Yeah. That one.

[MadWorld74]

Bloody hell.

[MadWorld74]

Can I ask what time it happened, does anyone know?

[MadWorld74]

forget that I've worked it out for myself! bloody hell and again, bloody hell. What's going on in ED? Some can take the piss and say that with the White Stuff rant going on on the other channel, Ed has lost it's 'edginess', but this is ridiculous!

[Jah Lush]

It's nothing to do with edginess, this sort of thing goes on in the Village as well and I'd hard call that edgy would you?

[MadWorld74]

the thing is Jah Lush that we have become so conditioned and de-sensitized to guns and their presence in our society, that something like this happens and people take no notice. Guns should not be part of any society unless you live up in the Glens/Dales and hunt for a living. There have been loads of hold ups recently and people?s responses have generally been "oh well". No, sorry, it's wrong.

obviously it's wrong and the response has been to call the police whose job it is to deal with criminals - what else do you want people to do?

[Jah Lush]

Well, I'm certainly not saying "oh well". I think its f**king outrageous. No way have I become de-sensitized to it. Too many cowardly little shits walking around with guns and knives thinking they're some sorta big gangsta bwoy stabbing up and killing each other. Stop the violence.

[MadWorld74]

pk to actually seem to care. Sure the police do their jobs, but where's the community spirit? When you have a kid waving a gun about in a bloody video shop, and it gets classed as not really 'edgy', then it's time to get the hell out.

[Mark]

you're never more than 6 feet away from a gun crime in London, or something like that

[MadWorld74]

I thought that was used about rats......

[mockney piers]

Armed rats MadWorld. Pigeons tend to go for flick-knives.

[Mark]

...gun crime, rats, mice they're all not very nice. Anyway, I think we all agree that gun crime is bad, hold ups in video shops are wrong and we're glad no-one was hurt in the incident and the perpetrator was caught. Happy ending (so far).

[Brendan]

You can always stop the violence buy killing the violent. Not very nice but I guarantee it will work.

[Mark]

and as the rapper Fur Q once said, you gotta shoot people to get respect from people but you can't shoot all the people because then there'll be no-one left to respect you.

and anyone who can use phil collins as an inspiration for a song like Uzi Lover definitely knows what they're talking about

[Jeremy]

Yes, the old shootings/respect debate... one of the great conundrums of our time.

[MadWorld74]

I just marvel at how no one bloody noticed the shop was being held up. I was in the vid shop using the tinter and I didn't see anything. How on earth do you rob a place with a gun and let it go un-noticed????

[Mark]

it's because robbers don't actually walk in places shouting "everyone get down this is a robbery, move and I'll shoot your face off", they walk up to the counter and quietly say something like "give me all your money, act calmly and don't act raise the alarm because I have a gun". No-one else in the shop will know.

[MadWorld74]

you sound very familiar with this sort of operation Mark.....got something to share with us? ;-)

[*Bob*]

You seem to know an awful lot 'bout the robbing game, Mark.

Should we be checking under your bed for striped jersey / cosh etc?

[MadWorld74]

I still can't belive they held up a video shop.

I've only lived in ED for a little over a year....but it seems a frequent occurance...hold ups in the area...?

[mockney piers]

I do love the irony of someone getting a gun in order to be a man and get some respeck, and then go and hold up a video store for 70 quid, for which he could (but probably won't) go down for about 25 years.

Big AND clever I think you'll agree.

[MadWorld74]

how do you know he got ?70...hmmmm you and Mark seem to have alot of info about this hold up.....where were you both on the day of the incident?

[fractionater]

Where is the deterrent for kids carrying guns?

You know what I think they should do - Bring back National service for these young offenders!

And if these bad bwoys want to go shooting people up - then send them out to Iraq or Afganistan and let them shoot away on the front lines to their hearts content....and know what its like to be shot back at by a real enemy who isn't scared to 'dis 'em!
