Two teenagers were murdered in London at the weekend, bringing the number killed in the capital this year to five. An 18-year-old youth, originally from Algeria, was fatally shot in the neck on Saturday evening in Tottenham, North London. Police do not believe the shooting was gang related.

Will the UK be creating a national hammer registry?
DINERS carried on eating after a man was stabbed in a busy city centre restaurant. The 33-year-old victim suffered six knife wounds in the frenzied attack in Burger King on Moseley Street, Manchester. The restaurant was packed on Saturday afternoon when the incident happened. One witness said: "It was a sad indictment of the times we live in and somewhat alarming to note that several people, sitting no further than two or three yards away from the scene, continued to nonchalantly eat burgers and chips as if they were watching a crime drama unravel on the television.

Gun control laws are considered the solution but don't address the problem - the violence and crime. And to those in the UK, I am NOT telling you to allow guns but look at the social fabric.
And in Chicago....
The bullet lodged in the 15-year-old's left ankle is a permanent reminder of how close he came to death—how close he came to joining 28 Chicago Public Schools students who were killed so far this school year. "I do feel lucky," Kenneth said. As school officials acknowledged last week, Chicago already has eclipsed in 2008-09 the number of public school students killed all of last school year. And there are still three months to go until summer break. "The real fix is going to be changing the culture, the mind-set, the emotional maturity, the social fabric that a lot of these young men are operating in," Police Supt. Jody Weis said. "That fabric is torn. We've got to weave it back together and make it strong."Source: Chicago Tribune
