I’m a black young man from esst London, I’ve never understood why would you kill someone because they live in a different estate, 10 min away from yours??? I can understand if there’s a territorial dispute regarding each gangs interest for drug trafficking, but just because they live In a different area??? Most of our parents are immigrants that came for a better life, and we throw away ours… for our post code… that we don’t even own (properties)
These things are systemic. We see the same things in the US. The powers that be have always supported certain groups destroying themselves. We need to give our young people direction before the streets do.
I mean it’s deeper than that small little different beefs escelating to murder and shit which brings everyone who’s mans got killed into it and going on for generations. Drug beefs etc included. It’s just as with normal wars between countries or civil wars not that different.
All this gang stuff is a melting pot of serious mental health issues ☠️ these guys in the SUV searching for people to kill is just madness. I'm grateful I never got wrapped up in this postcode war rubbish lol
@@user-ot2rw5gu2s doesn't mean it's postcode beef, it started off between other things and most of the gangs are in the same postcode, N16 is stamford hill and stokey16, they beef each other, holly st and lfb/zt are e8, etc
An area being a shit hole or a nice place is all about the culture and mentality of the residents. You can be below the breadline and still maintain morals and pride. It's always a mentality that creates a culture, if these 2 ingredients are off then so will the area.
its a shithole cah too many people think that shotting will get them out, its usually out of desperation or grooming rather than just being a mental case.
@@Isleofskyeonly seeing colour is your mistake, the biggest variable in determining crime is poverty.

@@lukeatbrandynightful Sorry, Luke but, whereas, you ARE right in that it has NOTHING to do with "colour" it has EVERYTHING to do with CULTURE. I realized wtll over 50 years ago it is the accompanying Culture that is the problem. Those SAME areas and SAME housing Estates in Southwatk(UK highest Social housing=97%) were very safe in my 29 years there. My flats never needed security. Now? TWO sets of security systems plus CCTV plus some Grills on the windows. Look at The Black West Africans. They OUTPERFORM White kids at school because 98% come from 2 Parents families and Education is paramount like it is for Asians, Chinese, and Jewish people who all succeed(in general) in Society. Black British of Jamaican antecedency have a completely different Culture. Whereas those other aforementioned Groups have 98% Two parents with The Dad giving emotional, practical, and financial support to his Partner and children,it is only 21.6% in The Black British Caribbean Community and not much higher for Mixed Heritage children. As someone who has socialized with endless Black Ladies(I live with a Jamaican lady) over the decades,I could give you endless examples. My Black Ladyfriend is one of 6 Babymothers from one Guy and his Brother has had " 14 or 15" children making 20 or 21 kids, without a Father, and though an extreme example, that is widespread. This is why you see so many Black progeny with Double Barrel names as the Black Mother, rightly, thinks her name should be on the Birth Certificate as she brought up the child on her own. Only having one parent, who then tends to be away from home having 2 jobs is WHY so many people from that Community are poor and they have the highest percentage of people in social housing being 42% of their Community with Whites next ar 21%. NOTHING to do with melanin or pigmentation but EVERYTHING to do with Culture.
No one can ever say that drill doesn't influence violence, it is literally a music genre that ONLY talks about violence and promotes that. If a 12-25yr old is listening to it daily thats going to influence them to get involved. TO think otherwise is completely deluded despite what your favourite rapper says
Exactly. Maybe a 21+ person won't be influenced but these low self esteem impressionable, angry 13-18 year olds boys are 100% influenced. It's a lifestyle
Lool those who don’t agree are deluded guys will diss dead rivals and cause a sped up retaliation or even the whole “no cap in my rap” where guys know they have to really be doing what they rap about on tracks or won’t get taken seriously to many examples to pick out on why drill is influential
Yeah let's blame drill just like everyone blamed gangsta rap back in the 90's. Guess what? Gangsta rap faded away but people were still killing each other. How does that work? Take the music away you think everyone just gonna get along ? How about stop complaining about music which would influence a tiny minority and start looking at the bigger picture. Damn I'm probably talking to some boomer who knows f- all about sociology and pre determinants of crime and health.
