Britain
18 yr old black youth worker gunned down on London street
2007-08-07
Read this one to judge just where London is trending these days. The young man rose from the inner city to become not only a very talented equestrian but also a youth worker mediating on tough streets. Key sentence:

Nathan is the 17th teenager to be murdered in London this year.

#4  Yes they are, unfortunately. Once again the saying "when you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns" is proven true.

CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSE, Britain. Get a f*ckin clue.

#3  How could this possibly happen in London? Guns are illegal in all of the UK.

#2  To Newark, NJ? Londoners come off as slackers.

But of interest here is not the level (quite low by most standards) but rather the British author's sense that this was a worsening trend. And the killing was brazen in execution.
