London on track for highest number of teenage killings in more than a decade

- The statistics on the number of deaths from knife crime are stark. Some 548 people were murdered using a knife or bladed object in 2020.
And if that wasn't shocking enough, an even more staggering fact is that the number of teenagers murdered with a knife in London is on the rise. Seventeen teenagers have been murdered this year alone.
The Metropolitan Police say we are now on track for the highest number of deaths in over a decade.

I'm 19 and was a victim of knife crime when I was mugged last night, thankfully I managed to get away uninjured but have had stuff taken from me. I have told the police what happened but feel I cant make a statement as you cant do this anonymously, kids can find out so much from a name these days; all they have to do is ask around and they know where you live. I don't feel safe making a statement - This is yet another part of the problem
From my perspective, going through my teenage years over the last decade; the answer to knife crime isn't clear cut. Many blame the lack of youth services like youth clubs, but the truth is these kinds of places just don't appeal to teenagers. I don't know what the solution is but a different approach needs to be looked into.
Unlucky bro carry something to protect yourself
@Muttley 69 Tories are the party who have decimated youth services and public funding.
Youth support through clubs is exactly what's lacking.
I hear what all of you are saying. children are impressionable. They copy what they see or experience. Decades ago there was a form of prison called Borstal for dangerous criminal youths. I'm not sure if it was the right sort of place to send young men/boys. Compulsory National service disciplined young men. Again not sure if that works either. It suits some but ruins others I've witnessed. Youth clubs helped in our area and other wards in the town. Trouble did start during lockdown when they were closed. Stop eating red meat/McDonald's etc. It raises the temper. Some prison's today put prisoners on vegetarian diets. It calmed them down. Teaching them to grow veg and fruit helped too. It's helped many young ex-offenders who now in their 50s with families and a good life. Still growing their own food. It's hard work till you reap the reward.and never give up if things go wrong. Basketball and boxing supposed to work but I don't think kick boxing is a good idea because that's used for the wrong reason
Just to be clear I'm not saying that the country is lacking youth centres (even though I agree it is). What I'm saying is most youths are not interested in attending youth centres now. They're more interested in doing other stuff. What we need to see is governments/local councils making an effort to make youth clubs more appealing to young people, the real question is what they can actually do to make them more appealing.
I do to an extent agree that we need some form of national service re introduced in the UK, I think something like this would not only reduce crime but also potentially increase healthy living with the exercises involved.
Uneducated teenagers with dysfunctional families, who dont know what to do with their life. It is a huge problem in any big city, not only in UK.
People like you are the problem, "drinking the Kool-Aid” always pitying the offender and coming up with answers that will only make you feel better.
Look up, brain biology of a psychopath.
Enlighten yourself that human defects are natural and some will be born passive while others will be more agressive and dominant.
Your mindset is what leads to true tragedy, further helping the corruption spread by giving the most narcissistic personalities the opportunity to flourish in your false utopia, which in turn will lead to massive loss of deaths in the name of competition.
Actually your right there,

It was evening 15 years ago and I was returning from a disco in Paris , I was stopped by several boys and while we were arguing the one behind me stabbed me 3 times 1 in the back and 2 in the leg.
I had done nothing to anyone.
It's just that the whole world is changing for the worse.

