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.

“We can’t punish them harshly because we don’t want to ruin their adult lives!” F it. I don’t care, they can all rot in jail till they turn old and grey I don’t give a fuck if they’re only teenagers. So sick and tired of these violent animals just being routinely unleashed on the population whenever they commit a crime until it escelates to something horrific like this.

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.
The state and police force seem to be losing control. And I am tired of people excusing 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.

Horrific stories every day now, it’s getting out of control.

“Detectives are working to formally identify the victim, who the Met said was a teenager but did not give an exact age, and tell his family.”
Am I super tired or does that last bit not make sense?
