The deadly war in Northwest London, CSB vs. SGB? Alright guys, I'm back with another one. I'm waiting for Millio Waters, the borough of Brent, home to some of London's most deadliest gangs. And at one point, the capital of gun crime. Today we'll be focusing on two particular sets, Stonebridge and Church Road. A war that has been active for almost two decades. I'll be touching slightly on the set's history. But rest assured I'll be focusing mainly on the mother string of violence between these two sets. The past history is a bit murky, and many people disagree on certain events. So, aspects of it is best to be left alone, especially when I can't verify certain dios. That's a fact. If you can't verify this, that's almost snitching. We get an unusual glimpse into why the war on drugs is failing. Jamaica is one of this country's closest friends and favored trading partners. We give Jamaica more USA than any other Caribbean country. We also export a voracious appetite for drugs. So, Jamaican organized crime is flooding this country with tons of cocaine and marijuana. And along with the drugs, Jamaican gangs, or posse's as they're called, have imported marijuana. And along with the drugs, Jamaican gangs, or posse's as they're called. Never heard it called that. I've never actually heard a group of people call the posse ever in my life, not one time. Called, have imported a brand of cruelty that's second to none. Now let's take it way back to the 90s. Winston Harris, aka Escobar and his fellow yardies relocated from Jamaica into New York City. They were known as the lock city crew. There was an American dream on the table, and everyone wanted a piece of it. They started distributing drugs in Queens. However, and everyone wanted a piece of it. They started distributing drugs in Queens. However, after several murders and drug related crimes, Escobar and his gang fled. I'm not gonna lie, I went to New York one time, right? A few years back. And this is how it was, honestly, almost. It was like people was on the street. It was some people on a set of steps with a bone box. People was jumping rope on the streets. I was like, wow. And I was in the hood. I was in Brooklyn or something. I forgot where I was. It was a hood though. And I was like, dang. Chicago, we could never do this. People do not be outside just kicking it like this. It was a beautiful thing to see for me at least. However, after several murders and drug related crimes, Escobar and his gang fled to London to avoid the FBI. One of the rare occasions where gang members understood when to stop rolling the dice. Once they touched down in London, they settled into Brent where they recruited members from all over the borough and imposed their violent style of dealing with issues, causing them to grow very quickly. Now onto the 2000s. A new generation of youngsters forming their own sets came into play. The Fugs of Stonebridge and the Church Road soldiers. The hatred between these two sets was so severe that innocents who lived in opposing estates would also be targeted. Kaiser Osmond, also known as Ozzy, a resident from the Stonebridge Park estate, was bullied by younger members of the Church Road soldiers in and outside of school. Despite Ozzy being a civilian, he and his family would often make reports to the police claiming to be a victim of the bullying. Members of the gang would purposely bang on his door screaming, I will kill you. They would surround his house armed with knives shouting these intimidating remarks regularly. One day, he was seen walking out of the community centre in the Church Road estate. A few members of the gang approached him, they began assaulting him and he was stabbed right in the chest. He died shortly after due to his injuries. Members were arrested some as young as 12 years old, where one member was charged with his manslaughter. In 2001, Shakar Anderson, a.k.a. Cash was a talented musician who was about to be signed by Danso artists and legend, Movado. He was a young man who had been a member of the Church Road and a member of the Church Road. He was a member of the Church Road and a member of the Church Road. He was a member of the Church Road and a member of the Church Road. In 2001, Shakar Anderson, a.k.a. Cash was a talented musician who was about to be signed by Danso artists and legend, Movado. One day, Cash got into a sticky situation with a Stonebridge member named Shorty. Unfortunately, the situation escalated and Shorty shot Cash at a point blank rage and robbed him. Cash almost died from his injuries but thankfully survived. Cash was left with nothing but classic movies and I love this movie. In 2002, famous UK rapper Dizzy Roscoe held an event at a nightclub to tackle guncrank. The irony is that Cash and Zeno both attended the event armed. Zeno being the older brother of Nines, a very important individual that will make a name for himself in the future. Also in attendance was Shorty, the man who almost took Cash's life a year prior as well as another Stonebridge member named... Who made this guest list? Who invited him? What was they on? The Endsman Cash spotted him and instantly Shorty shot him in the back of the head. Zeno also saw Endsman and began firing, hitting him in the neck. Endsman attempted to escape but sadly collapsed outside the nightclub and died. Despite several people witnessing this, no one said a word due to fear and both murders are unsolved to this date. Now forward to 2007, a pivotal moment in a northwest London gang culture. The introduction of the bandana movement. Stonebridge linked up with several sets such as South Kilburn, Chalk Hill and Monks Park. They all flagged blue. Their rivals flagged red. I go into more detail about this in my other video that's on my