Well, that's kinda what my post was about.. I wasn't sure if Joe C new the person stabbed, or it was just a random person. I didn't see the point of the post if it was the latter, sad/sick as that sounds.

1) It's not like Nottingham is new to shootings/stabbings (especially in recent years, with the cracking down on gun crime).

and..

2) The amount of stabbings we've had in the UK this year, it's becoming scarily 'normal'.

its not really that different from in the past though is it? every generation of young people has had their violent groups who caused similar panics amongst people and politicians, look at the rockers, the football firms of the 80's etc.

whilst it is still just as sad when people are stabbed its not anything that new at all, so i don't see the reason for increased paranoia, if you are scared off the streets by hoodlums then ultimately they have won in their bid to "rule the streets" or whatever

you're right in that violence amongs youths isn't a new thing but i think the increased use of knives and guns is a change from the past. where people might have been badly beaten or even hospitalised in fights among gangs in the past, chances are you'll end up dead these days

but as you say it's been over-hyped by the media, like so many things, so that people are taking a lot more notice. i think possibly in the past gang violence went largely unnoticed by the majority whereas these days virtually every stabbing or shooting ends up on the news

my friend lives in some rough area of Nottingham- he is a student and his house is sick (sky, jacuzzi, sauna, cheap rent) but it has a metal door and a camera and stuff and all the other houses and stuff on the street have boarded windows etc.

People have been getting stabbed/beaten/shot for a long time it is all media hype- IMO because Boris has pledged to stop youth violence and media are quick to show shortcomings.

The media are very selective in who they will report on though- only innocent people from a good upbringing like that Ben kid. Some gang kids as well but that is only recently because they are running out of options. 6 people were stabbed in my local pub in Bromley a month or so ago in 1 incident- there was blood on the walls etc. but hardly any press coverage because it was over drugs and the local thuggish albanians. Its like sally anne bowman received massive media attention (upcoming beautiful model), while the black girl from Brixton whose body was found cut up in South London same age around the same time and everything was hardly reported at all.

People need top be careful, but I don't really feel unsafe anywhere I go- felt worse in Croydon about 3 or 4 years ago tbh where there was weekly stabbings at places like Arena tram stop which never got reported.
