    Stabbed to death over a bike?

    What's gone wrong with these people? It's not bad enough they're willing to steal kids' bikes from under them, but to needlessly stab them too?

    Holy f*cking $hit.

    There's two sides of this though.

    One, what kind of person would do something like that? Like, what kind of sick psycho? That kind of person deserves the harshest of judgements.

    The other is, what kinda society are we creating where someone is willing to kill for a bike? Crime arises from poverty and isolation, and man, it's gotten far if this is where we've ended up.

    ^^ I can't fathom it either. The crazy thing is, the kids/guys running out to steal these bikes and stab just for kicks, probably have £100 trainers on, and go home to their brand new games console... Life is tough!

    You can't possibly judge that much from the low - res capture of that video, tho... Those kids could be poor as hell.
    If they do it just for the kicks, that makes me think they're just downright psychopaths, in which case just lock em away forever (or kill them).

    Maybe you're right... Hopefully we'll see when they catch them!

    Islington? Isn't that where the local council decided to stop serving pork in schools last month?

    Bikes are being stolen because sausages have been taken off the menu?