channel that you should check out. However, Church Road, they stuck with a black flag to distinguish themselves from their rivals. They weren't a part of the link-up despite sharing the same rivals and kept to themselves. April 2008, Zeno, aka Wayne Freckleton, was sitting in a barber shop. Zeno, aka Wayne Freckleton, was sitting in a barber shop when he was brutally shot and killed by masked gunmen. The gunmen were Ford and Osborne, two Stonebridge members who were later sentenced to life. In prison, this vicious attack was a revenge for the double murder Zeno was a part of in 2002. Although it happened a good six years ago, it's a testament to the statement that revenge has no expiry date. 2009, Church Road affiliate Pinky had been attending a party inside the local primary school in the Stonebridge Park estate. Hours later, whilst leaving the premises, he was confronted by Stonebridge members which led to a gunshot being fired. Pinky was hit and later died from his injuries. Stonebridge member Grandad and others were arrested, even going as far as to arrest the schoolboy in connection with the murder. But due to insufficient evidence and no witness coming forth, the case was later dropped and the murder remains unsolved. An individual from the Church Road area that goes by a dipset was once spotted by Stonebridge members. They forced him to strip naked and do star jumps, repeatedly smack himself in the face and to scream stone busy. Now this stripping business is something I've seen gangs all over the world do and I generally think it's one way closeted, down low homosexual gang members can express their desires whilst disguising it as humiliating and not because there's nothing gangster about it. The video was uploaded to YouTube, but for some reason you can only hear the audio. Now onto the 2010s, Stonebridge member K Coke was making a name for himself in a rap scene, consistently producing bangers, notably his hit A You Alone Fam which was dedicated to disinformer Stonebridge member Spider who snitched and relocated outside of London. K Coke also did a fire in the booth and was one of the first artists I've seen hitting million views back then. This was a monumental feat as London didn't have much of a rap scene, like this song sits at a pretty 22 million views today. 22 million is impressive for anybody. Now onto the late 2010, K Coke and fellow member Squingy was spotted in a barber shop by church road members. K Coke was sitting waiting for his haircut when they ran up on him recording, verbally abusing him, throwing bricks and leaving with his jacket. K Coke stood his ground and jokingly replied, What you saying? So credit to him for that, can't buy a heart. What? What? Now throughout the next few years, operation Shouldn't even have posted that. Trident, which is a police service unit, originally set up in 1998 for the black community as the community-led initiative with the police to tackle gun crime and homicides disproportionately affecting African Caribbean communities. Trident successfully arrested many gang members for firearms and ammunition possession. This helped lower the crime within the borough of Brent, especially within the housing area. Gentrification also played a part and had taken an influx as it staged with demolition. Many residents, including gang members, were forced to move out of the area due to high rent and some for criminal convictions. song with Rita Ora, where the hook says, lay down your weapons. Kate Coke's response was said, lay down your weapons to the kiddies and that I never laid down mine. I got a Fiziana Mac. In other words, I was telling the kids to lay down their weapons. Asked the old Godmind, Kate Coke didn't stop there. He crossed the line and talked about Zeno's death. The older brother of 9s who got gunned down in a barber shop. The lyrics read, fuck boy, you're not 30. Your brother died in 06. Now come 2018, the rise of the new generation. Many fucks of Stonebridge members got locked up in drug offenses and firearm charges. This led to the extinction of SGP and made way for the new upcoming generation from the SOS, aka shoot on sight. Prominent members included Crush Corn, Little Shanks, Little J. The Alliance were newer generation of the South Cuban and Chulkyl Estates, now known as A9 and SSK. Over the years, more alliances have emerged with other gangs such as CGM and LGA. Just like their rivals Church Road would also usher a new generation of CSP members, which consisted of prominent members such as Chapo, South Q2T, Screamer and many more. Unlike Stonebridge though, the younger generation would keep the name CSP going. They were going to make music and adopt a popular UK drill song. Now remember Big Keys I talked about earlier? Well, his nephew, Rico Finlayson was stabbed 10 times in the Church Road area. Thankfully, paramedics managed to save his life. Meanwhile, his father, Justin, has just secured funding to expand a charity that tackles knife crime. In August 2017, the father launched a music outreach project which was a double decker bus converted into a music studio which picked up gang members from Church Road in the Hardland area in the morning and Stonebridge gang members in the afternoon. He wanted to inspire the youth within the community instead of being on the road committing crimes to channeling. Emotions into art On the 31st of May 2018, a 24-year-old man, known locally as Jay, was found with gunshot wounds on Lawrence Avenue at about 8.30pm. He had been shot 11 times with a machine gun. Luckily, he survived the attack. It was reported that he had been at the wrong place at the wrong time and they intended to talk to his friend, a Fox of Stonebridge member. In 2019, an event took place that added oil to an already