I don’t feel nothing, just very hot
@Endrit Lleshi what a stupid question
Stop saying drill music does not play a part because it does
we play both kinds of music, country and Western.
Drill music plays a HUGE part in this it glorifies and makes stabbing people look cool and the only way to respond to hostilities from someone and normalises it. I seen a clip of a video where the kid says in his drill song something along the lines of "his mum says hi but doesn't know ill be the one shanking her son"and makes a stabbing motion whilst rapping it. Its not the only factor but is a big one definitely and anyone who says it isn't is part of the problem
@@TheMakaveli09 said hi to a next mans mum she don't know imma kill her son
I listen to drill and it doesn’t make me carry a knife 😂😂😂
@@TheMakaveli09 Theres also a case where a teen stabbed and killed another teen. after if he made videos lip syncing and laughing "should have seen the way that i kweffed him" which is a line from a famous drill song... drill definitely has a influence in the normalisation of violent crimes on the younger generation.
Culture and mindset plays into this. I grew up on a council estate, and i remember being 15-16 and feeling like i needed to carry a weapon to be safe. With hindsight, me and everyone i knew were (without realising it) too into 'gang culture', in the music we listened to, how we dressed, and our outlook on the world. We inherently saw the world as against us, and thought our lives would be a fight to survive. That just isn't true in one of the richest countries in the world.
As the piece shows, crime (and murders, even) are actually falling. But certain people, with narrow world views (like me at 15/16), don't know any better. I couldn't see beyond the estate i lived on.
If you grow up here thinking you are being denied opportunity, you are wrong. People literally risk everything for the opportunities available here. Just do the boring stuff - go to college, get a couple qualifications, get a job, and pretty quickly all this stuff seems kinda ridiculous. There will always be people who look at the world like it's dog eat dog, but this country isn't a failed state (yet). It is not "literally a warzone" out there. That is in your outlook.
How to fix it though? No idea. Start by changing the culture. Reopen youth centres. Offer more free courses to young people. Increase Educational Maintenance Allowance. Prove to people at a younger age that there is stuff for them.
Excellent comments!!!
I would say you still have a narrow view. As the boy said what he sees when he leaves his house. Thats not in his mind is it? Its reality. Maybe it was in your mind but dont think its not someone elses reality.
@@Davez2023 : There is only 1 reality. Whether or not you can see that is another problem altogether. Just because some people cannot see opportunity: doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Youngsters won’t listen and they refuse to learn. It’s always the HARD way. No discipline and less patience.
@@JayJordanJuly With all due respect, I said nothing about what outlook the boy has. He sais he has hope. And he wants change. But it is still his reality that when he steps out of his house he is confronted with dangers that are out of his hands.
Kids stabbing other kids is probably because they’re bored and fall into gang culture, if we give kids opportunities to do what THEY would like to do and harness their passions then maybe this wouldn’t be an issue all over the world and not just here. I too (in Australia) was around gang culture young but instead of pursuing reputation in the streets (which eventually happened anyway but I’ll explain further) I joined a boxing/kickboxing gym and became one of the most dangerous young fighters in the area. Other people knowing this in my area naturally kept me out a lot of fights where as usually I’d be in them prior to my combat sports journey. Best thing was when I did need to use my skills in the ring out on the street it’d be over pretty quickly 😂
Nobody can point a finger for fear of being labeled racist
Don't be stupid stop your foolishnes.the police can do there job they just need understand the black community
"Nobody can point a finger for fear of being labeled racist" Shitpost off.
Wbt in Glasgow? Cuz it’s not black boys getting stabbed up, it’s white boys. How is race got anything to do with
Last month the BBC was supporting defunding the police.
Good observation 👍
I can understand frustrated teenagers panicking and fed up with lockdowns but this is something else. Crazy. Senseless.
This started before lockdown :(
Lockdown is not the reason these kids just need something to do like clubs or a part time job to keep them distracted I believe
This has nothing to do with the nonsense of lockdown
Community council funded hubs for youth has been defunded for nearly a decade across the UK.
Definitely not something to help with these cases.
we talking about london , most other places are not the same lol , some are though , inner city shiteholes , divided and hateful , ask why then sort it
The idea that youth clubs will stop degenerates from stabbing each other is a dangerous lie that should never have been sold.
As if them youth hubs would actually achieve anything, the majority of the youth dont do anything like this. It's a cultural thing.
Absolutely heartbreaking truely is

A lifestyle that is proudly celebrated in a genre called Drill. Are we really surprised at the fatalities?

