#leeds #stabbing
As an ex service man who will be parading this Sunday. This country, our leaders have lost it. No discipline in homes or society.
Thanking you for your service. My GREAT grandfather lied about his age and enlisted at 15 to the army and lost his leg in The Great War. He was a kind, generous gentleman, all the local community adored him and shopkeepers accepted his messages so I could pick up his Woodbines and Guinness on my way home from school for him.
Please take care sir and G-d bless you 🇬🇧💜
What regiment?
What's this got to do with our leaders?
The problem is the parents, they drag their kids up not bring them up. They open the front door and send them out to play outside, have no idea what they are doing, who they are with, what they are carrying, it's shocking, my view is parents should be held equally responsible for there children's doings until they are 18, kid stabs someone, parents should be arrested also for parental neglect, the parents should know where there kids are and what they are doing
@@superchickensoup Agreed 👍
I look at my grand children and I feel so sad and scared for them because this country and world is completely messed up. I dread to think what it will be like in another 30 years.
More and more like the 3rd world as we endlessly import people fleeing civil war
Hmmmmmmm, very scary
I mean hey if humans are able to get back up after terrible events like WW1, WW2 and all the wars and genocides after that - then this is just another terrible event in the history books. But yh I feel you, the future does look bleak with all this turmoil.
Teach them about god. We are in the last days now
Psalm 78 vs 6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
UK is wild
He will probably get 2 years in prison and he will be free
Shame Uk justice system
Corruption.
@@shadowleon659 Corruption has nothing to do with it? Keir Starmer was the head of the CPS and reformed the sentencing guidelines for the worst? Officers and people can be spat and kicked and beaten and the CPS would offer you £35 in victim compensation and give him 6 months of community engagement. Sham of a CPS system. Corruption would imply that someone being investigated for this stabbing would pay off the CPS.
and its illegal to bear a weapon for self defense so he had no chance
@@user-vu4xr4ej7x whilst true you can't bring anything with you in public for self defence. There's certain parts of the law about arming yourself ( I can't remember the section).
But if you were walking down the street and Person B attempts to stab you. Person A whilst holding him off, picks up a plank of wood and smacks him with it, causing B's arm to break and he runs off, Person A would very very likely be found to be using self defence as he feared for his life and the item he used was not carried with him for self defence but armed himself at the moment and he used force that was necessary, proportional. Situations like that are fine
@@TheDangoNinja just wanna be able to carry something with the intent to defend myself like a normal human being
This happened in Horsforth, it’s a leafy lane area where our amazing Brownlee brothers are from and the boy had gone to pick a younger one up from the primary school according to local reports. I visited there just weeks ago as an author. I’m from Leeds and an ex teacher. Schools scared to seriously deal with behaviour. The children are being let down. Deepest condolences to the family, the school and community who will be shocked and heartbroken at this tragedy.
@@1newme425 the primary is a gorgeous school with lovely children and horsforth is and always has been a lovely place, fab University and a solidly good area so this is a shock. But I’ve taught in many challenging areas. It all starts in the home with parents. Teachers are crippled by a system that is against them in every way. Teachers are leaving in their thousands and there’s a staffing crisis due to insane pressure and massive underfunding.
You should hear the horror stories from the correctional schools from my friends teaching in London. To be honest, most have left the profession. I don't blame them. Sadly though, a lot of people are missing a key point. The poor boy was not in school. The headmaster at Horsforth referred to him as a formal pupil, not current. Why wasn't this 15 year old in schooling? 15 year olds are in the middle of their GCSEs, so should he have been. Teenagers need guidance, support and a basic education to discover who they are and what their life's purpose is. This lad was clearly failed across the board. Life is sacred. Britain is in such a sorry state and it's only getting worse. If I hear of one more MPs office getting a re-fit, I'll hit the roof. The English Govt. should have followed Scotland's blueprint on this matter which massively reduced violence and knife crime in the 90s. It's a choice not to.
@@1newme425 360 cameras in every class room to protect both teacher and students. If a student is being a dick and attacking anyone the teacher should have the power to restrain and remove that child with reasonable force. The cameras will then be used as evidence to both protect the teacher/student and prosecute the teacher/student depending on who was in the wrong.
How hard is it to have 2 cameras installed in each classroom to cover all in that room. This works for both students and teachers and any parent that comes in saying "X hit my child" can be shown the CCTV proving their child was attacking someone and the police be informed to prosecute the attack.
