headlines like this piss me off tbh. This is how the media actually fanned the fire of gangswith their bunching of simple teenagers hanging out causing SOME trouble, to become organised into giving themselves a name and doing similar to what those others in said postcode did

Young criminals are increasingly ready to use firearms after a perceived slight to their reputation. One aspect of the "chaotic" new trend is that they shoot to injure rather than kill, aiming at the victim's legs and leaving their rivals with "war wounds".The number of these shootings now stands at 72, more than double the total for last year. Commander Martin Hewitt said the propensity to use "extreme levels of violence for seemingly very little reason" was a new phenomenon.He said that when Operation Trident began investigating gun crime in the black community most shootings were an "offshoot" of criminal activity.