It would be sane if society was homogeneous
Deploy the army to assist the police patrolling the street, search anyone out after 9PM, if your found with a knife then send them to a youth detention centre or fine the parents. Get kids into sports programs or even the various cadet programs. Have school trips formkids to get out of London and see different areas of the UK, give kids some hope.
Then you would call it fascism and moan about that too.
Well that is unwarranted search and seizure. And you should be able to carry a knife for protection especially as an adult
Most crimes by youths happen between 2pm and 5pm.
Go back to your job and leave thinking to the thinking ones.
Cammy that wont help, todays youngsters wouldn't care, their not scared of that kind of thing. The most effective action is to take away the means to communicate via social media, wattsapp etc. they'd be lost, its that simple.

Stop blaming the government, police, lack of opportunities, poor family, no father in the home and racism. No excuse to stab someone. Plenty of people born into families with not much money who don't go around trying to stab people and rise to greatness. These youngsters are trying to take the fast easy money route to success and for that they pay the price. Plenty of opportunities in London if you look around. The greatest inventions we use today were started by rejects with no money. Nothing is easy. Take responsibility for your own actions.
Most apparently carry knives for self-defence.
That's more of a rant than a sufficient intervention. Any excuse to neglect the problem i guess...
@@robertbones326 experience! I'm raised on a council estate around drug dealers and gangs. Alot of these youngsters simply want street fame and fast money. Many of them even have a good education. There's gang members with university degree's. A man must take responsibility for his own actions we all have choices.

I remember when the entirety of europe was lambasting the U.S for "not doing enough" for the blacks, the thing is, these people you will never integrate and assimilate, for 70 years, we have provided blacks elevated test scores, guaranteed employment in the public sector, and a multitude of state and federal scholarships, any other group afforded such privledges would be swimming in riches and paying dues back to the nation, these people don't. Worse!, once they reach a certain number, these people bring the community surrounding them down with them.
I have never seen this happen with indians, chinese, koreans, indonesians, etc, only africans, especiallly african americans.
I would never want a mayor like that in my country because he only cares about criminals by making excuses. I wouldn't want to visit London because it's filled with crime and too little has been done. England, great job at promoting crime! You deserve what you have created. Stand behind criminals.
Where did they get the 548 figure from - official OSN stats indicate the figure for 2020 was 275.
A lot of theft and petty crime in London more than Spain and France which is crazy
After years of interventions by politicians? Wasn't the funding for all those projects and youth activities cut during austerity?
Yes. All of the good that had been done by Labour was wiped off by the last 3 Tory governments. 163 youth clubs closed between 2014 and 2019. I've seen an infographic that shows way more shocking numbers but I can't remember where. We need a government willing to invest in everyone, not just their friends
Without guns or widespread guns
Turn to next dangerous weapon that is widely available. Open more boxing gyms will save loads from a life of crime and a focus on discipline and sport instead of gangs.
Yep, I agree. Open more gyms, social clubs for these people give them some thing good to do and watch the crime levels drop.
When you here countless times in this video, have no self worth no sense of value. Would be changed per individual within 2 months of training and togetherness with gym environment. Lives would be saved on the streets and not in jail. And a dream of world titles cars and wealth. FFS politicians open your eyes and ears and act.

