I felt comfortable to read some messages (January 28On the issues that were not headlines in the media, but may have affected Axel Rodakobana. I also notice that it received a diagnosis of autism.
My son has autism. It fits “alone, young men, young men in their bedroom” that Kiir Starmer put in their bedroom. And he received treatment.
Axel Rodakobana was a child asking for help. Like his parents, I heard this phrase from mental health services as well: “He does not participate, so we need to empty it from our service.” Not engaging is part of the problem. Why did we not hear about this young father because they struggled to contain his troubled thinking? They are also victims of this tragedy.
When I hear Keir Starmer pledges to treat “Misfits” and “Loners” isolated in their bedrooms, I wonder what this means. I hope to fund more services for people with autism in crises. Thank you very much for posting a broader picture.

But reducing the availability of local objects with severe connection is also a possible goal. The aggressive use of the knife without a more difficult pointed blade, and easier to defense. How many times is there such tools required in the kitchen – or anywhere else at home or garden?
Restricting these possible weapons for licensed individuals (butchers, for example) would gradually reduce their availability. Acute, but frank but explicit knives, you will need to produce them to replace them. The process can be accelerated by the state -funded exchange plans.
