Think this was anything other than just another bunch of gang bangers killing each other.
"Solomon, who did not want to give his surname, said he had been in the area since he was told the news last night.
"As far as I'm concerned, Jayden was a good child, a loving child.
"The system is really letting down the youths.""
Yup it's all the fault of 'the system' no need to take any personal responsibility for the situation you find yourself in.
admittedly poor little sod at 14 but it does smell gang related as usual.
I must admit I thought that when the story first broke but the more of the story that comes out and snowflake comments come out I've completely changed my opinion.
Reading the comments and listening to the general public talk about parents who have sons who are 14 and an innocent young life lost has actually started to grate on me now.
This lad might have 14 but your general middle class mother thinking about Tarquin at school with his iPhone and the like just doesn't have a clue. This 14 year old will be bordering on feral and will have done or be involved in things we can't even comprehend, let alone do every day. He'll be more street wise than many adults. I do think the age becomes a bit of a red herring in situations like this.
The real sad root of the problem for me is how did kids get in to this situation in the first place. Once there are in, this type of thing becomes a standard risk.

Bad grammar usually.
Peer pressure, you're in the gang or out and an enemy.
'The gangs made Jessie's life a living hell,' she said. 'He was cornered, pointed out and intimidated at every opportunity. He was coerced and compelled to join the gang. Time and time again Jessie humiliated the gangsters to their faces by saying no. This infuriated them and because they could not stand his rejection, they killed him. He was shot repeatedly and left to die alone like an animal.'
To be fair that's bad proof reading, not grammer. I did originally put 'Once there this type of thing becomes a standard risk.' but added some more words in and didn't swap it to 'they'. You were thinking of their, there, they're?