I lived in Dalston during this period, and I remember my girlfriend at the time telling me she had to call the police on a bus because a bunch of teenagers were discussing stabbing another bunch of teenagers. They were talking about ambushing their ops, and other wild shit. It was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard. Kids planning to kill other kids over basically nothing. I grew up in Brent, and remembered what it was like a decade earlier when the mandem gang were beefing with east and south London crews, and they were literally just walking up to people in cars, shops and restaurants and just shooting them. I thought all that dumb shit was over. It's getting bad again, and places that were recovering from gang violence are basically back at it again. I hate the atmosphere in a lot of London now. It's really important that people realize there is more to life than what happens in your estate and postcode.

My Parents and I, moved from Nenagh, Co Tipp in Ireland to Gascoigne Estate in Hackney in the later 80's. Although there was a sense of Gang Culture when I was growing up it was nothing compared to today. We moved away form Hackney in 1997 to Yorkshire where it was obviously more rural. However, I also felt the pace was too slow so I went back to live in Hackney in my early 20's - I live on Crosston Street, just off Broadway Market. There was a real push for gentrification and housing prices and general cost of living skyrocketed. I loved living there, I worked on Dalston Lane and was well aware of the increased gang culture, I often wondered what my life would have been like if we didn't leave Gascoigne Estate, I feel it was for the best. Thankfully today, I get to visit London alot and never feel like a tourist. GREAT VIDEO AND LOVE REMINSING ABOUT SEEING ALL THOSE OLD ESTATES I USED TO PLAY FOOTBALL ON!!!
Bit older than you but was born and bought up in Hackney by old school Jamaican parents close to Stoke Newington. Lived down the road from Gascoyne years later with an ex girlfriend. Also my older brother was really good friends with a guy i got to know called Michael or Mike, big friendly guy from Tralee. My brother went over there and stayed with Mike and his family for a week and loved it. Kept telling me how Guiness is so much better in Ireland!
14:42 it was during history class at Petchey Academy (the school on the left) that my friend was looking out the window, saw the crash, shouted and called the whole class over to then see a group of boys getting chased by the cops. It was the last lesson of the day and once the higher-ups were notified about what happened, nobody was allowed to go through Shacklewall Lane to go home as it was to dangerous. I had never seen nothing like it before and for years completely forgot this ever happened, almost everyone had to walk through Stoke Newington Road to get home. I was in year 7 when it happened, im now in my first year of college 😂 Thanks for reminding me about this. RIP to the kid.
What's sad is all these areas used to par together I came from Clapton parred with stokey and square had bredrins in holly st and fields too. I could walk to all these areas and check my peoples. I'm 50 now and am saddened that areas my friends came from are now outta bounds how is this a thing? The ends is too small for all this !! Let's keep it real our parents all went Ridley market or mare street to shop how you gonna have opps on your doorstep? We need to do better 💯🙏
What? Say that in English. Bredrin is that sone sort of bakers loaf? Peoples? Kind of talk is that your grandparents came here to better their families they must be proud.
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bo lol the fact that you deduce a level of intellect and success to how one writes is funny to me, but we are all entitled to an option and this is yours. For the record I'm sure my grandparents are fine with how I've bettered my family.

I have lived in East London and now North East London and Hackney has always been rough, I have never heard anyone refer to it any other way to until now? I don't know about the 60's/70's but in my life it has always had the rep it has! And I was expecting a documentary, not the bare essentials.
My dad lived in Hoxton where he was young and he (currently) works in the flat in Stamford Hill as he works for Hackney Homes, My uncle Darren lived in Shoreditch when he was young and he went to school there, My mum lived in Stamford Hill and over in Stoke Newington with her own house in the 80s and 90s and I was born in the hospital in Homerton in the late 90s before my family moved from Hackney to Walthamstow. Things change back in the day. Anyway great content mate. 👍
Hackney Homes is a former company that managed housing services on behalf of Hackney Council and ceased to operate about 8 years ago when housing services returned in-house to Hackney Council
Great video mate, I grew up in Homerton around Millfields road and Chatsworth road until the early 2000s, me and my mates were only little year 6s by the time I moved out so I only knew maybe 3 or 4 people who had experiences with street violence, but it was around all of us regardless, gun shots at night round clapton pond, kids bringing knives into primary school, seems it's got a lot worse now.
