In the West, we’ve spun a web of so-called “red-flag” laws designed to either prevent people from buying weapons or keeping them.
There are arguments for and against these plans; proponents say it’s a way to take weapons from dangerous people without infringing on the rights of the rest. Opponents say it’s nothing more than a ploy to allowoverzealous government officials to grab at firearmsand other weapons.
That’s a debate to have elsewhere and otherwise, however. What does it say that, when a man who gives every warning he shouldn’t be around weapons is allowed to go free and carry them in a country that cracks down onvirtually every kind of weapon?
According to multiple reports, the man who killed university student Henry Nowak in the United Kingdom was known to police for having a penchant for knives and crime.
Despite this, he got literally a slap on the wrist — detention by officers — after a theft of swords in 2023.
According to the U.K.Telegraph, Vickrum Digwa pilfered £1,000 ($1,310 at the time) in ceremonial blades from his Sikh temple in Southampton, the town where he ended up murdering Nowak.
The footage of the attack’s aftermath has spurred outrage across Britain at DEI policies, as well it should; the Telegraph noted that the jurisdiction where the murder happened just happened to have its constabulary undergo racial sensitivity training, with the Hampshire Constabulary saying in 2022 that “being anti-racist, ethical and inclusive is top of our agenda.”
This is especially relevant when you consider that Nowak, who was white, was handcuffed by police, who didn’t believe his claim that he had been stabbed, whereas they believed Digwa’s claim that he had been thetarget of a racial attack.
Years earlier, when police had been given ample reason to get Digwa off the streets, though, they didn’t: The Telegraph noted that Digwa “was detained by officers at the time, but was never charged.”
It wasn’t like there wasn’t other evidence thathe was a threat, either.
