Allah yarxamu

 

I read about this on the train heading for the airport! There must have been 3 or 4 teenage deaths due to stabbings and this one a gun shot over the past week in the UK. Kids just don't give a damn anymore and feel like its normal to carry a knife.

 

I actually saw someone getting beaten up on the street in Stratford!

alaaxu ha unaxariisto laakin no sorry for this criminal for being dead as so deserves the one who killed to be dead too. I mean why should we feel pity for this criminals and even better they're much better in cancelling themselves out then the authorities so thats public service for value with no cost to the state! and for the guy selling drugs in our 'somali' communities makes it even worse cuz its your brother or sister or cousin he's teching/selling drugs to and re-offending which only proves the guy didnt have any remourse for the crime in the past so god work fellas keep on 'cancelling' each other out you are so not wanted in our streets or neighbourhoods!

^^You're going over the top don't you think?

 

The kid was 17. He made mistakes but let not wish death on all those who make mistakes shall we?

The kid died at my area. In this case i blame the parents. Parents are never at home to look after the kids. Still, he was just naive kid. He never had support at home. The saddest part: There are thousands like him.
