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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
