Another teenager has been stabbed to death in Britain:

That makes 17 teenagers killed in London this year so far. Of course, where violent crime is concerned, there is no shortage of liberals who wish to 'understand' the root causes:
http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/dispatches/why+kids+kill/1400747
"Dispatches discovers the main cause of fighting is not bloodlust so much as boredom. Teenagers blame their violence on a lack of youth facilities or being able to reach the ones that do exist as they are outside their gang's territory."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6464853.stm
"I think it's a problem in London that's caused by the huge disparity in wealth"
Do I have to explain just how disgusting these lines of reasoning are?
I'm not for one minute suggesting that life isn't tough for some of these people. But they are not the only ones who have to deal with adversity. And if we wring our hands when confronted with evil, what are we saying to the rest of those noble souls, who prefer to make the best of their circumstances without turning to violence because they are "bored" ...
So let me say this right here, right now, with absolute confidence:
I don't give a damn about the "people" who killed Ben Kinsella. And neither should you.
Get this:
Regardless of whether you believe that an ex-young offender should be permitted to train as a doctor, how does this sit with the previous discussion? In the UK, if you commit a crime, the liberal newspapers are full of idiot columnists making excuses for your behaviour. Maybe you had a bad childhood. Maybe it's the poverty, or the deprivation.
But woe betide you if you get off your backside and try to turn your life around. Oh no, no no!
It's almost as if these people want a permanent underclass ...
