I was mainly talking about SR and you agreeing with him rather than points that you had made elsewhere tbf

Was a general point, not aimed specifically at anyone in particular, just more of a commentary on what I read.

Kids with hoodies and masks, walking around the streets pretending to be gangsters can be seen in most big cities across the UK. I was smoking weed, underage drinking too, but because I grew up in a village that was deemed as one of the top 10 places to live in Europe by forbes magazine at one point, then none of this was an issue, and my parents didn't need to be controlling me. I remember seeing my brother crawling across the floor off his face on mushrooms when he was 13, and I was 7 (I didn't know what he was doing at the time!), that he picked from our own fields.

It's because you come from a refugee background that I expect you to know more and be better, and not to use it as a free pass to denigrate others.

These issues in life are rarely black and white, and laying them out as so does nothing to further understanding, discussion, or debate.

The problem is Lt, is that no one has any idea what your actual opinions are because you're more interested in trolling than participating in any discussion.

The issue here, is that a kid was tragically killed on the streets of our island and the first things people have to say is that he could be a drug mule, or he dresses "aggressively", which honestly, is one of the biggest snowflake opinions on here I've ever read.

The board is littered with code words and inherent racism. I get it that it annoys you when I call it out; if I was you, I'd be annoyed by that too.

Not Slim actually being middle class :D

Very middle class! :smug:

Poor kid....horrific end to a life that had barely begun. This country is a scary place, I genuinely fear for the day my son is old enough to be out of my sight for any length of time. I grew up in Salford and Manchester - scary then and 100x more scary now but i don't want to wrap my son in cotton wool. There is such a fine line between protecting, over protecting and allowing independence.

he has a full face mask of a skeleton and is pretending to shoot a gun

:facepalm:


i mean, really

Those scary black boys with their guns made from fingers.

That means and proves nothing though :shrug:

i never said it did but it will come across as aggressive and with moped crime a big issue it is intimidating as I am sure you will agree?

Tbf the police have said it was a targeted killing related to drug gangs and he had described himself as a 'trapper kid' on facebook.. obviously he's just a kid and the tragedy is that he ended up in that lifestyle but it's the reality in some parts of the country, not really much point denying it

The narrative of this story would have been completely different if the boy was white. It's gross that the victim is being demonised for being murdered. It just goes to show how deep racism still runs in this country.

I hope they catch the killers soon and I hope the media turns their attention on that instead of highlight why the victim had it coming since that can only damage efforts to actually solve the crime.

Sure
But White Kids also do the Gun pose
just this time a black 14 year old was Hunted Down
and killed - for a unknown reason.

Yes he was a Target
sadly

In what way?

Driving an illegal scooter in London with a mask covering your face is asking for trouble drugs or no drugs white or black

Stabbing victim Jayden Moodie poses with bundles of cash and confessed to being a 'trapper boy' - slang for a drug runner - and may have been a victim of a feud between gangs.

Think I'll withdraw £200 tonight, so I too can have "bundles" of cash.

i bet you could not when you were 14?

Well as we know there's quite a few young teens involved in trouble & gangs so it's not far fetched to assume he was involved in that sort of life.

But on the other hand it could of been other reasons . Either way it's a horrible crime to of happened at just 14 years old ! .

Any suspects in this case yet?

I suspect it's black on black crime and generally black people don't co-operate with the police. So probably not. I have a mate who comes from Leyton, and wouldn't go back for a lottery win.
