In February and March there were more murders in London than in New York.
Law is too soft so will only get worse, Sheffield/Rotherham have had shootings/stabbing recently
Yes, wedding receptions aren't like they used to be.
The fact that police resources are cut to the bone has to be factored in .
A guy on our other message board was assaulted badly on friday night in town and his phone and wallet taken , they even nicked the pizza he was carrying home to eat , police told him to ring a number and report it .
I notice Sheffield too is having a wave of these kind of crimes .
These kids today carrying knifes is very worrying , in 10 years time it will move on to guns if it hasn't already in many cases .
The drug trade is often at the heart of it , these kids look at the money older kids are making and it gives them and easy way out when they know life working honesty will be tough , it's flawed of course but that's how they see it .
Very difficult to see things improving and it's highly likely to get much worse on our streets .
My prediction is army will end up on streets.
Kids in gangs from ethnic backgrounds in poor areas of our major towns and city's killing each other .
Will anyone actually care in the decades to come ?
I say this from looking across the pond at America where it just seems on impression's to be just the way it is .
