When a knife is introduced into a fight, no matter how low the level of violence was beforehand, it is now escalated to a lethal situation; a matter of life and death for both parties involved.
The effects of knife wounds vary dramatically – In this video we find out why.
See the article below for information on self defense against knives:
A man holding a knife is taken to the ground and disarmed by another man. A bystander helps by kicking the man to the head while he is on the ground.
Once the knife is taken from him, the other man starts stabbing the one who was previously armed. Seeing this, the bystander panics and runs away.
This apparently happened in Scotland in 2021. No further information.
“I felt that the culture we boasted so much about is only a very thin lacquer, which chips off the very moment we come in contact with cruel things like war.”
Stephan Kurt Westmann (23 July 1893 – 7 October 1964) was a German soldier and physician.
In the First World War, Westmann served in the German 29th Infantry Division on the Western and Eastern fronts and then as an Air Force surgeon, although unqualified. Completing his medical studies, he became a professor at the University of Berlin, and in the 1930s migrated to England and became a doctor in Harley Street, Westminster. During the Second World War, he was a British medical officer in Scotland, so that in the two World Wars he served on different sides.
In later life, Westmann appeared on BBC television to talk about the First World War from the German point of view and also wrote his memoirs.

A rare video: Two men duelling with machetes. Technically, one is using a “zombie knife”, a name which is really nothing more than a marketing gimmick. It isn’t much shorter than the opponent’s machete and appears to have a thicker spine.
This video is important because it demonstrates two things:

Two men have been jailed over a broad daylight street fight which saw one of them slashed in the neck.
A machete and zombie knife were used in the “terrifying” brawl which broke out on a quiet estate in Morecambe. Horrified onlookers watched in shock as John Reid and David Jowett fought with the deadly weapons last May.
Footage of the incident was recorded by one witness and was played at Preston Crown Court today as the pair were sentenced for wounding each other and making threats with the weapons. The court heard that Jowett arrived at Reid’s home on Bartholomew Road after an earlier incident at the Station pub. Details of that earlier incident could not be agreed by either party and as such, the cause of the violent and bloody brawl remains unknown to the courts.
