Such a sad story, and yet another innocent young lad dies, a victim of gang warfare, it would seem.

Incidentally this tragic story was second in LBC radio news list of headlines, the top of the list?
Boris Johnston's views on the Burqa.

I'd say Dodge needs cleaning up urgently.

This is beyond horrific.

Something has to be done, but who has the backbone to do it?

so tragic and unnecessary...

Unfortunately this seems to happen a lot nowadays. ..tragedy..

Strange that we have not heard cries from the left, yelling "if these killings had been white on white killings, then something would be done".

And why haven't the black community took to the streets in protest, demanding action?

RIP Joel - an innocent caught up in the anger of others.

"And why haven't the black community took to the streets in protest, demanding action?"

Protests generally come from the Police on one side who the locals perceive have done wrong. The Police are not likely to retaliate, apart from a bit of kettling whereas this lot, whoever they are undoubtedly will retaliate with horrific consequences. So perhaps that is why?

Yes such a tragic shame and this little lad wanted to be a fireman.
