Oxford Street Stabbing..
 

I ended up leaving there almost as soon as I got there.

Sad loss of life.
R.I.P
-----------------------------

An 18-year-old has been stabbed to death in London, on one of the UK's busiest shopping streets.

The man died outside the Foot Locker sports shop on Oxford Street, near the junction with Stratford Place.

Police said they were called to the scene at about 13:45 GMT. Nine people were arrested and part of the street, near Bond Street Tube, was closed.

WOW that's somewhere I'd never even consider something like this happening. Shame really as I love visiting Oxford Street.

Terrible.

:bored:

Sometimes I think it's backwards we're going. All these stabbings are so brutal and animal like.

It's crazy it happened during Boxing Day sales....I mean it really could not of been at a more packed time.

If its over shopping or getting pissed with the crowds over it, just absolutely disgusting.

It was the skunk and GTA what done it.

Probably died for a cheap pair of trainers :(

Said the exact same thing to my friend an hour ago :(

It's so pathetic and meaningless. It's somebodies life ffs! People just carry knives willy nilly without a shred of thought about using them :mad:

I know, it's unbelievable that someone can walk out the house with the weapon like it's no big deal, and take someone's life over something so petty. Killing someone is obviously never acceptable but killing them over THAT of all things ffs? It absolutely disgusts me.

Not to mention, removing someone's life like that, it seems these people don't realise how many people it's going to affect. And yet they can still go ahead and do it. Truly awful.

has it actually been confirmed it was over shopping >_>

says on one site it was a gang war

It wasn't over shopping.....It was an ongoing dispute apparently.


Doesn't make it any better of course.

Doubtful. It probably is more likely to be gang related. Just as stupid though. Just as needless, mindless and pathetic

:(

What a waste of a life, condolonces to the mans family:(.

All these petty gang wars or just brutal crimes in general really are pathetic:mad:.

Killing someone in front of hundreds of people in a crowded shopping centre, very clever.. sad news, least it looks like they've probably got the guys who did it

I dunno if that is actually the guy or someone chatting **** but wow....

Ugh

What does "wet dat yoot up nicely" mean? Is about him stabbing the guy or something :/

Oh my bad lol

the whole status means "I am hiding from police in Oxford street, I stabbed the kid up nicely"

Oh right D:

Could get the first bit but didn't know enough slang for that second half :p

scum :bored:

Any vague reason why it happened? Havn't really kept up with it

Seems gang related but I think it's all speculation so far

There was another stabbing too. Not far away from there. They don't know if it's related or not though yet. The guy is in hospital with leg wounds

Yes Alive that one.



They say those at Oxford Street
were two Gangs.
Both wanting to Nick shoes.

So was this another Black on Black stabbing? They actually have a unit that just deals with that now.

Is it G-Unit?

The coat is already on.

The video of people crowding the police to capture the event on camera is shocking. Idiots; heartless, mindless idiots.

I only just got that now reading back :joker:

The trouble is today people want things yesterday, gone are the days when you saved for what you wanted. Youngsters have no real values no more.
A life for a pair of trainers :conf:

Most youngsters have plenty of values. I value reading articles and not making assumptions, for instance.

The person who was killed was very much involved in the gang lifestyle. I highly doubt it is over trainers. It was just gang violence gone too far.

It is Gangs , true
but these Trainers if bought in the sale
can be re -sold with a Value more than Gold.


The same problem is in America.
They are Limited Edition Trainers

The Fecking Limited Edition Market is Deadly
to some.

and LBC.

Yes it Stinks

With a USA/China Imported Limited Edition trainers
at the heart of it all.


with a re-sale market
above gold.

Yep - far too many of them.

and a great many more than ever before - have little or no value - other than what they want - and get - at any cost.
