This may not be specific to Accy but something that is becoming common place in this country. The lastest case is of a 16yrs old being run down, cornered, stabbed and beaten to death by a mob of teens. 2 of the 4 arrested and charged are 13yrs old!
In the past Iv'e had the view that today's teens are no worse than at any other time.. but this is the 4th case in a matter of weeks were 15and 16yr old kids have been murdered in cases involving teens with guns,bats and knives.

I don't think anyone should get to thinking it only happens in the black community .. any impressions of that would only serve to make the wider community to thinking it can't happen here!
This sort thing was extremly rare in my youth.. Mods Rockers.. football aggro.. not on the same scale. When did it come to this?