G'day,
Um, so, once upon a time the CitiZenry was permitted to own Firearms, in the Waybackwhen..., because EVERYBODY understood that Firearms were TOOLS for Hunting, or TOYS, for Target-Practice...; and EVERYBODY knew that Firearms were USELESS for resolving Interpersonal Conflicts - because introducing threats of Deadly Force always escalates Conflict by inviting the THREATENED Party to respond with suddenly Violent Reprisals....
And, then, beginning with Penny-Dreadful "Westerns" & Pulp-Fiction Killer-Thrillers, Magazine & Newspaper Serials, growing through Radio, Movies, & Television..., a bunch of Entrepreneurial Capitalist Drama Queens contrived to make increasingly lucrative incomes by selling the ideas that Violence is EXCITING & Vengence is (Self) Righteous...; and that whomsoever shoots firstest & fastest WINS, & gets to fcuk the pretty Girl & then ride off into the Sunset to get Drunk, and nobody mentioned PTSD or screaming at the Midnight Visitors.
So, progressively, inexorably, the dysfunctional segments of the CitiZenry began to fantasise about producing a Firearm with which to augment their next Temper Tantrum - or Anxiety Attack..., and then they commenced to Act Out their Fantasies.
Therefore, thus, & because..., access to Firearms has been increasingly heavily regulated & restricted ; as the Government attempted to reduce the incidence of Dickheads shootin' themselves, their family, their neighbours, and members of their community, and (here in Oz) that has worked quite well.
However, just(ifiably ?) as the Guns were being taken away from the CitiZenry the Entrepreneurial Capitalist Drama-Queens responded by launching "First Person Shooter/Fighter" Interactive Video Games, with which to augment the increasingly violent Movies & TV Programmes saturating the Suburban Gestalt/Zeitgeist, thus generating ever more income for the "Industry", and leading the otherwise unemployed, unoccupied, bored & unsatisfied to spend ever more hours every day of every week of every month of every year of their lives..., Neuro-Synaptically Programming their Learned Responses to repeatedly ATTACK on the slightest SUSPICION of any PERCIEVED THREAT..., because that's how to win, in their Game/s.
And Knife-Fighting has thus Bin-Glorified, by the Entrepreneurial Capitalist Drama-Queens, with entire "Industries" devoted to pumping out Marketing Jism intended to make every little boy crave a 12-inch bladed Bowie Knife (like the one which my grandmother gave me for Xmas - 54 years ago, when I was 6 years old..., & which I today still possess !).
So, as the disgruntled, bored, anxious, boisterous & otherwise unoccupied (young & dumb) dysfunctional segments of Society commenced to pull knives on each other and attempt to implement their Swordfighting Samurai/Jim Bowie Fantasies on whomsoever "looks at them the wrong way..." - the carraige of Knives has duly Bin-Regulated....
And, so, now..., you seriously think that the best way to improve the situation would be to take the cranky young Wannabes who don't know how to do more than fantasise about Fighting & thus becoming a "Winner", and you want to collect them & TEACH them to fight & injure each other, Systematically & Scientifically..., so that instead of "needing" a Stab hitting some critical Organ or Blood-Vessel to kill whomsoever it is of which they're afraid..., they'll be better trained & able to kill & maim each other with bareknuckle Fisticuffs, Karate, Judo, or Tai-Kwan-Do ; really ?
Perhaps, Munchkin, you should look up terms like
"Counterproductive Circular Pseudo-Logical Fallacy...",
Hmmmn ?!?!
The way to reduce Knife Violence, I found, was to teach my Children to respect the sharpness of Knives from the age of 3, when they were given a sharpened Tomahawk - with which to role-model from the other side of the Woodpile, as I split & cut the daily firewood...., neither of my kids has ever cut themselves or anybody else with an Axe..., they both got Folding Lock-Knives at age 6, & 12 plus-inch bladed Sheath-Knives at 10...; and by his 14th birthday my son had paid for his second Chainsaw, with Firewood Sales...
At 17, he killed a Wild Boar with the 15-inch Bladed Kukri which I gave him as a 10 year-old..., and he has never gone hunting again...., Been There/Done That, y'see.
And, when he was 17 he was elected the youngest Deputy Brigade Captain in the NSW Rural Fire Service..., making full Brigade Captain at 24.
But, I digress..., the point is that any Parent who fails to raise their Children to behave safely around Sharp Edged Tools, or fails to teach their Children that ONLY Lunatics & Fcukwits think that it's ever acceptable to threaten another Human with Violence - with or without any Force Multiplier....; has been a Negligent Failure as a Parent.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
My kids are today 32 & 31, and they haven't yet "gone off the Rails".
Therefore my conciet is that I'm qualified to hold a valid opinion on.this matter, and to voice it ; for consideration.
Just(ifiably ?) sayin'.
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Stay safe.

