I think it's more of a sub-culture issue.

One that involves ninja squirrels with blood soaked blades?

Who topped himself last night to save us the expense of trying him...

Sorted.

It was the only decent thing to do. All murderers should have the same decency.

...and let's not forget the WHITE man who's just been charged with the murder of a female in the same area.....not to mention the WHITE guy who murdered his young son last week. Then there's the terrible knife-crime epedemic in Glasgow....all of the victims and perpetrators featured in an article were white.

Maybe they're 'celebrating their culture'.

We can all be selective when we have an agenda.

I'm trying to be colourblind here guys - let's not let this thread descend into another tit for tat race debacle.

And where does most of this rap gangsta sh1te arrive from into these kids homes?

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.

I'm with you and Cpt D on the media spotlight thing - and suspect that the media has a lot more to do with it than that.

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.

Sometimes it's worth just asking, you never know when you'll get a nice surprise.

I don't do nice surprises. I'm not here to sooth the sensitivities of the EMUs on this board.

I know I shouldn't bite, but any chance you can just **** off an troll somewhere else? This board is increasingly going to sh!t, and cretins like you play a massive part in it.

Thanks, snaw, that's the nicest thing anyone has said for a long time. Er, and the answer question is 'no'

Its a well known fact that bullets are racist and only injure non-white people.

[snaw]

They are just celebrating their culture rh. Nothing to worry about.
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.

Somehow I'd expect better from you SB. Guess I should have known better - this kind of crap has been going on in Glasgow for years, which you should fine well know.

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.
