Maybe they're 'celebrating their culture'.
We can all be selective when we have an agenda.
I think it's more of a sub-culture issue.

Originally posted by snawThere's a media spotlight on it, so every case is highlighted which wouldn't necesarily happen in years gone by, but clearly there is a growing knife culture which needs to be stamped out.
If this gang/gun/knife culture is predominantly nurtured by young black males (I've worked with the Police and community safety agencies before - and 80% of this kind of crime was committed by 14-19 yr old black males - in a predominantly white area - statistics the local authority wouldn't release), the question has to be why. Why this particular demographic?

Youth from all backgrounds are being increasingly swept up in this due to peer pressure. I think most of these lads carry weapons as a fashion statement, and use them to be seen as 'serious' about their lifestyle choice - proving their credentials to their peers.

Of course it is all our fault because underpinning this wave of mindless violence is post-traumatic-slave-ancestry disorder. Best we just give them a ton of compensation money to resolve it.
There's a media spotlight on it, so every case is highlighted which wouldn't necesarily happen in years gone by, but clearly there is a growing knife culture which needs to be stamped out. But let's not lose perspective and FFS give up on the white man whinge, you're as bad as the lefties you claim to be slating.

Relax, this tulip goes on all the time, all over the country, it's just fashionable to provide more coverage of a particular area simply because the media love to sensationalise things and this is their current fixation.
You really think the scum in Nottingham and Manchester have stopped shooting and stabbing each other? Not so long ago they were the headline news, it's just London's turn at the moment.
What's really sad is these are kids that have been let down by their parents. Typically our government will do the easier thing and concentrate on the symptoms rather than the causes.
