All these gun and knife crimes are seriously getting out of hand - something needs to be done, quick.

Simple, bring back the death penalty for these people. They have no justification for it, so they need not live a day longer. I am against the death penalty, but killing off these freaks really isn't going to cause anything, Saddam didn't needed to be hanged, but these murderers deserve to be shot. It's not as if they're going to do anything better in their life.

Appaling, Really

They believe it MAY have been a mistake in a way and they thought it was another child they were shooting. They are thinking about this because they haven't (obviously) ruled out gang wars, but the boy's relatives say he is NOT the kind of child to be in a gang.

Some white kids trying to act black by shooting an 11 year old? Send them to the streets of America, they wanna act hard then let them.

as far as bbc news 24 is concerned.... no

playing football (at 8:30 in the dark???? , probebly drinking) got shot

It happened at 7.20, and it ain't dark then? And I doubt he wouldn't have been wearing a football kit, with football boots on if he was out drinking? :rolleyes:

And by looking at the picture of him, he doesn't look like the type to be in a gang or whatever..

Doesn't suprise me that something like this has happened either.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BgpgSSKe2t0