raging fire. This would lead to a severe upscale in future violence. One day, Nines was driving around in his Porsche and had been spotted by Mad Big and AR. After they locked eyes, Nines was chased. This is what led to Nines crashing his car. AR and Big caught up with him and stabbed him in his face. AR even recorded him chasing Nines. This was a stupid decision to chase Cloud and incriminate himself, which further aided the police. They used the footage as evidence in the courtroom and it was later sentenced for the stabbing. Nines left with a nasty scar that you can see today on his face. On the 5th of July on Harrow Road, Monk's Park, at around 8.20pm on Friday, Craig Small, aka Small's, a Stonebridge member and friend of K-Cog, was gunned down. This was a retaliation for what happened to Nines. On such a named brand and important member such as Nines's attack, the retaliation always has to be murder. The shooting was caught on CCTV. The shooter creeped up close and unaware Small standing outside the chicken shop was shot at point blank range. And when it looked like the shooter was fleeing, he came back to shoot again while Small's was lying on the floor. Two things we do not do, I would consider lacking. Standing outside of the food shop, you don't stand outside. We place the order, we go pick up the order, we get back in the car, we go. We don't go to the place, order the food, wait, no, no, no, no. We even pay for it on the phone, just give me it. And I don't send myself in, send somebody else in. We don't do that. Second thing is wait outside the night close, don't do that either. Once it's done, go to the car, leave. Simple. Summer rest was made, including fellow CSP rapper and right-hand man of Nines, Scraps. He was charged on September 12th with perverting the Court of Justice. The death of Small's hit Stonebridge heavy. Emotions were high and retaliation was a must. Without any proof, they thought St. Raphael's had involvement in his murder. This led to tips for tax with them. They resorted to taking their anger and frustrations out on any St. Raphael's member they could find. The next day St. Raphael's GK was shot numerous times while sitting in his car. That's another thing we don't do, sit in the car. It's for work. Then trio, now going into her. It's going to be in constant motion. Fortunately he only got shot in his arm, was rushed to hospital and discharged. Both Skeng and M1 would be arrested for their participation in their attempted murder. Young Sam was charged with the murder of Small's. The next day beefy rounded up Fox's Stonebridge members to go off to St. Raphael's leader Bucky. I'm assuming this all is public knowledge on the internet. Can all be found? To make an example. Go off to St. Raphael's leader Bucky. This is because they wanted to make an example by going off to the main figurehead at the time. The Fox's Stonebridge member saw an innocent man named Kowasi Mensa walking out of a shop. They followed him and shot him in the head at point blank range. Another case of mistaken identity. A trend we are sadly so accustomed to. Come 2020, many CSB members were released from prison and held a block party to celebrate. A SOS member got word that the party had slid. The gunman spotted a CSB member along with his family and started shooting. A CSB member was shot in his arm. His wife was shot five times in the chest and the most heinous crime of them all. Their two-year-old was shot in the head. Thankfully all survived but had life-changing injuries. The shooter was Crashcon. He was charged with triple attempted murder. However, he beat the case due to insufficient evidence and I'll talk about luck. Ain't no luck. He had a mask on. It can't be luck. But yeah, nah, that's crazy. That's an unfortunate event, man. That's why you gotta stay away from this lifestyle, man. Kids in the head, innocent wives. Look who you put in danger. You got hit in your arm. Look what your kid got. Look what your wife got. That's crazy. I'm sure you can imagine the sheer anger the CSB member was going through. It's one thing being shot but to have your family, your wife and your young child inflicted with life-changing pain, trauma and injuries, I couldn't comprehend the level of revenge that he was contemplating. Now remember how this video started in Jamaica? Well, let's take it back there. As revenge for what Crashcon did, his father was assassinating Jamaica as revenge. An innocent baby and wife shot and now an innocent father was taken all because of what his son had did. This vicious cycle looks like it may never end. It just- Nah, not with them kind of stats, okay? Unfortunately. And you know, all you can do is change your life for the better and try to move away from it, but that's- Eyes down for a bit until another event re-triggers it. How many lives taken spanning through three different generations in three different countries? How many civilians were taken that had nothing to do with it? See, I don't like preaching as everyone already knows what the streets and so, it's either death or prison. And if you're lucky enough to make it out, you certainly don't without trauma and misery. What's the point of being the one who made it if you can't enjoy it with your friends because- That's the survival remorse. A lot of people go and do that man. I made it out of the head and all your friends is either gone or- They were mad. That survivor's guilt. If you like what I do, make sure you give this a like and subscribe. Plenty more to come in a few- Be decent. Do you know, leave a like, comment, subscribe, turn on your post, man. I think this is the only video, man, because I'm sick. It honestly hurts to sit here more than 10 minutes. You're like a whole body and whatnot. Okay.
