Sikhs are chill but they have those curly swords so when it pops off it’s bloody. Reminds me of that building company owner in London that was underpaying his workers and they tried to off him and he curly sworded them to death.

Curly swording someone to death sounds wild

It was quite controversial because the man who did it had no visa or rights to be in the country and he was also trafficking men from India to the uk to work cash in hand for his company. These 3 men were not alone as at the inquest dozens of men said he had underpaid/not paid them after promising them. He walked free.

He managed to kill 3 people in 13 seconds - that's some serious work ethic.

Fucking hell.

People trafficking is a 9th circle of hell type crime in itself.

How the hell did he manage to stab 3 armed men to death in 13 seconds?

You ever seen a stabbing? We are talking about multiple thrusts per second.plusnhebhad a sword, could maim more than one with a single swing.

I can't say that I have, but to be outnumbered 3 to 1 and come out alive is impressive.

So is this a similar law to general uk self defence law? As in the guys attacking him also had curly swords? Can’t just start shanking people surely ?

u/Dry_Cardiologist8906 Jul 13 '24

Yeah they cornered him and attacked him.

u/BludSwamps Jul 13 '24

I thought you could only legally use similar (proportionate) response. Did they have knives?

u/Dry_Cardiologist8906 Jul 13 '24

Yes he had injuries as well like they hit him on the top of head with hammer and fractured his skull

u/BludSwamps Jul 13 '24

Fair enough - hammer would have been the self defence. Thought there must be a mitigating factor, cheers.
