was closed on Tuesdays after the comedy club. What was going on last night?yea, that's what i thought.i'm also wondering how long the scrap lasted and how long it took the police to get there seeing as the force headquarters is just round the corner. that's assuming someone let them know about it of course but i'd imagine snafu's doorstaff are connected to cctv and would have notified them as soon as possible.

These things tend to happen quite quickly and I don't imagine the police will have had a lot of spare manpower hanging around on a Tuesday night.

Scorge Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I walked past the scene at about ten to midnight and only saw the cordon so it must hae been under conrol by then. Didn't look all that close to Snafu at all, tbh...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Didn't look all that close to Snafu at all, tbh......I think the fight started outside Snafu and moved along to Blackfriars as it went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I tend to think the whole "Knife Culture Britain" is just the latest scare-tactic buzzword designed to sell tabloids, I don't think there are more people carrying knives now than there were 10 years ago, but because of this high profile blitz against it at the moment we're just hearing about every reported incident we wouldn't have before. That's not to say that it shouldn't be stamped out, of course it should, but it's not a "what's the world coming to" thing, it's been going on for years. When I was a kid a lot of people I knew carried knives.But yeah, this one is a little close to home. I don't like walking through the city at night anyway, there's too many junkies, mentals and general malicious little bastards going around for my liking, tooled up or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah, but you don't tend to get queues for events that are just away to end, do you? I'm just wondering if the BBC have their facts straight.That's true.I suppose more information will come out eventually.Perhaps the BBC just jumped on the nightclub bit.

I don't really think stabbings in Aberdeen are really any more prevalent now than they have been at any other time in the last 10 years or so.I remember about 5 years ago someone got stabbed outside John Lewis at around the time I left a night out to head home. Would have walked right past it but I decided to get some food and a taxi instead. Switched my phone off when I arrived and woke up to loads of text and phone messages from friends asking if I'd stabbed Anyway, point is there's always the odd dickhead walking around with a knife.

Jamie-Goatboy Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Anyway, point is there's always the odd dickhead walking around with a knife.Too true, you only have to look back to the Razor gangs in Glasgow in the 50's to know it's not a new thing. Personally I've never carried a knife nor had the compulsion to ever carry one, yet like others know people who have. I guess things will never change, it's fucked up but there are genuinely people out there who want to go out and have a fight and cause trouble, hence carry some form of weapon as 'protection'. With that kind of destructive attitude these incidents are disturbing and diplorable yet sadly unsurprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
