youngdeacon.bandcamp DOT com/ MIXTAPE JUST DROPPED!!!

@M16LOC It has dislikes because people would rather ignore the underlying cause of the riots and just brand everybody involved scum.

Sure, it was scum who burned down small businesses and residential areas, but it's also scum who run the country. Theft is only a problem when it's the poor who do it. The Banks and Bankers have stolen the future of entire generations, and yet they get bailed out and given bonuses. Who's going to bail out the youth sitting in cells this evening?

[M16LOC]

How you going to 'dislike' this? Which ever way you look at it from the rioters view and from the polices point of view and even the innocent public point of view he is making a powerful point... I'm just confused i don't no why the video has 'dislikes' :-/

@i07oabdelmawla So narrow minded... he never said supported it, but stated it was inevitable as we get raised by trolls like you.

[thatsmygorilla]

@i07oabdelmawla noone chooses to be scum, if you grow up in a council estate or poor area, surrounded by criminality and a distinct lack of morality, your doomed to be influenced by your social environment and shaped into something bad, its not the failure of the individual, its the failure of society to establish within these individuals a moral code and give them opportunities and the belief that they can do something better with their lives. you conservative twat.

@kwinters20 hey, you disgusting racist, how smart do you sound using the word nigger ay :) clap for yourself becuase you just made us black people feel real bad! so I'll speak with the vulgarity you understand; well done, ignorant prick.

[XArcane]

@kwinters20 I noticed you commenting on a video by the Clash.... You used to like the Clash, and now you're posting hate speech with regards to the riots?! So when did you lose your soul - when you got old, or when you got lonely?

[i07oabdelmawla]

Shut up and BEHAVE, maybe if you didnt cause millions of pounds worth of damage and became a responsible part of society you wouldnt feel discriminated against, but no you choose to be scum and rob, loot and fight ... grow up and stop using age and the word "youth" as an excuse ...

[christoboyyy]

Im not listening to any cunts opinion unless theyre from London like I am. Enough people from Devon or Surrey can have opinions, but none of you will ever know.

Looting is bad yes, but believe me it feels like if youre young here no one cares about you so why should you care?

[axelmoore]

This is incredible. The dislikers are just middleclass twats who have it all and will never understand.

Love this. So creative. So current. So passionate. Thanks for telling the story from the side of young people here in London. We hear you. We hear you. Let's change things. "takes a whole community to raise a child..."
