In addition to offering condolences to the family for their tragic loss, members of the public have criticized the government for not doing more to penalize knife possession.

Deeply saddened Cody Fisher who had his whole life ahead of him was taken away from him. All night clubs & bars should have airport style security in a bid to tackle knife crime. This gives that added peace of mind for the customers who just want to have a good night. #RIP Cody pic.twitter.com/gf0fQdzmeT

RIP Cody. Thoughts are with his family. 💔 just heartbreaking.
Tougher punishments are needed for those who carry knives and even stronger punishments are needed for people who use them as murder weapons. https://t.co/eraLs1paOD

Individuals, particularly parents, expressed their outrage on Twitter. As they questioned “ How many more children need to be murdered ?” they addressed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and told him “Mothers and Fathers of this Kingdom are begging you and your government to stop this. We don’t have the power you do”.
RIP Cody. My son's friend. What will it take for this country to stop knife crime? HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN NEED TO BE BE MURDERED. RISHI SUNAK… MOTHERS AND FATHERS OF THIS KINGDOM ARE BEGGING YOU AND YOUR GOVERNMENT TO STOP THIS. YOU HAVE THE POWER WE DON'T.

Individuals also called out Home Secretary Suella Braverman and asked her the same question “ How many more young people are going to die before you ( Suella Braverman) take action and bring tough sentences for those in caught in possession of knives just like the UK did with guns ?”.
Rip Cody knives in public places need to be outlawed how many more young people are going to die before @SuellaBraverman takes action and brings in tough sentences for those caught in possession just like the uk did with guns

Security measures
Other people criticized the venue where the incident occurred, arguing that it could have prevented incidents like this with better security measures, such as metal detectors at the entrance. According to one Twitter user, “if only the venue used metal detectors to stop the knife from getting into the club.” Had they done that, Cody Fisher would still be alive today” .
Rip Cody so sad this shouldn’t be happening why are there not metal detectors at these venues? They don’t mind taking the money from people but wont put the money in to help keep them safe.

How has the venue not stopped the knife getting into the club ?? Metal scanners, and he'd be alive today. RIP Cody.

Some Twitter users were advocating for the venue’s license to be revoked so that security would be taken more seriously. Likewise, to persuade other venues to step up their security in an effort to prevent a repeat of the violent incident.
Take the venues licence away, only way they'll take this security seriously..
So sad.. Rip Cody— Oversight Recordings (@oversightrecord) December 27, 2022
Dozens of people were at the nightclub when the stabbing occurred, according to the police. Although no one has been arrested, the location is still closed as police gather information and examine security camera footage.
