Yet another kid dies.

Firstly i pass on my condolences from the heart to James family, relations and friends.

I used to work as a Police Officer in London from the 70's to 1999. I worked in several areas including Brixton, Clapham, North London and eventually Streatham. The use of guns to committ murder has become so common that it no longer makes the front page, we no longer gasp at such crimes. I am glad that I no longer work as a police officer as I found it increasingly difficult to accept yet another youngster died in a hail of bullets and little has been done to deter people from carrying guns or knives. Amnosty bins....fine but wheres the deterrrent after...the mandatory sentence. Guns are know becoming fashion accessories. It has to change.

I hope in time the grief eases for all those near to James, his mother, father, brothers, sisters and family. Unfortunately to the rest of us poor James at the young age of 16 will simply become a statistic.

Disgusted

I think who ever killed this young innocent young man who was out having a good time with his freinds should be locked up 4 life and have the key thrown away!!!

Also the person who killed this young man, do u know where your son or daughter was that night?

Jamie (none) February 5, 2007

This is rediculous! If this is black on black crime then it needs to stop or anything to do with gangs because you are makin the world more unsafe and ppl r startin to doubt. So the killer or killers need to stand up tall becuase if they were BAD they wud learn to live wit the consquenses. anyways RIP James and i hope your with your family lookin down on them always. Such an innocent yound man only at the age of 16.. this needs to come to an END!