Anyone under 18 has their criminal record hidden from employers unless serious enough to warrant 12+ months prison time. If any child is sent to prison they still have to do school work regardless so it's not like a child spending a few months in prison is a bad thing. Might be a wake up call for most. If not then bring back mandatory military service. It dosn't have to be guns and war service but marching band, local reserves etc... or be sent around to do community service like bench painting, litter picking etc... all while being woke up at 6am and sent to bed at 6pm.
I'd much prefer my taxes go to covering mandatory lets say civil service for children 14-21.
Heartbreaking 😢 RIP ❤️ Young Man
What is this country coming to 😢 rest in peace young man, never got home from school.
He was never in school. The headmaster referred to him as a former pupil, not a current pupil. 15 year olds are in the middle of their GCSEs so why wasn't this poor lad at school anymore? Too many failures across the board. Deeply depressing for all involved. Life is sacred.
@@HitchcockTheSnailthat doesn’t mean he was never in school. He was just a former pupil.
It's deeply sad that that is happening to early teens in this day and age but there are two schools in that small town, the local comp that the headmaster said he was a former pupil of and a catholic school, which hasn't said he was enrolled there so all I'm saying it that 15 year old boys need guidance and a basic education to get on in life. He was not in school during school hours so why not? Too many teenagers slipping through the net. The teens involved will all know each other. They're too young to be acting like this. Wasted youth. A wasted life@@Microwayev
@@HitchcockTheSnail I know. It is deeply upsetting but at this point in time, I don’t think his education should be the top priority. We can’t dismiss it altogether but we can’t act like it’s the schools fault. However, I agree it’s incredibly upsetting and should never have happened.
I didn't say it was the school's fault. Far from it. I'm an ex-teacher. I understand the education system, it's rotten and has been for a while hence the 'ex'. However, the state does have a role to play in this. It is illegal for children to not be in school until after their GCSEs. When boys (it's mostly boys) are excluded, there is nothing set up to properly integrate them into society or back into education. They're left adrift and I can tell you, from what I can see, it's only going to get worse. The stories I hear from friends who teach in correctional schools in the capital tells me we're headed in a bad direction and sad stories such as this are only going to happen more. Scotland did a brilliant job massively reducing violence and knife crime in the 90s and offered to share their blueprint with the English authorities but England wouldn't. I'm guessing no English govt. would want to spend our taxes on bettering the lives of those that need it the most. If I read of one more MP's office being re-decorated, I'll hit the roof. My point was that the lad should have been in school doing his GCSEs but wasn't so something had obviously gone wrong. Unless it transpires this was an unprovoked attack then we're into different territory. Life is scared. Children are our collective future. There is fault here, and it's multi-pronged @@Microwayev
Need we guess the appearance of the murderer involved?
The less information on cases like this, more is said.
This western woke censorship is part of the problem!
He don’t be the last one .. this country with many evil strange people
And most are in parliament.
Country is in ruins what do you expect alot more of this is to come no one is safe anymore
Then leave

@@MemeAthon. Lmao just noticed your Welsh 😂 your 'country' is pathetic many years ago and it's still pathetic now 😂
This is so sad, another young life taken . Condolences to family and friends. RIP.
Who tf is knifing a 15 year old boy?! That poor boy, his poor mother and father and family. That poor, poor boy 😢
Another 15 year old probably. A lot of kids carry knives now. USA first, then the UK, that's how it works.
most black teenagers because they cant fight
@Cunnyking yep in london at least every month teenagers are stabbing each other. its crazy. hopefully leeds does not go the way of london.
I think it was a 14 year old :(
@@PassportGI don’t think it will. Horsforth is a nice community and this kind of stuff would almost never happen there. I think it’s the second murder there has ever been in horsforth, since a long time ago. This isn’t normal.
I know of the father. Heartbreaking. My dad was really upset. Messed up world.
Why is this normal for us now?
Kids dying from knife crime isn’t shocking anymore, it’s standard.
We have all failed this boy and his family because we haven’t addressed the societal issues that we have here
It’s definitely not normal in horsforth. It’s a really nice community and you wouldn’t expect that to happen there- I wouldn’t say knife crimes are normal. At least not there.
This is happening way too much. Ban all knives from children.
What a waste of a life, my heart go's out to the family. I wonder where the murdering waste of space hails from!?