If they knew the plan they might stop killing each other. Guys need to love themselves and start owning their postcode. Yep buy properties. See the value shoot up 15 years down the line. Buying property means working and earning. It’s all doable. Have better plans in life. Doctors, architects, bankers, etc were born in Hackney… you can make out if you want to… that aside…hmm i would mention parenting… but well these guys are young adults…they have a choie. We all do. …. Let’s make the right choice and make plans for a prosperous future. One ❤️
I live near Hackney in Stepney. This just sounds so stupid to me. I know if I was caught up in this it would be my life. So I’m grateful to be on the outside observing the craziness unfold. Rather than being the statistic or part of the problem.
My grandparents lived in Bridge House in hackney from 1964 to 2007 (Homerton hight st. / Fenn St.) I think the location is actually briefly in this video at10:45 with bridge house now demolished and replaced. I spent a lot of time on the estate from 1980 - 2007 and it has always been a rough area, but only because of poverty. The sense of community was as strong as I have known anywhere in the UK, although the gentrification of the borough has probably atomised that.
I was born on that road! lol.. (Mothers Hospital). I specifically know some of those characters that got that stretch named, "murder mile", only most of them actually lived in Upper Clapton.
Dying for the streets ain't worth it! The devils deceiving these young man to think this "badman" life is cool! Well it isn't imagine dying without repentance! THESE young men need jesus in there life✝️✝️✝️
Im born and bred London but mostly south so Brixton, Southwark down to crystal palace Croydon but due yo family stuff became homeless around the age of 16 and squatted all over dalston, Clapton hackney during this time and it was as bad as everyone says I've got some stories people think are unbelievable but obvs are true lol
14:30 its so crazy to me that i saw this chase from the basement of the school on the left, petchey academy. Its insane seeing it from the police angel and knowing that the men i saw running from police when i was in year 10 were murders.
They actually used to call it Hackney Crackney because of so many drugs in the area. They should film the crackheads of Hackney they are full of them everywhere it's awful-another reason to get out.
just made a comment about this, I was at the cage a minute away when this happened. To think that could've been me.. to survive all this during its peak was truly a miracle

Bro ur just literally reading out articles with no coherence there’s no connections just spewing article pieces. Needs to be more coherent and adhesive
Even a Pulitzer Price winner would struggle to create something coherent out of this utter madness and stupidity. A country with a generous social security system, a sort of functioning NHS and a free education system. There just is no logical reason for these mindless murders.
I remember being in school 90 and early 00's in Hackney and those school fight were very mild but obviously they seemed like a big deal to us back then. I actually had no idea this modern day street war started from that. I think some of it kicked off because of boys robbing other boys in different schools.
I’ve lived in Hackney all my life and was born in Hackney hospital, I went to a senior school in Dalston, I have seen a very big difference in my 50 years and to be honest I would find it hard to move out but I am worried when I walk about, I’m now disabled so feel threatened. I have moved to many places in Hackney and always lived in the E9 area.
Once walked through the east end at night, after a West Ham game. It’s was one the scariest place I’ve ever been. Gangs of youths,young men hooded up most of them 6ft 3 plus ..The thoughts of what’s been shown in this in video was in my mind back then very unnerving and intimidating.Never would I do that again. No way .. come to think of probably not in the daytime either. Just not worth it.
these gangs are tough, i know a lot of them, real tough ppl, one gang member he fought another man for some chicken wings. Dont mess with them real deal.
As a local resident I have to say going home from school was not a joke back in the day 01-07 I thought it was normal till I discussed how other peoples rides home from school were 😂

Great video. Love the channel. Question: How many of these boys that commit these crimes do you think have a father in the house growing up? That's no diss. I really want to know what people think.
