Taking a sword to a 14 year old is beyond cowardly
-
It's so upsetting to hear a young lad just going off to school .sending condolences to his family.RIP sweet young man.❤
-
14??? wtf are you attacking anyone let alone a child.... Sick just sick.
-
Suffered injuries when he hit his van. He was walking around waving his sword before he got tasered. He should be in court today and giving 1000 years in prison as there is no death penalty here.
-
Sickening, that poor lad and his family 😢
-
Sickening How horrific for the boy and his family …and right in front of his home. So sad!
-
Absolutely disgusting that a murderer has more rights than the family who will want justice for their child. Dude was clearly uninjured enough to go on a rampage but too injured to be questioned and thrown in jail? Despicable. What kind of backwards logic is that.
-
May that poor 14 year old boy rest in peace. 😢
-
RIP to the young lad. So sad and horrific.
-
Condolences to that poor boy's family. That's horrific..
-
You have footage of him killing someone so put him in jail immediately
-
I feel pity about you that you call the assailant 'alleged'. He is caught on camera . If you dont have courage to report honestly, sit at home.
-
Bringing law of not selling sword is not solution. How will stop sell of knives or baseball bat? Anything and everything can be weapon. Problem lies deep.

Kids aren’t safe in a city! What an earth We've made!!!

"Care In The Community" was the catch phrase they used for shutting down mental health units. Released every patient with a repeat prescription and "hoped" the patients took their medication.
-
As someone who lives in Hainault my entire life, our thoughts are with the little boy, our community will never forget him. May he rest in peace.
-
To be fair a dude running around with a sword sounds pretty terrifying.
-
always about banning weapons never about lack of mental health dealing with the mentally deranged.
-
My heart goes to 14 years old boy who lost his life . Thinking about his family
-
The tw#t wasn’t injured enough to stop him wielding a swordand killing a kid , but too injured to be interviewed, that doesn’t make sense
