Will these Stabbings ever stop !!!!!!!, 13 year old lad in Oldbury today, It must be Heart Breaking for Parents of Children who loose their lives in this Heinous Way

[oldypigeonpopper]

Hello, As above, Just imagine any young Son or Daughter not coming home to family, Although I have not read it was his home or a friend but still it is another realy sad loss of a Young life, I just cannot Imagine how a Parent would feel, as happen my Older Sons last girl friend albeit mid 20s suffered the same fate some 25 years ago, He has never got over this tragedy and never will. RIP Young man

The prisons are full and don't seem to be a deterrent - bring back capital punishment, take a life with a knife then you lose yours as a result.  Seems fair to me.  Anyone?

Yep, and corporal punishment for carrying, 100 with the cat should do, for first offence.

I know, terrible!

Trouble is this terrible event will be forgotten about within a day or so because another very similar story will take priority over this one , I cannot see any thing changing anytime soon , this is here to stay , I looked at the video that someone put on here the other week where young men were chasing each other with machetes while the police were watching , what have gone wrong with this evil world we live in , no wonder suicides amongst the young are heading towards a all time high .   MM

Me to, this government is more concerned about online quotes and jailing people for thinking out loud .

I worked in a college then a school as a technician until 5 years ago. The gang culture thing has been around for ever, Mods, Rockers, Skinheads, Punks, Football firms all had their violent sides. At college we had an increasing number of lads from East london & the suburbs, many were black or asian. I got on well with all of those i worked with & treated them the same as any other young lad. What was noticeable was that as soon as you got more then two of them together they became a gang & as the numbers increased this became more reinforced. Our premises lads used to say If a punch up kicked off anywhere on campus it was more often one off those two ethnic groups starting it. But we were not allowed to say it!

Their music glorified it & the local kids picked up on it & joined in, Their online gaming glorifies maiming & killing in glorious technicolour with no real consequences.

Is it any wonder they get inured to the violence?  My last 5 years at the secondary school were largely good but the increase in gang culture across the board with all ethic groups was readily apparent, Rap & Drill music glorified "shanking" people & i heard ordinary white kids half joking about shanking their classmates on a regular basis.

We used to count craft knives & chisels out at the begining of a practical lesson & count them back in again at the end. Nobody left until they were all accounted for & at times i had to physically block the door to stop the little scrotes leaving. One day a kid did get sliced by a craft knife outside school, It turned out to have been nicked from another department so i was in the clear!

Add the drugs culture into the mix & i think it is now unstoppable. It is just the way it is. Glad im retired & out of it!

They weren't Police, but security guards from a local amusement arcade.