70% don't, and the 30% that do have our had wotless fathers who were a bad influence. All of these boys were let down first by their parents. Then the schools, then the system
I grew up without a father figure but knew this life wasn't for me. Street lights come on I'm going home. The issue is a number of things mostly pointing to a severe lack of positivity in their lives. But ultimately it's choice. Many choose to be gang members, many choose to kill or maim. This is nothing new, it's centuries old and will be going on long after we're all gone. Sad thing is most of these people are intelligent. It's gotta take brains to run operations, unfortunately they steer this energy into the wrong direction.
I’m from fields and even though I grew up with most of them I always stayed out the gang ting and stayed neutral to keep friendships from Pembury, Holly street and Homerton. Life’s too short to die over postcodes fam. Get your money and gone. Anyway shout out to Robin where ever you are ❤
14:40 i remember this I was in school when this happend RIGHT OUTSIDE MY SCHOOL AND I WAS WATCHING IT FROM LESSON from top floor in class and snapping it 😂😭😭😭😭

i thought this channel had me blocked, where the hell has it been? unless it's a copyright thing but I'm so glad you uploaded these videos, people in London act like these things don't exist like kids in these areas don't grow up with an actual fear for their lives, then they laugh at America like London is so much better London and America have similar problems and very similar structures, they want to say all the racism and poverty is in america no, it's not... there is racism and poverty in your back garden, you just refuse to acknowledge it
The Krays owned a nightclub in Hackney on Amhurst Rd which years later in the late 80's was a reggae/soul club owned by a guy i knew.

Bit older than you but was born and bought up in Hackney by old school Jamaican parents close to Stoke Newington.
Lived down the road from Gascoyne years later with an ex girlfriend.
Also my older brother was really good friends with a guy i got to know called Michael or Mike, big friendly guy from Tralee. My brother went over there and stayed with Mike and his family for a week and loved it. Kept telling me how Guiness is so much better in Ireland!
Very good- thanks! I’m ancient enough to have been in Clapton back in the early 90s…. Bringin back some intense memories!
14:42 it was during history class at Petchey Academy (the school on the left) that my friend was looking out the window, saw the crash, shouted and called the whole class over to then see a group of boys getting chased by the cops. It was the last lesson of the day and once the higher-ups were notified about what happened, nobody was allowed to go through Shacklewall Lane to go home as it was to dangerous. I had never seen nothing like it before and for years completely forgot this ever happened, almost everyone had to walk through Stoke Newington Road to get home. I was in year 7 when it happened, im now in my first year of college 😂 Thanks for reminding me about this. RIP to the kid.
You're a great writer btw.
A really good writer for real 😅
Best wishes in college
@@Gay-Icon i try 😅
@@NM-yg7kj Thanks, good luck to you too
'Never seen nothing like it' and using to instead of too is not good writing.
What's sad is all these areas used to par together I came from Clapton parred with stokey and square had bredrins in holly st and fields too. I could walk to all these areas and check my peoples. I'm 50 now and am saddened that areas my friends came from are now outta bounds how is this a thing? The ends is too small for all this !! Let's keep it real our parents all went Ridley market or mare street to shop how you gonna have opps on your doorstep? We need to do better 💯🙏
Especially fields and holly it’s literally the same postcode
@@dmmaz3903 its the length of shrubland Road half of Middleton Road and both areas are E8 you right!!
What? Say that in English.
Bredrin is that sone sort of bakers loaf?
Peoples? Kind of talk is that your grandparents came here to better their families they must be proud.
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bo lol the fact that you deduce a level of intellect and success to how one writes is funny to me, but we are all entitled to an option and this is yours. For the record I'm sure my grandparents are fine with how I've bettered my family.
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bowe don’t speak inbred sorry
Ayyyy much love United States South Carolina my guy been with you for years keeping going no matter what bubba 💯 you been working hard for years respect broski 💯🚫🧢
I have lived in East London and now North East London and Hackney has always been rough, I have never heard anyone refer to it any other way to until now? I don't know about the 60's/70's but in my life it has always had the rep it has! And I was expecting a documentary, not the bare essentials.
