Its not a world problem its our UK problem. We live here and our politicians should protect us. Our elected politicians are grossly failing in their elected duties. No wonder so many British citizens are leaving to live abroad. The UK is now a revolving door with the unwanted entering whilst the civilised, educated are leaving. We have an increasing number of persons unwilling to follow UK law and order. The government has lost the plot and the police have lost control. The result is seen on the streets of most UK cities where unsocial behaviour and drunkeness has become the norm of UK society.
The rush to leave the UK gaining momentum and they take their values and cash out the country. Within the next two years I hope to be out the door!.

The erosion of this country started when some idiot politicians decided that 'Children have rights' and 'discipline' meant 'abuse'. Now Parents, Teachers, Police etc have no 'right to punish' the poor little darlings! The kids aren't learning anything about 'responsibility' or 'respect' All they are learning is " I want it! I will get it! and sod the consequences (which are just a minor inconvenience anyway!"
I hope I never have Grandchildren, I don't think I'd sleep at night worrying about what might happen!
To TE-QUIERO who said, "What was an 11yr old boy doing out at 7pm on a wet evening?" Come on, I'd expect an 11yr old to be out at that hour especially during the holidays! and since when did a spot of rain stop a football match. READ the REPORT!!!!! and stop BLAMING the VICTIM!

But this couldn't have happened in the UK. Remember? the UK has strict gun control, so no guns are allowed. No one can get shot in the UK. At least that's what everyone keeps going on about. Even though violent crimes have sky rocketed since stricter gun control has been imposed. ( not my opinion, check the facts, violent crime statistics prove it)
That a child was killed is in excusable. Gun control or not. These animals that prey on the innocent should be permanently removed from society. Better yet, turn them over to the families of the victims for a few hours first, then if anything is left, lock em away forever, or impose a death sentence. When is someone gonna get the "manhood" to stand up, say "no more" and do something about it. Remove these animals from society, tell the aclu or any other organization to shut the heck up and find something else to fight over.
Just my 2 cents worth.

To the gentleman who thinks this is a UK problem and not a world problem - well sir let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of Baltimore, Basra, Mogadishu ....
Your belief that the this country is being populated by scum while the geniuses leave is one of the most idiotic things I have heard in a long long time.
If people bothered to absorb the true facts regarding violent crime levels in this country instead of getting their knickers in a knot over anything the tabloids spew up then this country would be a far happier place to live in. And as for all of the rats jumping ship - good riddance. True patriots would stay and do everything to make this country better instead of whingeing and bitching and moaning and contributing nothing.

with this latest event and the killing of a man simply telling vandals to stop, no effective policing (remember them).
Welcome to Dystopia.
If the police would get out there and stop relying on CCTV, give them back some power to bash heads or how about this...
Rather than Talking CCTV get a tranquiliser gun attached to them and shoot the sods - just send the meat wagon round to pick them up.
I'll probably get a few remarks about how the Police are undermanned and overworked - hey you've just answered your own problem - Cut the red tape, cut the reams of paperwork, stop relying on CCTV, recruit more police that criminals can be scared of - not wee boys! get out there and start slapping a few of these wee gits about a bit.
When did policing change from crime prevention to crime observation?
It worked in the past and will again whatever happened to the short sharp shock?
Strange how easy it can be to adopt right wing beliefs to defend left wing standards
Oh man now you've started me - I'm going to have a go at the NHS management next!

Well I am hoping to get away from it all at the seaside - I just about remember the mods and rockers of the 50s and 60s and my Father having the answer to that - National Service and the birch -but now it comes down to eleven-year-olds being shot dead perhaps it is too late even for that to have an effect.
I have heared that two teenagers have been arrested - if guilty they will probably be sent on a safari as "punishment".
Oh well - here's hoping that I can get away from it all and we don't have any Bank Holiday violence from yobs where I'm going.

The problem (well, one of them) is that the kids know that if their parents lay a finger on them, even just taking them by the arm and dragging them home, they can call social services or whatever and the parents find themselves in trouble with the law themselves. Surely a short sharp shock from Mum and Dad is better than someone, usually an innocent, being shot or stabbed?

Parents MUST be made accountable for their childrens actions. Too much of the 'Nanny state' going on these days. Kids know more about the law than adults and get away with too much because there just isn't the same level of responsibility being shown by parents as used to be, with the result that a minority of kids are running wild. Fings really ain't wot they used to be!

This summer, kids seem to have been worse than ever before. Shootings, beatings, throwing concrete blocks at train drivers, demolishing buildings, chopping down a wood with chainsaws - I'm not making it up, it's all from the local papers in the last few weeks. Time for zero tolerance and time to stop treating them with kid gloves.

Lack of discipline in the home and in schools. Police unable to police. Political correctness gone nuts, racism and terrorism. I can only see things getting worse. The world is a very dangerous place to be right now.
