We’re not talking about some little **** spewing misogynist **** on Twitter, this pos killed someone. If you think parents are not the first people to blame It’s so easy for kids to fall into right wing nonsense tho. The parents can try and correct the behavior as much as they want but these kids get BRAINWASHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way a teenager who was raised properly would do something like this simply because of online influences. Perhaps they weren't the ones telling him to act like this but they must have done something terribly wrong in raising him When the surrounding environment is extremely toxic, there's only so much parents can ensure a specific outcome when the kids hit teen years. It can be more an achievement for the parent to correct it than an inherent failure that they haven't. Minds are also extremely unique I l have a massive family with many of us well rounded but one sibling turned out a mess, Life is a bit too dynamic to simplify it to them doing something "terribly wrong"... But honestly he probably only has an active mother in his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knife crime in London may be an issue but it's highly over exaggerated. This is a city with almost 9 million people. The vast majority of people are not witnessing stabbings on a regular basis. Most knife crime involves adults not children. This is the 15th teenage victim of homicide in London this year and notably the only female victim. I think given the specifics of this case, whilst not confirmed as of yet, the idea that this boy has been influenced by violent male influencers isn't that far fetched. Breaking it down to homicides alone is a disservice... There is a lot I'm not even going to bother getting into, I don't think people here are really connected to the culture they're trying to dissect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say what you wanna say or don't say anything at all. You're talking about being "connected to a culture" of an area multiple people in this thread live and grew up in. 16 minutes ago, Otter said: But honestly he probably only has an active mother in his life What did you mean by this btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you mean by this btw It's not faux intellectual dishonesty, it's simply saying that there vasts differences between the culture on the ground, real world experiences in these areas versus what people are sighting. And it's not easily worded or simply referenced through a stat on homicides... no one on the ground in these areas is thinking about Andrew Tate, it's far off base. I'm not going to get into the depths of it, just highlighting a disconnect especially for people who are not Afro/Carribbean Londoners or local to the area. You can find it a weird look, that's fine by me... I'll engage on my terms and I meant, I wouldn't be surprised if his father isn't in his life.