Good side to Hackney! Comedy gold
My dad lived in Hoxton where he was young and he (currently) works in the flat in Stamford Hill as he works for Hackney Homes, My uncle Darren lived in Shoreditch when he was young and he went to school there, My mum lived in Stamford Hill and over in Stoke Newington with her own house in the 80s and 90s and I was born in the hospital in Homerton in the late 90s before my family moved from Hackney to Walthamstow. Things change back in the day. Anyway great content mate. 👍
Hackney Homes is a former company that managed housing services on behalf of Hackney Council and ceased to operate about 8 years ago when housing services returned in-house to Hackney Council
Great video mate, I grew up in Homerton around Millfields road and Chatsworth road until the early 2000s, me and my mates were only little year 6s by the time I moved out so I only knew maybe 3 or 4 people who had experiences with street violence, but it was around all of us regardless, gun shots at night round clapton pond, kids bringing knives into primary school, seems it's got a lot worse now.
Top content as always
The worst thing is the amount of civilians that have died or been seriously injured in this probs couldn’t even make it in one video
100k subscribers! Congrats!
As an American I love ur videos man keep ‘em up💯💯
If they knew the plan they might stop killing each other. Guys need to love themselves and start owning their postcode. Yep buy properties. See the value shoot up 15 years down the line. Buying property means working and earning. It’s all doable. Have better plans in life. Doctors, architects, bankers, etc were born in Hackney… you can make out if you want to… that aside…hmm i would mention parenting… but well these guys are young adults…they have a choie. We all do. …. Let’s make the right choice and make plans for a prosperous future. One ❤️

Good content man

All of it is sad. Especially Joshua White and the other guy who were just totally innocent.
He was involved he had a tag he went by Packsta
@@TallestTrapstar he weren't involved lol he jumped off road in 016 if not earlier his attackers didn't even know him
I live near Hackney in Stepney. This just sounds so stupid to me. I know if I was caught up in this it would be my life. So I’m grateful to be on the outside observing the craziness unfold. Rather than being the statistic or part of the problem.
My grandparents lived in Bridge House in hackney from 1964 to 2007 (Homerton hight st. / Fenn St.) I think the location is actually briefly in this video at10:45 with bridge house now demolished and replaced. I spent a lot of time on the estate from 1980 - 2007 and it has always been a rough area, but only because of poverty. The sense of community was as strong as I have known anywhere in the UK, although the gentrification of the borough has probably atomised that.
Growing up in Homerton in the 90s during this time was interesting to say the least.
I lived in Ackney in the 80s...... Lower Clapton rd was named the murder mile.
I was born on that road! lol.. (Mothers Hospital). I specifically know some of those characters that got that stretch named, "murder mile", only most of them actually lived in Upper Clapton.
GOATED CONTENT RIGHT HERE 🔥
I LOVE HACKNEY ❤
I moved out from hackney to west london maida vale while neva revealing im from hackney....
funny guy🤣
Grew up in Manor House, on the Hackney/ Haringey border❤
Big up Kidnerd, always putting out bangers!
Big up KidNerd for sounding like he just injected a teenth of brown before starting to speak
@@BradleyBarnes-om2jv why you hating on my guy's voice? He speaks well, bro.
Dying for the streets ain't worth it! The devils deceiving these young man to think this "badman" life is cool! Well it isn't imagine dying without repentance! THESE young men need jesus in there life✝️✝️✝️
Jesus was the biggest gangbanger though, he rolled 12 man deep.
subbed. banging video
Im born and bred London but mostly south so Brixton, Southwark down to crystal palace Croydon but due yo family stuff became homeless around the age of 16 and squatted all over dalston, Clapton hackney during this time and it was as bad as everyone says I've got some stories people think are unbelievable but obvs are true lol
14:30 its so crazy to me that i saw this chase from the basement of the school on the left, petchey academy. Its insane seeing it from the police angel and knowing that the men i saw running from police when i was in year 10 were murders.
Incredible channel as always would love more videos keep it up bro
Good journalism a few inaccuracies but definitely more accurate than any major media outlet.
