Killings in London

[redfox 10]

Black culture subsumed into one amorphous mass. And I’ll bet you thought you were making a deep well thought out point.

 

 

 

I would be staggered if there was any "thought" given to the point at all, deep or otherwise.

Scotland reduced their murder rate by 47% in a decade. Perhaps we should look at what they did and follow suit?

With respect that is a totally different situation statistically to the one in London.

[realcockney 10]

Lamentably simplistic and naive. No change there then. Do yourself a favour and read the Independent article about how Scotland cut its murder rate by just under a half in a decade.

 

says you? get real! this is gun/gang culture driven by drugs money and social media, gang territory on the estates of Tottenham, hackney, Lambeth , Brixton etc, even some single estates are divided.

you know nothing about these areas, its black on black mostly controlling the drug territories the police know it but are helpless as everytime they do anything the racist cry goes up:loopy:

In 1920s Sheffield was in total control of gangs, they called it little Chicago.

 

Guess it was the music they were listening to. There is always an excuse or reason to justify ganging around the place.

maybe people should start taking responsibility for their (in)actions? Does anyone really believe that no one in those neighbourhoods know who is dealing drugs (as in other articles it was stated that this is a drug related gang problem)? Now if they know who is selling drugs they have two options - report them to the police and have them taken off the streets or ignore them and end up in this situation. You can blame whoever you want and as much as you want but at the end of the day if a crime is not reported to the police there is very little that they can do and again it goes down to a decision that an individual makes.

so youve got gangs who will go to the extreme of killing people and you want people who live in the same areas as the gangs to "grass" , what do you think the likely outcome will be?

Where did the poster blame Enoch Powell ?

 

Enoch was a realist, not racist. A man before his time.