Ciao !

For example, learning to be a diver (not SCUBA) is extremely expensive but the navy will train you for that which you would be able to make a carreer from once you have left.

These kids know they can carry a knife around without consequence and once other people they know start doing it, some feel they have to as well to protect themselves.
They need to be afraid of repercussions if they're carrying a knife, stop and search needs bringing back, since Sadiq Khan pushed for it to be removed knife crime has skyrocketed.
More needs to be done to stop music encouraging knife crime and drug dealing becoming socially acceptable. I put on radio 1 now and it's just shite drill music that's 50% censored (kids obviously then listen to the uncensored version where they brag about 'dipping their shank' in their 'ops' over a fucking postcode).
When i lived in Croydon London i was told not to be outside after 9 its just very dangerous
It takes a village to raise kids (parents, local government, communities etc) somewhere for the last 10 or so years that has been completely demolished. Many of these crimes can be prevented, show these men a way out, not just through words but both words and action, show them that you do not need a knife. I come from a council estate and my family is not rich by a long a stretch ( a typical working class family) and non of my siblings or even me for that matter have never been raised to think you need to carry a knife 24/7 and my area is very poor (sh!thole in fact) it has been poor for years, now it is gentrified or going through the extreme version of that term. The choice is there, support is there. Use your brain and grasp it and find something better to do with your lives (it is never too late to leave road).
pretty sick that we basically expect disadvantaged people to dig themselves out of their damaging situation to try and compete with the rest of with the burden of their past eg low education or skills limited social connections criminal record. not much of an offer at all
Excuse my ignorance but could anybody tell me what the head covering Jhemar (the black guy) is wearing is called? I've seen it worn by other people and would like to learn more about it. Thanks in advance!!
It's a durag it's often worn by black people
@@beanhole123 Thanks
It's called a durag.
If this was sky news, all the comments would've been about sadiq khan.
A KNIFE? WTH
There is no solution, i guess we just have to see this escalate to next level.
Drug gangs are a big part of it. We should take drug profits from criminal's pockets by legalising, or at least decriminalising, drugs.
@@andrewbaumann2661 how is taking the money away from these criminals gonna help anything they will just turn to even worse crimes than dealing to make a living
2:20 why did they have to mention this? Why does everything have to be about race...
Police need a metal detector, like the one at airports, used to run manually around a body.
We need more police who's numbers were drastically cut under the Tories.
We need more innate good morals.
We need more fathers in those homes

Parents should be put in jail along with the teenagers. Good parenting would have prevented such madness (SPECIALLY WHEN 13 YEARS OLD ARE WEARING KNIVES AND KILLING EACH OTHER). I grew up in a poor family but I never went to sell drugs or anything like that. Instead, I went to UNI and got a really good-paying job and this is only because my parents focus on trying to put their children on the right path.
This is an environmental issue. When you live in these kind of environments crime always follows. Look at the Italians, back in the 20s,30s,40s,50s they were still living in the ghettos of America. And what came of that? Drug trafficking, gun violence, creation of the mob.. But those things are glorified in the media for some reason (Goodfellas, The Godfather, A Bronx Tale). They were living in environments that were so bad they had to go out and commit crimes just to make a living. Same with the Irish people back in the early 1900s. They were treated less than human and housed in the slums and thus crime went rampant even worse than the Italians. These guys would literally go out searching for rival gangs just so they could kill them. Just that this wasn't labelled Italian on Italian or Irish on Irish crime. It was just crime...
More prevention and youth support projects. And not some, a lot more.
More sadiq Khan.. Lifelong mayorship
The funding for these was cut by the Tory governments during the period of austerity from 2010.
A vicious circle of pain and suffering 😪