Fab video thanks
hackney’s been about in the drill since 016/17 with OMH, 16stokey, homerton 11:35
14:42 I actually saw the crash in class through the window never knew it was related to this
Yeah holly street and fields beef started way back with the 4 original tower block's..in the 80's
Extremely honoured to be blessed with the surname 😌🤝
They actually used to call it Hackney Crackney because of so many drugs in the area. They should film the crackheads of Hackney they are full of them everywhere it's awful-another reason to get out.
You need to make a seperate on Hackney vs Tottenham beef. Its too detailed to squeeze into this one video
4:17 they were in Trelawney Estate not Fields.
just made a comment about this, I was at the cage a minute away when this happened. To think that could've been me.. to survive all this during its peak was truly a miracle
@@minge9 the rumour at the time was fields yutes were chasing him
That's defo Trewlaney estate next to the big Tesco's on Morning Lane. Used to live there back in the day and that area is all Homerton man.
i used to live in hackney, moved to guildford because my mum got robbed there.
We need that Manor Park vs Ilford one
I always look forward to your high quality productions and pleasant narrating voice Kid Nerd! I hope you at least double your subscriber amount this year.
And as a last note I would encourage you to take as much time as you want when producing your videos, I much prefer quality over rushed productions to meet a certain quota.
Cheers!
You said it. Kid Nerd takes his time and ALWAYS delivers a banger. One of the most consistently good creators
Pleasant!?
@tommywozza4626 sounds like someone with a slight brain injury or a 5 year old reading a book but in a teenagers voice.
the british swamp stories 💀
Bro ur just literally reading out articles with no coherence there’s no connections just spewing article pieces. Needs to be more coherent and adhesive
The way he speaks as well, I could rail a 3.5 of pure and this guys voice would still send me to sleep
Bmt this guy is actually a nerd I guess it’s in his name smh
Even a Pulitzer Price winner would struggle to create something coherent out of this utter madness and stupidity. A country with a generous social security system, a sort of functioning NHS and a free education system. There just is no logical reason for these mindless murders.
coherence? it's about picking sides and who got murdered. not hard to understand
yeah it's shit.
I grew up in hackney in the slums always been a hard area murder mile etc nothing changes ❤
This Guy has to upload more
This video doesn't even cover 1% of the beef in Hackney.
Word 💯
I remember being in school 90 and early 00's in Hackney and those school fight were very mild but obviously they seemed like a big deal to us back then. I actually had no idea this modern day street war started from that. I think some of it kicked off because of boys robbing other boys in different schools.
Certain schools in Hackney didn’t get along with each other fights etc created animosity
Kingsland ❤
@@Mr-DowNBeateverything went up a notch in mid 2000s. Hackney were beefing schools in fucking Islington too, it was tragic
Top content as always, needs to be more consistency with the time between videos released though
I’ve lived in Hackney all my life and was born in Hackney hospital, I went to a senior school in Dalston, I have seen a very big difference in my 50 years and to be honest I would find it hard to move out but I am worried when I walk about, I’m now disabled so feel threatened. I have moved to many places in Hackney and always lived in the E9 area.
I’m white Welsh. I lived in Tottenham in the mid 80’s. It was totally cool bro.
The Welsh are white. You wouldn’t say black Nigerian
searching for a better life end up in Hackney. life is harsh
15:10 bro really rapping outside a GP lol😂
Hackney for life
I think the problem is the upbringing of the children, why is it that the majority of these gang members are off black ethnicity ?
Once walked through the east end at night, after a West Ham game. It’s was one the scariest place I’ve ever been. Gangs of youths,young men hooded up most of them 6ft 3 plus ..The thoughts of what’s been shown in this in video was in my mind back then very unnerving and intimidating.Never would I do that again. No way .. come to think of probably not in the daytime either. Just not worth it.
I see you described them but ignored race… says it all
Gangs in the area need to squash the beef and make money
the intro dis guy smokin food lol😂 we still in london g
these gangs are tough, i know a lot of them, real tough ppl, one gang member he fought another man for some chicken wings. Dont mess with them real deal.
