Now I am willing to bet..... only black people were involved in this.

(I haven't read the article)

Anybody agree?


Also note: "Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.", yet for other crimes which have just happened they do allow comments. They always post this when a person is stabbed in London because the whole country knows the description of the assailant.

So when will we stamp out this black culture? How do you stamp it out?

Such an obvious troll, do you not find it sad that somebody died?

Actually they did allow comments, up until the suspects were arrested. Then they blocked the comments facility because it could hinder the investigation.

Was there last night, very creepy when its empty, massive sections are shut off and the only people you see are police in forensic suits. Very sad

[lilangel890]

This is scary. I literally left 30mins before this happened.
Eurgh.

Welcome to London. Enjoy the Olympics.

I was actually at Westfield Stratford when this happened. I didn't personally see anything because I was on the other side of the shopping centre and it's a pretty huge place but I honestly wouldn't make that assumption. I'd say gangs are made up of a mixture of races in that area.

ffs,
not surprised it was the stratford one -_-
OP youre silly for assuming that.

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

Scary. I was in Stratford just yesterday, though not in Westfield but walked passed it on the tube station side, and I've been in that shopping centre a few times before. It's just really sad to hear this, that people are continuing to carry knives and attack each other like this

Stabbing people in the middle of an area which must be flooded with CCTV is pretty retarded, only a matter of time till they are arrested

The people who commit these crimes don't care though. The youths involved in this gang violence feel they have nothing to loose, they know they aren't ever going to have a 9 to 5.

Its all a continuation of long running feud between rival gangs, and the worst that can happen from the attackers view is that they get arrested and get put in prison and ride their sentence with their fellow gang members.

It's just a on going circle, the gang members probably have children already. These children will grow up fatherless, just like their fathers and will follow in their footsteps.

It will continue until something drastic is done.

Good point. It's stories like this that make me think that maybe the death penalty should return in this country, if only to act as a stronger deterrent against abhorrent crimes like this.

EDIT: This was just a spur of the moment comment, which I don't totally agree with now that I've had a conversation with other people about it. Sorry if I have offended anyone!

I really, really think you missed the point.

what gives the state the right to determine who lives and who dies? The death penalty is abhorrent and should never come back to Britain.

Lets be honest, if you're going to murder somebody in the daytime in a shopping centre filled with security cameras, you don't care about deterrents.

What point? Forgive me for I am actually quite tired right now

It was just an idea. I suppose it might not be the best, but something really needs to be done to stop innocent people getting hurt like this.

I admit I don't really know how criminals think, but maybe some will care if they know they're gonna lose their own lives permanently rather than just spend a few decades in jail.

a bad idea - killing people is not the way forward. If we end up with a state where we kill the killers, we're no better than they are! If the UK ever brings back the death penalty i'm emigrating to a more civilised place

Fair play I suppose, I think the death penalty is quite a tricky topic personally - I'm not in favor but I can see why people think its a good idea. Personally my main issue with it is executing innocent people by accident (which has happened quite a bit in the past).

OK. Let me make it clearer that I am a bit on the fence about the death penalty, in that I can see the advantages and disadvantages for it. I think I just wrote that initial comment as a spur of the moment, in that I'm angry about these crimes happening and something really needs to be done to sort it out, whether that's the death penalty or hopefully something better.

That said, it's interesting how in another thread so many people were in congratulating the father who killed his daughter's rapist (albeit by accident, but still)