The thing is, more deaths are caused through domestic violence and suicide than being a victim of knife crime. It doesn’t mean that this still isn’t an issue ( especially due to the young ages) but why aren’t the media talking about the young men who commit suicide every day, or doing anything to prevent it? I feel sad whenever I hear about the loss of life including knife crime but the figures are down due to initiatives such as mentors, youth workers, young people choosing different routes etc. but we don’t hear about the successes. I know people who don’t want to live in London based on the stories about knife crime when it doesn’t happen all over London.
Do you really not know who’s doing this?
I’m American and I know who’s responsible for the crime in Britain. You’re not actually this pollyannish, are you?
People who commit suicide aren't part of groups who create more tragedy, that's why this is more talked about.
Look up, brain psychology of a psychopath, and you'll see how dangerous it is to fall to the fallacies of the softness brought to you through liberal ideas.
@@NoahBodze first of all pollyannaish isn’t even a word and no, I’m not naive at all. I have 4 brothers who’ve all been in trouble with the police, I’ve worked as a Social Worker, a Counsellor and my sister committed suicide. How dare you be so judgemental. You can just state your opinions without being personal when you don’t even know someone.
@@TrustThePlan just your opinion. You can argue your point based on your ideology and beliefs but it doesn’t make you right. Calling people soft is just your definition but it holds no weight. Where are your facts? Where’s your research? Where’s your statistics? I don’t regard myself as a liberal, I would consider myself to be a realist who’s also open-minded with my own beliefs not someone who follows the majority. I don’t need to read one book tittle that supports your ideology unless you’re gonna read another 50 books that I could give you titles of that support my ideology. We live in a world where people think they can prove things by saying ‘ there’s a book about it or I saw a programme about it or it happened to my friend. That’s not evidence, it’s just an example.
@@mariancounsellor I mean, what if you weren’t so incurious? What if you didn’t lean into ever low stereotype about you and prove it true?
Smh 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ the delusion is real what they wont tell u is criminals will find any means to commit violence
The first step is get rid of Sadiq Khan and get a real mayor who is tough on crime. Guy is a joke.
Vote Britain first
I got jumped by 15 people on my way home, knocked unconsious, and kidnapped. The police told me not to report them because they could come for my home and my family.
Press X to doubt.
@@frankie5821 Oo
@KA i wish i was.
I’m all up for society as a whole acknowledgment of these problems and finding collectively solutions but r we purposefully ignoring the fact that ghetto culture and parents/ bad parenting are also at the core of this problem? Everyone seems to immediately get on the cosy collective gilt wagon but please grow some b, be intelligent, constructive and rational…
2 Esdras 15:15-19
[15]For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.
[16]For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
[17]A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
[18]For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
[19]A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
Amen
More like 17 🔪 per month. 😞
There needs to be a stronger stop and search in the U.K. Why are adults stabbing kids. :(
Train them for the army ,learning discipline and would be constructive and beneficial .
Heard that before. Offending rate are about the same, except that ex-soldiers can kill more effectively.
"and would be constructive and beneficial" No. That's belief-based and not evidence-based.
Army is only good for people who want to join. Probably feel like a prison sentence to these teenagers.
@@robertbones326 so what. They want to fight then stick them in the army and let them fight. They need to except responsibility for their actions. Prison doesn't work.
@@emm_arr during the days of conscription we didn't have this problem.
@@woodlandbiker
It isn't good for army to have people with issues working for them. Would you want to work for soneone who caused problems all the time?
Oh yeah it’s so much better to live on the queens private island than it is to live in America
God and Her Majesty be with you.
Amen.
LEGALIZE GUNS
Wow, and here it is....
we lose more every day in England than we did per day in the Afghan war... let that sink in.
20,000 more police officers still only brings us up too the levels we had 10 years ago, the major problem is that mental health services are now so poorly funded that the police are the main responders when problems happen. Maybe if spending was increased in the NHS on mental health within our societies these problems would be avoided or at least de-escalated, talking as a mum who's child suffers from chronic pain and has been in contact with the mental health crisis team on several occasions only for them to be given just a print out of volunteer groups phone numbers such as the Samaritans, AA, Mind , etc. Passing this problem on too charities is not the answer!
