These are going to be gang/drug related for sure, but crime will grow as the economy goes down the pan, other crime.

I doubt they have the temperament to be put in front of the public in shops. It takes a certain kind of personality to be good at those jobs, often undervalued by rude customers who look down on them. Many of the office workers I've dealt with in my adult life could do it (*well).

Most wouldn"t last a day in a shop, wouldn"t take abuse for starters, wouldn"t get there on time, wouldn"t see a means to prosper in the future, and they would be right! Shop jobs in the main aren2t going to get you a mortgage and your own place, most in them are at home with folks or partnered up on rent, they are sadly not a means to a happy future if you are living alone, you couldn2t pay the bills.

The other posts developed my point and knew what I meant. The gang members in masks on these tv documentaries don’t even disguise they want the easy money and not the work and long road starting on low wages.

You’re probably right on some of the recent stabbings. Some of them sound like gangs or arguments between people who consider knives being normal.

Regardless of whatever excuses are trotted out for these murderers, the death penalty should be brought back and they should be strung up.

You don"t indeed, but you have to be able to pay your bills in life to be happy, unless you think someone in debt, with the threat of eviction or nowhere to sleep, and bailiffs and debt collectors could still be happy?If you can, show me them, and i will offer them a job paying peanuts and make lots of sheckles on there back!
