It will easily get through the intercostal (sp?) space between the ribs.

The tip of a knife has a staggering amount of energy concentrated on that tiny-tiny point.

OK, too bad he died of being dumb. However...

That line above from the coroner is some deadpan comedy gold.

It is sad for dying so young but people like this remind me why we should not let 16 y/o vote.

Ummm, this went to court?


Coroner's court.

All deaths other than natural go through this process. Here and in Canada all our troops, killed in action in Iraq or Afghanistan, were taken from the POE, in UK RAF Brize norton, and in Canada CFB Trenton, to the county coronors' office where the yUK equivalent of a ME would carry out a PM, report to the coroner, who would then hold a hearing to ascertain how the person came by their death - in this case, as a result of enemy action. This is because there was no declared war between combatants, as is the usual state of affairs between warring nations. The usual finding is that the person was unlawfully killed. No matter what Mr Tony B. Liar said.

I've been watching the Simple History channel on YouTube and ran across this one...the first example in the video sorta reminded me of the late "stabby guy"...
