Well well well, very sad to see this as a hackney resident
It’s like living in prohibition mafia days
Can we get with the fucking program and legalise drugs and get rid of cash laundering please
It’s 2026 for christ sake I should be paying for everything with my phone and legalised and regulated dispensaries should be in all those places of vape shops and american sweet stores
When all is said and done I guarantee the perpetrators were well known to police and I will be willing to bet they had previous convictions/outcomes for violent offences or offences backed by violence I.e robbery.
I say this because I guarantee they were given a soft touch for those crimes and as such were free to take a life.
The current approach to youth justice is based with good intentions, don’t write off someone’s whole life for one poor choice, but it needs a whole separate paradigm for those where it isn’t “one mistake” and where there is a clear pattern of escalating or continuous criminality.
It shouldn’t be the current system where you can steal over 30 cars between 14 -17 and never see a cell but the moment you turn 18 you’re the worlds easiest remand candidate, if meaningful consequences are applied before that point it might be 5 cars stolen, or in this case someone might still be alive.

I try to take a very liberal, very balanced view of crime and punishment. But living in London has strained that
When I lived in Stratford, it seemed like every year a teenager or two would get shanked outside the big McDonald’s at the crap shopping mall. Usually over some ridiculous gang nonsense
Hackney seems like it’s about to boil over into chaos every summer
Clapham had a riot in March, it just wasn’t so-called.
Lower level crimes are being de-facto decriminalised because there isn’t the capacity to actually prosecute them
And I am tired of people excusing all this, arguing the police are too heavy-handed, endlessly trotting out feel good narratives about how The Kids Are Alright etc etc.
The police need the funding and support to actually stop this shit. Anybody carrying an offensive blade needs to spend a long long time in a small small room.
They’ll have a massive wrap list and be well known. It’s about these idiots we’re locked up first time and if they are that dangerous, life it should be. Sick of the same stories
