Is it not good to run at night AND morning?

Got a place you could swim anytime? It would be better for your knees to try some swimming, or something else. I'm sure it wouldn't be bad for your health to run that much, but that's an awful lot of stress on your knees....

Depends on what your body can take and how long each session is.

Running twice a day puts a tremendous amount of stress on your body. The peeps you see doing it spent many years building up their bodies to handle two-a-day running schedules. Even then, they will only do it for a limited amount of time.

Unless you have a specific purpose for wanting to stress your body through two-a-day sessions running (like training for a marathon), I'd say use your second session for some weight training.

If you just want another cardio workout, I'd suggest taking the stress off and either cycle or walk or swim.
