Brits Send Their Kids to School in Body Armour

A quote from The Daily Mail, 14 August 2007

Parents are sending children to school in stab-proof uniforms to guard against knife crime, it has emerged. They are paying a firm which makes body armour to line blazers and jumpers with a stab-resistant material called Kevlar. The precautions are aimed at protecting pupils from knife attacks as street crime spills over into schools. […]

Kevlar is a synthetic fibre that can be spun into fabric five times stronger than steel and is used in armoured vests worn by British troops in Iraq. Essex-based firm BladeRunner produces clothing lined with the material for police and security guards. But inquiries from parents have now prompted it to modify school uniforms. […]

New laws which recently came into effect will allow staff to conduct forcible searches of students suspected of carrying offensive weapons. But members of the Professional Association of Teachers are saying they should not be made to carry out searches unless they are provided with body armour.

Body armor will not prevent a determined attacker

Though chavs are not paragons of law-abiding citizenship or responsibility, this influx of knives and firearms into schools is derived almost entirely from non-White minority groups including both immigrants and their children. Unfortunately, measures such as protective vests, metal detectors and even a strong and armed police presence cannot completely prevent stabbings and shootings. The greatest defense against crime and violent crime is culture. Until fairly recently, Scandinavian and other Northwestern European countries had incredibly low rates of crime, however, this was not a result of either the maintenance of a police state (e.g. DDR), public firearm possession (e.g. USA) or fierce deterrence (e.g. Saudi Arabia).

 

Now that these other cultures are in our midst, we will have to live in repressive police states if we are to live alongside them in relative peace...

Body Armor for kids

I know this material, it is impossible to wear this in the hot summer and it is always stiff and uncomfortable.

It would be a permanent reminder that multiculture is a pain in the ass. As such it would have a multi-function.

Further it would provoke stabbing in the face when the bastards feel the resistance on the body.
