i think that this story's run it's course - the person issuing the leaflets was a disgruntled witness

in relation to this thread, i agree with those saying the speculation and generalisation shouldn't be in this thread - a young man has been killed and for me this thread/this time in the immediate aftermath is a time to express condolences and for reflection, not for blaming parents/hip hop/sainsburys


for anyone closely effected, you have my sincerest sympathy - it must be terrible

Where have I mentioned the word black Kate?


The young man murdered on Saturday morning is the thrid young person to be murdered in the capital this year. I'd say that is a problem that needs to be addressed. It is quite clear that the people involved (whatever the cause of events) were a) young and b) carrying weapons including a gun.


So any discussion around those issues is relevant to this thread. Pretending that there might be some other less horrifying scenario to all this is just burying a head in the sand.


We should absolutely be asking why are some of our kid's so out of control and devoid of compassion that they see fit to carry knives, guns and be ready to use them to their end means?

Just for the record it has been reported in the press

that the victim was in fact a black male.

I agree with DJKQ on this, we cannot bury are head in the sand I cannot speak in regards to the parents on this particular case but through my experience working in this area there are some parents who cannot cope don?t care or even afraid of there children. I worked with mentors that have tried to turn young men mainly black men lives around and there has been a few success rates a neighbour of mine I knew a few years ago had trouble with two of her sons and she was at the end of her tether.


I advised her to contact Boys to Men which is a group that helps troubled young boys her son attended the group regularly and he turn his life a round and now he is a mentor for other young men unfortunately for her other son he was shot dead only because he was in the wrong area at the wrong time and he was not Semalin.

A 13 year old with a gun. What the f**king f**k!?!?!?


Reading that has made me really sad about the killing of Daniel Thompson-Graham. He must have been so bloody scared, no one deserves for their last moments on this earth to be filled with fear like that. Why did he have to get off the 176 that he'd jumped on to I wonder?


It's like it's all just a game to them, and I'm not sure zero tolerance would stop it, because I just don't think they give a second thought to consequences.

Dear oh dear, same blinkered people on here saying its London aint it we should expect it. Its happens because you allow it to happen. There was a man shot in daylight in ED not so long ago!! The things dont happen in Chelsea or Wimbledon - and they are in London.


Until we start being honest and direct without fear of being labeled discrimination then its only goin got get worse. The good thing here is that they seem to only shoot each other.


I liveed in ED for nearly 7 years, I felt more and more intimidated as tiem went on especially at night. The fianl straw was a group of lads literally kicking the front door in, at my flat when they thought no one was in with my wife asleep in bed.


Thankfully we bought a house Sevenoaks instead of climbing the ladder in ED - totally different area and so much nicer




It is sad that the person is so young.

The things dont happen in Chelsea or Wimbledon - and they are in London.


Utter nonsense.


Of course the rate of knife crime is higher in the less well off areas, and you've just chosen 2 very well off areas. However, a very quick google search will give you plenty of stories of knife crime in both Wimbledon and Chelsea.

Thankfully indeed.

For goodness sake, one person is dead and others injured, including a 14 year old (My kids are 9 and 12 and it bloody scares me). What do you mean 'they only shoot eachother' - they are all someone's son (or daughter).

It will be something insane like he didn't have the right change or an oyster and was asked to get off by the driver.

Agree!


TJ, I also wondered if it was something like that, or the driver saw the group chasing, and didn't want trouble on the bus. Still, we don't know, and I don't want to be unfair to the driver, who may have had nothing to do with it.

I agree with 3 little pigs, it is someone ones daughter or son and sometime the person is killed for defending a sibling or mistaken identity to say the good thing here is that they seem to only shoot each other is silly this can happen to anyone not all gun crimes is gang related.

Ok so your all going its terrible - what are th solutions then!!! Or was this just a big shock!! Lets all send sympathy and agreeing messages to each other - that will prevent it.


They shoot each other refers to gang v gang violence - or is that a myth as well?

I have to defend hislordshiplane....


I think he could have said it a lot better, but


The gang crime that goes on in South London (if this incident is an of gang crime, which seems to be the assumption on the information there is), rarely affects innocent people. It would have been highly frightening to have been in the area when it was going on, but the liklihood of being hurt yourself would have been minimal if you had no affinity to either groups involved. At the end of the day, most gang crime that goes on, effects only other gang members, and as harsh as it may sound, i am glad about that. When it is the norm, that gangs just go round randonly killing people (alla clockwork orange) is the time to move out of East Dulwich. Before then, I dont think 'ordinary people' have too much to worry about

You can't make assumptions, just because someone was at a birthday party doesn't make them a member of a gang! As I said earlier, my kids are heading towards their teens and in two or three years it could be them at a similar party, bullets and knives can affect all young people, regardless of whether they are in a gang or not.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
