I don't know what the rest is Let's get into it. I'm just really on here just seeing stuff that I want to look at The headlines are becoming all too familiar, but no less shocking According to one witness the victims parents were with him when he died knife crime is on the rise That's a real tough, man Just imagine having kids and you watching you're getting you like passing away before your children like Like just a natural thing to happen is the reverse, right? And people up and down the country are losing their lives in record numbers 285 people were fatally stabbed in England and Wales last year. That's the hottest number since records began Now the communities 2018 that's a lot of people almost 300 people fatally stabbed Like I said, that's always a different type of breed to even think about doing the face with knife crime on a daily basis Seem reluctant to talk about do what you gotta do So I'm going to ask them why and try to find out if anything can be done to stop The killings now because violence begins violence, you know I'm saying so I start most of these are just revenge Knife crime capital of the UK the Metropolitan police deal with an average of London I Started my journey in London knife crime capital of the UK The Metropolitan police deal with an average of 40 blade related offences Every single day and in the first four months of this year. There were more than 20 fatal stabbings here I'm just about to go into a flat in South London and speak to four gang members who carry knives the seriousness of his face like Like this this is a serious thing like I'm not gonna Let me say let me rephrase that To me, it's like every day like, you know, this is the shit that we read that I react to every day Like I live in one of the most crime-ridden areas in Chicago of north of lease So just to let y'all know there's four areas of north. I mean in Chicago We all notice there's a South side which most of y'all know y'all think everybody in Chicago supposed to look And sound like a South side nigga That's why y'all be in my comments sounded like some goofies and some clown ass people sometimes like y'all don't know what the fuck Yeah, I'll be talking about so y'all think anybody South side, but there's also out West. This this is exactly how out South out West Over East and up North. I'm from up north We we a little bit more cultured up north, you know saying we gentrification hit us first so we adopt we adapt we a What's the word? I'm looking for we we We a depth it adopted what's the word? Damn? I'm low. I can't even think of the word right now We had to we had to figure it out. We had to learn how to talk So people wouldn't be scared of us and you know, you know, that's why I talk this way, you know It's years of Being able to Blend That's what I'm saying. You got a blend when you from the north side to be able to make money in any situation From it from jobs to everything like you got to be able to blend So get out my comments talking that stupid shit that y'all need to know about like nine times out of ten I still from this motherfucker. I'll let that be drip if we need to I can get where I need to get to But like stop saying that ignorant. That should be done. Yeah, I don't know I Didn't know their identities, but I was told they were all under and that's not the people that's Obviously, TLO follower subscribers. That's just ignorant hanging people the age of 21 Thanks for great talk to us guys the youngest was just 15 go ask you guys why I saw many young people carry knives now Some people they even have a choice and I want to live person have to carry a knife to protect himself from other people Trying to come to you get me. So it's about protection. Yeah, of course. How young were you when you started carrying? If any of you ever been attacked How does it happen you can be in a certain area wrong place wrong time is out of drugs Hello, it's over jobs, but then nowadays it's just silly you shall not have a problem you over nothing Why is it got so bad? Mainly social media so snapchat Instagram certain people say things and it just escalates situation Now everyone thinks it's fashion to be carrying a knife. So really carry knives now. Yeah, we've all got something on us for real for Oh, can I look? Come ask the question. Where did that come from? It's kitchen online. You can get that anywhere. I can get around it or not one phone Oh Target Man, are nice not as accessible out there or something like I can literally go to the corner store and get a knife right now Like any jewel target. I don't know if y'all know these are department stores. They carry these It obviously because knife grind is so high out there. They can't be that accessible go ahead Wow He got he got so that is designed for one thing and one thing only That's not for use in the kitchen, right? Now there ain't no kitchen right there. That's a rambo. He have any of you had friends who'd be them in stabbed or killed How many fatally free so you know free young people have lost their lives and You still carry knives? Yes. Yes even more reason to yes. I'm not promoting this but like make sense Process this in your head. I've seen me under this man has seen three people lose their life to a knife What make you think he want to be the fourth one? Yeah, I think three people use they like play this probably like and they ain't have one on them Yeah, I'm funnest. I can't one too. I'm not like simple as that In my neighborhood, so this ain't your neighborhood. It's my neighbor. I think three people lose their shit From this stuff. So yeah It makes sense. I've got to protect myself. It's hard out there and you think of it as hard But also not every young person carries enough. Do they some people choose not to yeah, they're not articles of millions Those people are fast. Yeah. Yeah. So is it a war then? There's definitely opposite sides people are dying So it's a war, isn't it? It seems like it's 22 these young men say if they don't carry knives They could end up dead But if they get caught carrying them they could receive up to four years in prison But it's not just kids in our biggest cities who are arming themselves with blades Stereotypically knife crime has been associated with a certain color skin on a state in London The knife crime is growing faster outside of the capital than it is within it and it's not just black kids It's white kids. It's Asian kids and it's not just happening on the States. It's happening in the suburbs. Oh Man was so shocked when he said that like So you see three of your friends carry nice lose their life tonight. So you and you still do. Yeah That's even more of a reason now. I think three of my closest people lose their lives two knives And like I said earlier probably because they weren't carrying themselves So to defend myself I Gotta do what I gotta do at the end of the day man.
