Gang culture is vile
IT WAS terrible to read about the teenage boy Lewis O'Brien who was shot dead recently in Huyton, near Liverpool. - 02/02/10
Apparently the 17-year-old was shot dead in a house on an estate in the area, and was pronounced dead by the time they got him to hospital.
If I lived in the area I would petrified – what is the world coming to when young men with their whole lives ahead of them waste it all in gangs, shooting and stabbing each other?!
Detective Chief Inspector Carr who is heading up the investigation said, “There is no place for guns on the streets of Merseyside” – there is no place for guns on any street.
It makes me terribly worried about the future of my grandchildren. Is it a postcode lottery whether they’ll end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, or worse get convinced to join a gang themselves?
Whatever this country is doing to stop the spread of gang culture, it’s not working.