Sounds like the same thing that happen in Africa
that photo of Unknown T is cold
As a local resident I have to say going home from school was not a joke back in the day 01-07 I thought it was normal till I discussed how other peoples rides home from school
were 😂
It wasn’t spoken about at the time but the anxiety we suffered wasn’t normal. It is crazy to think what we internalised at the time.
good video
Despite making up only 13% of London's total population, black Londoners account for 45% of London's knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators and 53% of knife crime perpetrators
It's in there blood blm don't matter anymore ig
It’s white peoples fault
where is the 90s video cam footage from? thanks
Unknown t is sick
12:54 for a sec i thought that was chunkz lol
Brodie you have mad people who wanna watch urt content and u selling so bad posting every 5 months , dont ruin ur momentum bro start uploading dawg
Yh unfortunately it’s a tough one for creators, you don’t wanna make needless forgettable content and you don’t wanna lower your quality but the algorithm demands consistency for you to be supported by the algorithm 🫠
@kid need can you do Islington next
Great video. Love the channel.
Question: How many of these boys that commit these crimes do you think have a father in the house growing up?
That's no diss. I really want to know what people think.
You’d be surprised, sometimes having a father of the wrong influence is worse than not having one at all
@@ld2190 very true
kids don't have fathers all over the world, doesn't just make a knife crime epidemic
70% don't, and the 30% that do have our had wotless fathers who were a bad influence. All of these boys were let down first by their parents. Then the schools, then the system
I grew up without a father figure but knew this life wasn't for me. Street lights come on I'm going home. The issue is a number of things mostly pointing to a severe lack of positivity in their lives. But ultimately it's choice. Many choose to be gang members, many choose to kill or maim. This is nothing new, it's centuries old and will be going on long after we're all gone. Sad thing is most of these people are intelligent. It's gotta take brains to run operations, unfortunately they steer this energy into the wrong direction.
I’m from fields and even though I grew up with most of them I always stayed out the gang ting and stayed neutral to keep friendships from Pembury, Holly street and Homerton. Life’s too short to die over postcodes fam. Get your money and gone.
Anyway shout out to Robin where ever you are ❤
If ya talking about Robin from holly he was cool with Fields mandem like JD
@@OP-er9tm yh man robin is a real one from day.
@@ezekielx7536i always heard about Gweton and Robin but i use to think them strories were gassed mad
@@noisey3596 nah bro Robin is a real guy and humble. He even published a book. No1 can say bad words about that guy.
Latts got locked up too lets not forget 😅
14:40 i remember this I was in school when this happend RIGHT OUTSIDE MY SCHOOL AND I WAS WATCHING IT FROM LESSON from top floor in class and snapping it 😂😭😭😭😭
What about Hoxton and Fellows court
Love Hackney or crackney
Spent 2014-2019 in east londinium, hackney,whitechapel, london fields, angel and finally bricklane. Guess I missed out on sum bullshit cos I walked in all hoods juss fine....
Miss ol smoke, but its a nice place to visit. You just dont want to live there.
i thought this channel had me blocked, where the hell has it been? unless it's a copyright thing
but I'm so glad you uploaded these videos, people in London act like these things don't exist
like kids in these areas don't grow up with an actual fear for their lives, then they laugh at America like London is so much better
London and America have similar problems and very similar structures, they want to say all the racism and poverty is in america
no, it's not... there is racism and poverty in your back garden, you just refuse to acknowledge it
If a channel blocks you, it only blocks you from commenting on the videos💯
I socialize in hackney & bow
Although the Krays did frequent Hackney, they lived in Vallance Road in Tower Hamlets.
The Krays owned a nightclub in Hackney on Amhurst Rd which years later in the late 80's was a reggae/soul club owned by a guy i knew.
Krays also stabbed to death someone at a house party around the corner from the club on Evering Rd in Stoke Newington. I was born and bought up in this area of Hackney.
The Krays were prominent and had a few business interests in Hackney as well because it's next door to their turf of Bethnal Green, Whitechapel etc.
Why can’t we all love one another
Don’t work like that bro
Need more yoot clubs innit
3:09 I always thought that was a quiet street
to my jesusa with love.
