Anyway, moving on....

Whta annoys me to death about this and other associated problems is the weakness of the Government to do anything about it.
It was, when it was a huge issue there in the late 80s and early 90s. Moss side was the first thing that came to most minds when the words guns and gangs were mentioned. Now its synonymous with most cities and beginning to filter into towns too.
Croxteth and Norris Green are notoriously gang riddled, and I experienced (as i mentioned here more than once) how little the police react to it, which is why I moved from the fringes of Norris Green. As it stands these problems will get worse before they get better. Its beyond journalism, its a real problem and needs to be taken seriously.
The 'laser light' does indeed sound iffy, but we all know that its a reality that there's kids running around with guns, and carelessly using them. Don't we?
