Yes its unreal and i worry that there will be many more cases of knives and guns out there as the weather gets hotter and all the animals come out to 'play' and many more families will be losing their young sons.

Such a waste of young life ,its awful, the streets sometimes feel pretty lawless, horrible times .

[smudgie]

Just awful.
Poor lad, to die so young and violently.
If it was a racist attack then throw away the key when the scum get locked up.

Absolutely horrific & disturbing. Anyone that commits a nasty crime like this shouldn't see daylight again.

Poor kid only 14 years old :mad:
