Teenage boy shot dead in broad daylight in London

In his manifesto he promised to tackle knife crime though.. all politicians get attacked (policy wise) daily, Sadiq is nothing special.

You say this like you know him personally?

And I lived in inner city London. So I know about the lifestyle. And most choose the gang life. Because it makes them look cool or whatever.

No, im talking about proportions vs responsibility. Theresa May has a lot more responsibility, especially considering this crime rise began before Sadiq came in as mayor. A mayor also cannot do much since its a largely strategic job. I always see attacks by right wing idiots about out muslims mayor and "sadiq khant" because these people dont understand politics.

If crime rates go up in London, the first port of call for blame will go to the mayor of London. It would be exactly the same if we had a Conservative mayor.

But as mayor, Khan does assume the equivalent of police commissioner which means he oversees a lot of police activity and has a significant hand in how resources are distributed to the police force. Now instead he’d prefer knife bins without really tackling the rising crime rate in London in general ( acid attacks, rapes are some of the crimes on the rise).
I’m sure some on both sides of the spectrum care about his religious beliefs, and I am sure more on the right would be vocal about it because well Sadiq Khan is a Labour Politician but that shouldn’t detract from a large amount of criticism being given perhaps because Khan hasn’t overseen a great transformation of London since he entered office...

Erm no. He's not the commissioner at all, he merely oversees it. When it comes to police funding for example, he's got little power. It's actually Theresa May's position as home secretary that led to heavy police cuts.

Sadiq Khan has been pushing for more stop and search for example.

So what. He still chose to be part of that lifestyle. He knew the consequences that came with following such a path. It's his own fault.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.





no one deserves to be killed in cold blood, and it is not nice for you to sit and judge him. that is a young life lost. put some respect to him.


Do better

No. I refuse to give any respect to those who involve themselves in gang culture.

someone is dead, a young man lost. whether or not you know of his situation or whether he was actually involved in gang-related activity, he deserves respect as a human.

gangs may hurt our society but it is the negative behaviour from members of society that really damages our society.

Does that make you feel powerful? GB was not even 18, and not like other gang members. He fell into it because of where he was brought up but focused in school and aspired to be an architect.

It's so easy to just throw around a lack of sympathy online towards situations you have 0 knowledge or experience of. It's just ignorant, cold and pathetic. There is a family mourning today, and a young life lost and all you can focus on is the fact he was involved in a gang. I get what you mean and yeah gangs aren't great for society but GB wasn't like the rest. He was a family man and had aspirations outside Brandon Estate.

RIP Rhyhiem 1999-2018

Oh come on. I hear the very same platitudes being said after almost every gang related killing. "He was a good boy. Didn't do nothing wrong. Just fell in with a bad crowd. Trying to turn his life around..." etc etc. I've heard it all so often it's increasingly difficult to take any of it seriously.

The worst thing about this is that it's bound to get worse now that GB is gone as Moscow have to ride out for him. Summer 2018 is due to be a deadly one.

I wouldn't say it was all his fault, teenagers have been bought up differently in todays society and a majority get into gangs and it's hard to leave when you are already in. Regardless it was bad decision to make but there may have been a reason or something. Whatever you think towards his death, he still needs respect and sympathy, no-one deserves to die like that.

M17, Moscow, E17

Tell me more details about London gangs young urban London people

Gangs have been around for decades lol it's not new
