  1. I hope all those in possession of knifes were arrested and charged , or were these dangerous knives just confiscated and just a slap on the wrist .
    May be if you charged all in possession with the knives they and others will think twice about carrying them . 11 young people had knifes on them Thursday night , no one arrested for it .
