In spite of all our differences, the one thing that binds all living creatures is that we each have an expiration date. This finality to our existence is what makes life special, something to be cherished and protected. But occasionally things can go terribly wrong…
A 15-year-old British boy survived a violent assault at a bus stop last year. Now British police have released an X-ray of the victim’s skull with the knife still embedded. Police hope the photo will publicize the story and help them catch the two suspects who are still at large.
The victim was stabbed in the forehead last November when he and two friends tried to stop a robbery at a bus stop in south London. The boy’s friends were also stabbed. The victim was rushed to the hospital with the kitchen knife still stuck in his head. Doctors said the teen would have died if anyone had tried to remove the knife.
Police arrested one of the three suspects because he dropped a hat and cell phone while fleeing. He will be sentenced next month.

Wow. At least he didn’t get shot. Everyone knows how much better it is to get stabbed through the skull than shot. Good going, British Parliment. That’s the way to keep your public safe from harm!
