I got mugged on a bus, upper deck. None of them wore any face masks, you can see there faces so easily. Went to the police station after, waited 45 minutes, and still, nothing. The police only take action if there's death or injury

I left Tottenham 3 months ago and I have to say if the documentary doesn't scare you, it should. I lived a two minute walk away from Seven Sisters station and I can't think of a single day I didn't see mopeds mounting pavements or kids peddling drugs openly in the street.
These teenagers have no fear of retribution. The police are overwhelmed by cuts and this problem is only going to get worse until more powers and resources are given to those fighting it.
Massive thanks to this man for interviewing these kids and trying to spread awareness

"Every fourteen minutes, someone gets ran down on and chinged. We now speak to Daniel here who's had three of his homies dipped by the opps."

[MuhsinA-]

UK : Unlike America, we don't allow guns to prevent crime.

Human nature : You sure?

[a.sendoh]

buy a cheap moped, park up, rig it, wait for a thief, watch the fireworks

[samuelcromar]

i dont think its ok to stick camares in someons face after being robed

What can you expect from a country/city, where the police is more worried about islamophobic comments on social media rather then patrolling the streets.

[hyperx]

The pain in the man's eyes is unbearable