My condolences to his family and friends …
This is what happens when you raise children in a no consequence society , teachers not allowed to discipline children parents not allowed to discipline children what do people expect ?? If you raised a dog and did not discipline it , you'd have many dangerous dogs in existence because it will do what it wants rather than what it should . All mammals are the same including humans
they are banning the xl cause if you hit your dog once youre abusing it so they let them rip toddlers apart then give it an attaboy
Very true, its getting worse by the second in scotland where under 25 s have a passport to do what they want with no consequences as their ‘brains are still developing’ …a reason to have them learn to be socially respectful in my view by having strict consequences…
@@risenshine2783if that’s true, why have homicide rates decreased by more than half in the past 20 years?
@ladyj7085 Scottish Government and Statista.
Do you dispute it?
@ladyj7085 The person I replied to was talking about Scotland so your statistics on knife crime in England is irrelevant.
The Great Britain is not so great anymore 😞 everything in this country is wrong now 🤷
Population replacement.
You do know that the great in Great Britain never meant greatness?
As Sadiq Khan would put it: “Cultural enrichment”
@@RandomnessTube. It says great,so for me it means "Great" And everything that is hidden under this word: Great Britain has stopped developing for many years, they have stolen gold from other countries, they have made fortunes by harming people, it is one of the most racist countries on earth. The British think they are better than everyone else, but the truth is that they can't do anything and have always relied on emigrants. it's a drunken nation, a bunch of drunks and junkies, wait a few more years and England will be like third world countries 😏
Rest in peace 🙏 you didn't deserve this my hart goes out to the family may god be with you all god rest his soul gone too soon😢
Only the universe can decide who lives and who dies.....
@ladyj7085 With the frequency of sound which is what you humans call God. This is actually the universe that's alive and influences our world with sound and vibration. Nikola Tesla knew this.
This is what’s to be expected in a country where the one in charge isn’t elected.
Condolences to the boys family❤ RIP
What must go on in the head of a 15 year old that they could conceive the killing of another child?
The killer jumped out of a car to attack him then escaped with two accomplices in the same car. Obviously not 15 yr olds. Story In Daily Mail.
How sad😢
The country is gone
This country is disintegrating
Byee go to Poland
better you when you get deported :D @@NathanMatthews.
Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. RIP young man ❤❤❤❤
Why do the youth of today carry knives? Do they not understand the consequences or do they not care? My youngest is 17 and it’s so worrying when you see things like this happen to young people. It wouldn’t enter my sons head to carry a knife. He’s told me that you could be looking around catch someone’s eye and they ask you what the fxxk are you looking at. He’s never had a fight nor a confrontation but has witnessed his friend being set upon just for looking around. I just don’t understand the mentality something has to be done. Rest in peace young man my heart goes out to his family and friends.
Now all kids wanna look tough I hate this generation
I know, but nothing as horrendous as this I’d ever expect to happen in such a nice community. We were all shocked as it unfolded.
i mean im 20 and you still see it but governments too busy taking away our right to defend ourselves , america is to laxed with its laws letting kids shoot kids and we are too strict so they grab the kitchen knife off the table and if you defend from them youre in prison for 5 years
15 years old, out at 3pm on a Tuesday night... I'm sure he was a totally upstanding citizen, his parents kept in contact regualrly to make sure he's safe and was going to make an amazing member of society
i mean its 3pm where was he supposed to be
now thats sarcasm
ok so you probably thought that your comment was absolute gold, but clearly you can’t tell the time. 3pm is when school finishes in the afternoon.
3pm not am. 😂
3pm dear, you seem like an upstanding citizen as well .

26 knife crimes in West Yorkshire in the last year..6 teenagers 😢 horrendous
Black or brown?
We need discipline in schools and homes and a government with balls to sort this problem out .
So sorry!😢💔
At least give us some description, are they British? What colour are they? What religion do they follow?
He's not white, if he was they'd have his full family tree up by now
Black
White and Christian.
@@stephenjon3502Not true. The victim was White and the killer was Black.
@@warwickscram1656Obviously my comment went over your Stone Island cap. What does it matter what colour THEY were? Someone has lost a son, that’s all that matters.
Really sad. Apparently he was a really good lad waiting to pick up a younger child from school. Horsforth is a ‘Posh’ area. Surprised by this happening there
Just looking at pictures of him along with info that he's been expelled from a school in the past, he surely brought this on himself. He just looks like that council estate scumbag type.
Yet another one ... 😢
So sad 🙏
More children who grew up without any parental or school discipline.
