it's a shame, a lot of us could easily have fallen into that if we were bought up in inner city london. I will reserve me fullest sympathies for the more innocent though as at the end of the day, his own actions have helped contribute to his downfall. I obviously don't know him enough but he could very easily have been on the other end where he takes the life (if my assumptions are correct).
Pretty fair assessment based on what is known Bobby ... and I have to agree He was 'targeted' for a reason ... still very sad.
That part south and east of camberwell green is still just one big warren of old council blocks. The **** that goes on down there I wouldn’t like to imagine.
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares One less hungry mouth on the welfare First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
So basically, the Windrush brigade and others have turned that area into a Montego Bay over the last 6 decades?
It’s the usual 60’s and 70’s built maze of dark alleys, hidden corners, usual lights, lifts, etc that don’t work. There’s obviously a lot of gang related activity goes on down there as we’ve seen from the amount of recent stabbings an shootings in that area.
Most of the violence does appear to be black on black. But there’s all sorts live down there. Several Asian gangs too.
Thanks for the insight mate, it's all like alien to us up here in the North, been a hell of a lot of deaths down there, families ripped apart. Society is truly ****ed in the UK..
It feeds on itself. Kids are born there, as soon as they’re able to they want to play with other kids. Here they get hit upon by older kids who tell em how easy it is to make money, why bother with school - It’ll get you nowhere but a dead end job, etc. Next thing they’re runnng drugs for the big kids on their bikes. The little ****ers get so good on these bikes and know their patch so well that they can shank another kid and disappear in seconds through the estate. The pressure to join a gang is tremendous, and probably the only way to offer yourself some protection. On your own your fair game for anybody. One thing leads to another and.....
County Lines. The gangs send these kids out into the counties to sell more junk. They’re probably not given too many choices in the matter.
Something is seriously ****ed when a 14 year old lad is targeted by a rival gang presumably for selling gear in their manor ? I don't know I haven't read the story. But this is the reality for yoot growing up in deprived inner cities. You're either part of gang culture or you're subjected to it, so I can see why a lot of kids want to try and get the upper hand and be respected in a gang and make some P, rather than be at the bottom of the pile. It's seriously ****ed though.
I live in London so see this **** 1st hand and trust me there's a ****ing really really good chance if he's 14 running around on a ped then he's up to no good. Yeah it's a shame, but as I said before it's one less ****stain who could have and most definitely would have (if not already - hence the retaliation) hurt someone else. Meh
Beer time, making some home made chips, ****ty james bond film on...Been on heavy work today, but now have 3 days of, so **** it.
Just watched the big short. Very good pretty funny and you get Margot Robbie in a bathtub for like 3 minutes. Long enough for me
Great film that, I watched it again just before Christmas. Terrifying that it’s actual reality, and that virtually all of those responsible for the crash got away with it,
