Gang violence in Manchester, England

Russell Jenkins:

ON THE grim streets of the notorious Langworthy Estate in Salford people fear that a running gun battle that claimed two lives and left two men injured is only the beginning of another bloody gangland feud.

Police in high-visibility uniforms swarmed around the rundown network of highrise flats and Victorian terraces yesterday in an operation designed not only to trace the killers but also to offer reassurance to those who call this area home.

Down the years casual violence has become a way of life on Langworthy as criminal gangs seek to wrest control from each other, but nothing had prepared its residents for the terrifying violence that broke out over several mad minutes on Sunday afternoon.

After the gun smoke cleared it appeared that the predominantly black gangs from south Manchester had once again tried to move in on the “white boys” from Salford.

Two would-be hitmen from a Moss Side-based gang, said to be of Asian or mixed-race appearance, went looking for revenge on a hoodlum they blamed for a city centre stabbing of one of their own. After opening fire on two men inside the Brass Handles public house on the corner of Edgehill Close and Fitzwarren Street they were chased by other customers and shot dead before they could reach their getaway car.

"chased by other customers and shot dead"

Apparently the "customers" were armed; in an Archie Bunker kind of way, this had advantages here. But it makes you wonder: who goes to a "public house" armed, and in what kind of neighborhood?

i'm not being funny, but have you actually ever been in moss side, or met any people here? I also wonder about your comment on diversity under your "modern tribalist" name... not that anyone reads these blogs, i think you have to think about how negative a message you repeatedly send out about "black youths" and gangs which you kind of talk about as synonymous terms... get a grip!

hello again, now i am being funny because i've looked at some of your other postings and also some of your links...

Not that it's any of my business what you think and do, and of course we all have the right to be and think however we like, I am really interested to know how it is that you've come to become a "modern tribalist" and what is a modern tribalist anyway, are you an advocate of white supremecism or white seperatism? Or don't you know the difference?
I'd be interested to know and engage into a debate with you over this, but then if you're just a simple minded racist scum of low intelligence and outdated arguments such as genetic chaos, then i suppose that you might be a little intimidated by me, and far be it for me to intimidate simple minded fools that are racist with no arguments or explanations why... but as i say, i'd like to hear what's brought you to think this way about other people.

What I mean by "modern tribalist" is that individuals are naturally drawn to people from their own genetic backgrounds whether you want to call these groups races, ethnic groups or anything else. This is true whether you are from a primitive tribe living in a tropical rain forest or you reside in a modern city. The news stories that I have gathered here show that greater ethnic diversity generally leads to greater ethnic conflict which I believe illustrates the tribal nature of humanity.

What really sends out the negative message is the high number of blacks youths who are engaged in violent crime. All I am doing is collecting news stories about it. If the crimes were not happening then I would have nothing to post.
