Busta-Crime


“Rapper Busta Rhymes is flying to Britain in a bid to end the spiralling knife and gun crime epidemic..”

“To shock youths into disarming there’s one choice: Prison”

“..we want Police where needed..”

Above or some quotes regarding the “epidemic” of stabbings in London. One which speak to my soul is the 1st one.

“Rapper Busta Rhymes is flying to Britain in a bid to end the spiralling knife and gun crime epidemic..”

How nice of Mr Rhymes to come save the UK in its time of dire need by single handedly ridding the the streets of crime and filth.

For some reason beyond me I believe Busta Bust was sent by the White House in a joint government conspiracy to rid the streets of teen stabbings, THEN eventually make the United Kingdom the 53rd state (after Iraq and Israel)

But on a serious note this whole stabbing things sucks. I think one of the reason the whole “shanking” epedemic stems from the US. The UK is the never 1st with anything. MTV? US, YouTube? US, KFC? US, kids stabbing kids, US?

One can blame media for the sensationalizing the situation and triggering copy cats.

But having spent my teenage years in London I believe one of the reasons why the situation with gun/knife crime in London is going to rise and worsen in the near future is due to the fact that there isnt a lot to do.

Fair enough there is school and college, but what about after that? Teens need an outlet. The lack of number of productive things to do as a teenager in inner city London is endless.

Investment is needed in the development of youth centres where teenagers can go and actually DO something instead of spilling into the streets.

maybe im wrong?

just dont stab me.

now wheres Busta?
