LOL, so the solution to a bunch of thugs going around stabbing each other is to effectively legalise drugs, and make them 2p per gram?!?!?
What am I reading here?
When your daughter OD's on £0.02 per gram drugs because literally every human in the country can afford them, lets see how that pans out.
I have almost no sympathy I am afraid, the gang culture is very VERY simple, and boils down to 2 things:-
1) Reputation, thugs wanting to appear the BAD MAN among their peers, and things getting absolutely silly in terms of young black violence
2) Youths that just cannot be bothered to work and want the quick, easy money, as well as the "gangsta" reputation.
It really is quite that simple.
When interviewed, moped gangs will blatantly admit, they want the trainers, the clothes etc, but rob people because "its quick and easy innit" and they do not have to work.
Until this pathetic mindset is broken by proper punishment, then the cycle will continue.
Now we have Police being sued for knocking scum off bikes, the trend won't get any better. IMO if you mix with these sorts of people and you end up getting "CHEFFED INNIT" then you are nearly as much to blame tbh. Again, this feeds into point 1) whereby people really just want the glorification and PROPPA BAD MAN persona.
It really is nothing short of absolutely pathetic, and most of these DRILL GANGZ IMO are just low life losers with no hope, and hopefully they get locked away until their childishness matures and they realise that you generally have the play the game of society, or the only person who truly loses out in the long run is them.
God, it really is not rocket science. Pandering to this BS and looking for excuses for the "poor impoverished darlings" is absolutely pathetic.
What stops these fools from educating themselves and getting the big bucks by working in the City? They are in the right flipping place!! Ahh I know... Pure and utter laziness, likely as well as poor IQ.
Can't say any more really.
You don't actually have an in-depth idea, you just concluded the story of how simple things are within your own mind. If it was that simple, trust me it would have been resolved, it’s not like everyone else is stupid except for the disgruntled person who wants bad things to simple "go away".
Ask yourself, why they want the "trainers, clothes, mobiles, etc." Is it because we live in a society where we regard these things of the highest value? Is it because we brain wash people with adverts that we must have the latest and best stuff, radio, TV, internet, billboards outside, constantly bombarded with messages that enter our subconscious minds. There is no adverts to eat healthy, go out into nature, meditate, be a good human being and enjoy life. How can people grow up to be good humans being when we're constantly told we must have the best materialistic things as opposed to value a good life?
Ask yourself how people can see a bright future if they know they would never be able to own a "home" with a 25K job or less a year, and must live in shared accommodation for the majority of their lives.
Don't get me a wrong, I would hate to get mugged or get my things stolen by some muppets, but we also need to see from a big picture perspectives and not just the single individual perspectives of "how this bad for me, how someone is going to steal my things". My Ryzen 2600x got stolen over black Friday, I think it was the delivery driver lol, it got marked as delivered but no doorbell sound or package.
A wise man once said: People like to think that if they were another person they would do things differently or better, that's not true, that's implying if you're adding your current ego and mind to another person. The matter of truth is you were that person, you were born to the same parents, had the same genetics, upbringing, environment, education and life events and memories you wouldn’t do anything differently because you'd
BE that person who he is right now.
There's a lot of people on these forums who just want to push a button so all bad people can die and just go away, this is akin to so many villains from Adolf Hitler to Darth Vader to Light from Death note to Thanos from Avengers, ALL these villains thought they were "doing good" the dark side is tempting and easy. The heroes are always selfless.
