You get the impression do you ? From your extensive experience ? Does being an old fuker make you the authority on the issue ?
Do you even live in a major city Notch ? I thought you lived in some hollowed out little back-water town in the middle of no where ? I do love it when country bumpkins moralise about big city crime, like you have a fuking clue what you're talking about.
Im wondering what additional insight living in London makes.........
I suppose you must get stop n searched every morning, then every lunchtime you meet with community leaders to discuss the issues, then in the afternonn talk to many black teenagers that experience stop n search. In the evening I expect you meet up with ex gang members and leaders to discuss solutions.
