Ho-Hum. What’s New? Oh, nothin’ much. Another stabbing. Really? Yawn. Yeah. Mental defective. Again?

Of course it is. Not that they’re the only ones who run around stabbing people here. That’s understood.  Thing that bothers me I guess is that when authorities know of someone like that, why aren’t they monitored better? Or better yet, euthanized.
If they already knew this creep was violence prone, and they did, then why wasn’t the higher security mentioned in this article already in place?

Don’t ya love the terms used in cases like these?  The old standby.  “Learning Disabilities.” What’s that?  An excuse for easy time in a hosp. mental ward.

BMEWS readers will recall my post from a day or two ago wherein a young woman 7 months pregnant was stabbed on a busy street here, by a nutcase who should never have been on the streets. He probably had learning disabilities too.  I don’t much care. The woman and baby are dead. I care nothing for the killer nor do I feel anything even approaching compassion for these sub-humans.  Once they show any sort of sign of violent behaviour, if they can not be put away somewhere at family expense, then they should be put down.  Sure, the family will jump up and down and bellow about rights, but guess what? Society is safer by one.

If you think I’m overreacting, it’s only because this story keeps repeating itself over and over and over again!  New victims, same story.

Boy, 6, stabbed in the stomach by man as he played outside his house

A mentally ill knifeman randomly stabbed a six-year-old boy in the stomach as he played in the street with friends.

Joseph Hutton, 19, of Leeds, is today beginning an indefinite detention under the Mental Health Act after stabbing Jack Stott outside the boy’s home with a kitchen knife he pulled from his sock.

Neighbour Hutton, who had previously been treated for psychiatric illness, admitted the stabbing and told police he was angry after claiming Jack and a friend had called him names on November 9 last year, Leeds Crown Court heard.

Hutton told police he had found the knife in a field and said: ‘I just stabbed him with it, that’s it - on his belly, just once, not lots of times.

‘It wasn’t that bad - I didn’t kill him or nowt. I didn’t mean to do it, I won’t do it again.’

The court heard how Jack’s mother June Stott, 44, had told police: ‘Jack came into the house holding his stomach with both hands saying, “I’ve been stabbed with a knife.” He was very upset, crying and said he felt sick.’

The housewife said: ‘He came in bleeding and screaming and crying. I couldn’t believe what had happened.’

By sheer chance the knife wound had left Jack’s internal organs undamaged and just needed stitches at St James’s Hospital, Leeds.

The mental scars would take far longer to fade for Jack, now seven, who has ‘constant nightmares’, Mrs Stott said.

After one dream he ran to the door and was wrenching on the handle to get out.

‘He was screaming, “He’s coming to get me, he’s coming to get me.” We had to lock the door to keep him in. I watch him 24/7 and I daren’t let him off the street.’

The mother-of-two said her unemployed husband Thomas, 45, was also profoundly affected by the attack.

Hutton, who suffers from a learning disability, was deemed unfit to plead to charges of wounding and possessing an offensive weapon but a jury ruled that he did wound Jack with the knife.

A report to the court from consultant psychiatrist May Badee said Hutton posed a serious risk to the public.

He had been involved in a number of previous incidents of unprovoked random violence using weapons and no amount of therapy or medication would improve his condition, she said.

‘He has a serious mental disorder and moderate learning disability. He doesn’t learn from his experiences. It is a chronic condition.

(A chronic condition? Fine. Then gas the bastard and put him out of the public’s misery.  )

‘He has a long history of compulsive and aggressive behaviour. He presents a high risk of serious harm to the general public.

‘He will need a higher level of security than he has had in the past.’

The court heard that Hutton repeatedly absconded from hospital, his parents and grandparents, and found this amusing rather than inappropriate.

Recorder Graham Hyland QC made a hospital order and ruled yesterday that Hutton should be detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act.

He said: ‘I’m satisfied this defendant presents a high risk of serious harm to the general public.’

Mrs Stott said after the case: ‘I’m relieved he’s off the streets. Now he’s locked up he can’t do it to anybody else.

‘I do feel safer now he had been put away, but it is worrying to think that people with serious mental disorders are free to roam our streets... The authorities knew about this man and still he managed to stab my son.

‘Luckily Jack was not hurt so much physically, but it could have been much worse. I get shudders down my spine when I think about what could have happened.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
