Teen on teen killing is nothing new-its been going on for centuries.

Answer 3

I live in Wisconsin..and a couple years ago it was just as bad if not worse in Milwaukee...I wanted to go to college in Milwaukee but some family and friends talked me out of it because it's relatively dangerous there.

Answer 4

It's sad when youths are killed and dye a premature death, but it's even worse when a youth is not even involved and die being a totally innocent bystander. I live in Oklahoma City, small compared to a lot of cities, but the gang movement is growing here. It's been around while, but it's starting to get almost as bad as the larger cities.

Answer 5

You must have a turf war going on between for control of the drug traffic between the gangs up there.

No not bad down here as it is up there. From time to time it flares up usually when price of drugs bottom out and gangs are looking for ways to keep their revenue up by infringing on other gangs territory.

Sorry to here about your cousin.  But only way to stop is clamp down hard on the drugs being smuggled in.  I don't care if we have to turn Colombia and Ecuador into a burned out forest.  I mean burn everything that will burn.

Answer 6

I go to school in Sidcup which is about a 10 miles from London, On the way home I pass a quiet bar where ther's normally a few 50 year olds enjoying themselves. About a month ago the Harry Potter star was stabbed there. It made me feel sick. Also there was a drug deal ten minutes away on a bus from my house were 3 were killed about 6 months ago. I'm 15 and I'm worrying about staying out anyl ater than 11.00 now because you think, Oh it'll never happen to me but it could as this proves