Mental health isn’t something that can be addressed here. The faces of the victims are also the profiles of the perpetrators who come from denotatively unenlightened countries with room temperature IQs.
Your altruism is beyond naive; it’s suicidal.
Now look at the rise of Drill music's popularity and sales in the same time period it's an almost identical rise...Gangs by default are for followers without the spine or IQ to be themselves
Or maybe it could be that the rise poverty has caused a rise in crime and therefore more people are talking about the life of crime that they’re living? That’s like what came first, the chicken or the egg lol.
Or maybe people are scared of gangs and make gangs themselfe for security to fight of the other gangs that terrorize them
@@ashuranero5721 It's more down to the fact that no matter the time in history ,fashion,race or country teenage lads have always gathered and felt like they need to compete with other teenage lads it's human nature,I did the same myself...Only most cultures manage to do this and settle their differences with and flex their egos with fists and then grow out of the gang mentality in a few years and its something you learn from and go on to better things...Drill and anything that is emulating American gang culture seems to not have that common sense ,empathy or intelligence to keep it in perspective and seems to be a career move where ending up dead ,killing another or in jail seems like an acceptable outcome....Probably because America has by far the worst education system in the developed world and by the time lads hit their teens they are too dumb to understand the big picture.
@@HULLGRAFFITI Trying to blame it on drill is ridiculous! I listen to drill…I’ve never carried a knife outside of my house (except when I’ve bought them for my home or moved home of course!) I’m 25 and have no criminal record and the only ‘criminal’ activity I take part in is smoking cannabis (which I did way before drill was even invented) I grew up on grime and hip hop and later became a fan of some drill. It doesn’t make me want to join a gang and stab people….that’s the most flawed concept I’ve ever heard!!! Go listen to drill for a week straight or however long you feel is necessary then see if you have the heart to take a life, it just doesn’t work like that!!
Don’t blame drill music please
Where is blm
That's what the establishment wants
How...all this ignorance violence and pointless murder just shows that they don't have control...Or are you trying to claim 'the establishment' somehow gains something from a tiny tiny handful of kids on council estates stabbing each other ? They don't care either way ..The only ppl who loose here are the poor kids who get dragged into this ignorance by living among the dumb kids who think this is something to be impressed by
@@HULLGRAFFITI that's what the establishment wants
There seems to be some sort of connection to these deaths but i can't put my finger on it but somewhere in the black of my mind i hear the words "Rivers of Blood"
Sadiq Khan!?!
Jesus Christ Teachings, the Bible and the Holy Spirit ordained by Almighty God is the answer.
How many youth taking Jesus seriously in UK, it's kinda sad for what happening in UK.
Ironically most of those kids grow up in religious households. The problems are the gangs and culture. Their own friends/peers drag them down and stop them trying to get an education. "Why iz ya tryin ta be white?" Is the usual accusation against a kid just trying to get an education and get a chance in life.
It needs a massive cultural change for the area. Teaching them to take personal responsibility and not blaming everyone else for their own failings.
Would be great if your god stopped allowing these kids to be killed…
What a shame. London has such a poor police services that the criminals dare to do these activities in day light. Awful people and what about safety then. London is the most expensive and the most criminals in the capital.
NEWS FLASH!!! Knives do not commit crime! People do!!!
Back in 2018 when I was 18 I was almost stabbed but I thought back and the guy with the knife did not do anything
Yeah whatever mate. Stop stunting on the tube. That did not happen
U cannot blame the parents stop putting the blame on us parents 🙄😒
Stop blocking the screen when stood up reporting, please!!
Open the gates let them all in..Enoch
Not all parents are bad, that's not true, what is true is you cannot discipline kids and bad kids get rewarded. Fact
Maybe kids are becoming out of control, just like the lot where I live, they know they’re above any kind of discipline. Kids today!
That's such a shame and sad . even in 2021 people still use blade not machine gun
Like captain kirk said "KHAN!"
What about a colosseum?