God bless your soul and give your family strength. 🙏
Stabbing was never a part of our culture . Yes people did get stabbed back in the day but it was very rare. I think like many things our governments have lost control of our country & its people . Just like they have lost control of our borders. There is not one person in any our governments strong enough to deal with any of it!.😢😢😢
Knife crime was rampant in the 70s with mods and rockers. Before that teddy boys carried flick knives. So yes, it was also in OUR culture.
R.I.P. Condolences to the family.
Diverse ??
When will the police get back to preventing crime? Dozens show up after an incident.
RIP 😔😪💔🙏✝️Deepest condolences to family & Friends 💔✝️ . These acts are insane and its truly sad Families are broken by these heinous acts of insanity.Praying for all concerned 🙏💔
Another teenager 😢 condolences to the family .So sorry to the victim who's life wiped out .horrific for yet another family 😢
💔🙏🏽🕊 awful.such acts of senseless,brutal violence & loss of life.broken Britain. ❤❤🙏🏽🕊prayers to family & friends.
Peaceful community strikes again...
We're taking over
Maybe coloured, they usually carry out knife crime.
Get lost with your lies and poison
My goodness not Leeds, how sad condolences to the family
Lets play guess the ethnicity
Haven't seen police officers searching any kids around London and Croydon so it's no surprise that this has happened YET again.
Disgraceful policing!!!!!!!!!!
Let me guess
Is ther any discripshon of the merder
Start educating your children
Rip young lad. A disgusting country we now live in were life seems to mean nothing
"a state is no better than its leader".- Man in the High Castle

Where are the police..you never see them.. the bad people now have the upper hand.. if you don't have a robust manner of policing with police officers walking the streets.. not driving..how do they get to know the people in the community who expect to be protected from crimes like this..
Rest in peace
So scary to have kids nowadays… knife crime is out of control :( what kind of monster does such thing? Condolences to the family and may the aggressor rot in prison . 🙏🏻

Leeds. Who would have thought. Sad.
Sorry but the country is in downfall & totally lawless, police need to go to schools to educate on knife crime & also offenders that are serving time & were gang members etc educating them & maybe even visit prisons as a scare deterrent like in America so they can see where they will end up, the poor kid won't be the last unfortunately as our laws are a complete joke, we really need to bring back NATIONAL SERVICE NOW
It's the police that's the problem. Bunch of jumped up little 6 Stone mugs
National service would only apply to the natives , all other ethnicities would claim racism and discrimination and would be kept away from the fight
or just give us the right to defend ourselves again imagine if the boy who died had a weapon to defend himself with and was properly informed on its use dont think he would be dead
@@user-vu4xr4ej7xbut the othe person might of been dead ...so how would that help? It'd just swapping one dead boy for another
@@user-vu4xr4ej7x defeats the object, so your saying kids should arm themselves with blades etc ? to stop being stabbed, you will have kids dying every week, if a kids being bullied he could just pull a knife,no you educate them & make the consequences so hard that they think twice
What is the race of the victim and perpetrator?
Another utter waste and all over wot??
Condolences to the family. With the benefit of hindsight, I sincerely hope that lessons will be learned this time and knife safety laws will be reviewed thoroughly and vigorously to ensure that this doesn't occur again on UK soil. Prayers, vigils, resolve and meaningful dialogue, not the usual lip service given by opportunistic career politicians or useless Mayors
By looking at his photo. The boy looks like he a bully.
how can you tell from a photo that he's a bully. please explain?
10 points to anyone who guesses the ethnicity of the perpetrator…
What is wrong with these children nowadays they have no repect for lives or anyone
Soo what are these taxes are spent on... Cameras and police presence... and also ... its usually few bullies that affect whole school its been a issue for at least two decades RIPto the victim I can't imagine what mother or hes colleagues must feel
Blame the parents.
Half of them have mothers who don’t even know who the father is!

Wow normal in London but don't expect it up North..
Knife crime per 1000 head is higher in Cleveland than London.

This is what happens when a nation turns its back on God!
In 1904/05 Wales was called 'The Land of the White Gloves' why? Because there was a revival, many turned to God through Jesus Christ and in the court rooms at the time, if a judge has no cases to preside over, he would put on white gloves. During the revival there were hardly any crimes being committed!
These days there are crimes being committed all the time because the nation has forsaken God's Law and kids are taught we evolved from nothing and life is worthless!
