Aspiring boxer...close enough.
I can't find a link for the knife though there is a picture of him making an apparent gun sign.
Edit found it in the BBC articles:
Admittedly I keep a swiss army knife in my car, but not on me.
Here we go again!! Another knife attack.

Yes it was so much better when it was just white people killing, beating and stabbing other people.
Honestly, falsely accusing someone of racism and then coming out with stuff like this. Unbelievable.
He was being racist, I never said I wasn't so what's your point chump?
Don't think we ever had a knife problem in the past either, Only old Jack.

I believe that it is 16.
Jayden's young features masked by a black scarf, fingers raised in the sign pf a gun while sitting on his moped, the facebook photo shows the latest victim of London's street violence.
He had no links to crime, nor did he belong in a gang.
He was born in East London but had been sent to live with his Godmother on Nottingham because of concerns about his behaviour.
His father Julian lives in Jamaica.
He knew 16-year old Amaan Shakoor who was shot dead last April.
A 48-year old mechanic who lived near him "Tried to get him off the street, tried to get him to go to school".
He described himself as a "Trapper kid" - urban slang for a drug dealer - with a picture of him clutching a wad of £50 and £20 notes.
However, "He was kind, helpful, very funny and generous. He had respect. He was fun and playful. He cared about others. He had a huge heart."
The phrase "I come to bury Jayden Moodie, not to praise him." springs to mind.

Then you are ignoring history. Scotland, Manchester, Liverpool. Krays, Richardsons, Adams. It's a bit like most employed people in history. There are more people now and very many more poor people. Although being poor isnt a prerequisite for violence or crime. And neither is colour or race.

It's funny reading this as it's always the same. One group of people believes blame can be broken down to external factors, society, culture etc. whilst the other group seems to beleive more in personal resonsibility above all else.
I honestly don't know where I fall between the two. On the one hand I was raised in a stable home and generally have no complaints about things so was unlikely to fall into any serious crime. Whilst people that find themselves in gangs were almost destined to end up there with everything stacked against them, lack of a father, role models, any real oportunity etc.
If we had been young men in 1940s Germany we too would have been Nazis. Probably....

Grow up it's an expression obviously not meant literally.

Agreed. Don't know why Stockhausen tried to make a thing of it really.
You are probably right, we are all products of our environment and likely would have been part of the Nazi Youth in that situation.

Because I don't think that knife crime (anywhere) can ever be described as "funny"?

I'm surprised this needs clearing up as I thought it was quite obvious that the "funny" I was referring to was the discussion between two opposing groups and not that I find the death of children amusing. I don't.
