Hello,

As some of you know i am from Toxteth, Liverpool. Two nights ago 3 people were stabbed, all diferrent people, no links.

I think this area is getting a bit too bad now, one of them was 16 and surrounded by a gang and then stabbed 12 times, this is sick.

I know it's always been a bad area, but theres some great people, always looking out for eachother, it just isn't getting any better, crime wise.

i.e. Police have the right in some areas to split a group of more then two, and if seen the following day in that area you could face arrest.

Police have bikes, quads, vans and cars round here aswell as those on foot. Not nice for capital of culture tourists.

I know theres another guy on here from Toxteth, and many from Liverpool.

What do you think is happening to the area and city on a whole?

Also, for those outside of Liverpool, what do you think of it?

no stereotyping! :)
 
Taking everything on board, all decent replies really Bennah, Kensington isn't that bad.

There has been a few shootings and stuff but most parts have had that over the year, sadly in Toxteth its a 'normal' thing.

My brother has been held up in Kensington by a shotgun a few years back. I don't see Kenny as a threat however. Regardless of that

Others may find it very strange when moving there from outside, as if someone told me 'so and so got murdered' i'd be like, 'oh right, poor lad' but i can see outsiders saying 'OMG OMG nooooo' as it isn't a 'everyday situation'

That isn't stereotyping, that is what i have learnt, i went to college outside Liverpool and everyone is like 'wow' as some things are unbeleivable

Maybe so. People were going down no entry pedestrianised streets and parking on the kerb and nothing was done.

The bloke my dad was working with had been attacked unloading his van in broad daylight, twice.

Yeah i doubt its a joke, many companies or self employed people hate, and i mean hate coming here, minute they park and enter someones house the vans empty

Its crazy, walls that have been built, and gates put in place to block 'get a way' areas, aswell as police cameras across the streets just dont work.

How many of you knew that the Police Helicopter got moved from Liverpool Airport to Woodvale because Toxteth youths attacked it at the airport, the stuffs crazy.

The internet allows me to 'think' and an outsider sometimes, and it really does work and is an eye opener, the place is mad.
