Worrying number of slashing cases recently.
Advertisements
Anyone genuinely worried by the recent cases? I don’t think I’ve ever felt like this in quite a long time, or ever, actually.
I know there’s no point in worrying about things outside of our control, but man there’s just too many cases in such a short span of time.
I really hope my fear is irrational. Don’t want to be on hyper-alert just for being outdoors.
What are your thoughts regarding this?

Netizens’ comments
- The latest one was of a man who attacked his wife..so if you are single you are much safer.
And the others earlier in the year I assume were due to some drug addicts taking a bad batch of drugs.
But yeah.. it’s not been much of a year or even longer..from that kid who used the axe in the toilet to the dad who killed his own twin teenagers to this. If it’s not news about people going crazy.. it’s news about people assaulting minors.
Lots of crazy stuff going on out there. I’m hoping that it’s just the residual of the 2 years of lockdown and that it gets better once things get back to normal.
Except for the train vape guy..dunno which kinda stupid he was smoking.
- You all, I don’t know who you are or where you are, but here is a virtual hug in light of these events, especially if you are really worried about them.
- Yeah, I’m worried. But I also wonder if cases were really on the rise, or if such incidents are now more conveniently mobile recorded and broadcast on social media. I do replay such potential scenarios in my head nowadays, eg if I see a slasher, how to defend myself, or escape fr Brooklyn-style subway attack. Hate to be so stunned that I act like deer in headlights and don’t react in time
- I literally can’t sleep. I keep thinking about the recent news stories. Funny movies don’t help, and I’m exhausted. But I just can’t sleep. The victims keep on appearing in my mind. Can someone please advise? I’m terrified. I know statistically, the chances of it happening to me or my loved ones is low… but I can’t. Stop. Thinking. About. It.
