   I suffer from some level of ptsd, i grew up in a gang infested neighborhood, from a young age i developt a gangster mentality, music played a big role on my outlook on life and the way i carried myself, i've been shot in the stomach, i've been shot at a few times from distances shorter than a couple yards away simply for driving on the wrong street, i've been jumped, beat up, chased through houses with an AX, stepping outside of my house and hearing the screams of families who just got their sons/brothers/fathers killed, seing dead friends laying on the street covered in blood, i tell my family about this "ptsd" i think that i have but to them im just crazy and need to snap out of it since it all happened long ago and im grown, i'm 25 now, i havent been in that environment since i was 18, but it still haunts me… im paranoid everywhere i go, i drive keeping a big gap from the car im driving behind or next to just in case i have to make a getaway , i have to be watching every car that surrounds me or passes by me to see who is driving what theyre doing and making sure they dont pose a threat to me, i cannot sit anywhere with my back facing the door, walking at night time has me on full alert/panic mode, i avoid certain places and i do not exit my vehicle before looking around first making sure everything seems okay first, if i even sence that something isnt right i leave the area no questions asked, i'm always vigilant, its hard explaing it to normal people because they look at you crazy, they just dont know. im tired and sick of always having the feeling like i need to be armed, i hate being alert and on my toes everywhere i go, i can never enjoy the moment because i feel something can happen at any moment and i need to be ready, if i catch someone staring at me i nodd my head at them as a form of respect if they dont nodd back i presieve them as a threat and all of my attention is on them with my hand on it ready to go, i play it off by just looking straight but my side eye is on them. Ive changed alot, i dint dress the same, i stopped shaving my head and my hair is now long, i go to college, i try my best to avoid conflict or drama or big crowds, road rage has been really challenging for me.. people that want to talk hard while driving not knowing what i have in my hand can end their life…its taken absolute power to hold back from losing my cool, i have things to lose now, and people i cannot let down, but everyday is a battle, i pray that some day i'll find peace.

   No more patience. It's time for good people to step up. Let's end gang violence by militia style. Let's genocide these cowards, take back our streets and our children's safety. I would feel nothing to find these guys murdered. Fuck the courts—-full scale malitia style takedown.

    Daaaaam, the police and government wont comment about the the lack of workshops and support ??? i myself have run a few workshops off of my own back and the council gave me such a headache that i had to give up. All was going very well and i followed all regulations.. I know the agenda, chaos is what they want.

    This is a product of the Labour government of the 90,s bringing African refugees to England. All those kids that came over are now men and creating havoc and mayhem on our streets. Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech has come true. They now need to be deported after they have served their prison sentence. Britain has built a rod off their own back and doesn't know how to deal with this problem. I'm black by the way.

    We need to stop demonising our young people that would be a start. Stop excluding them from society, give them hope, show them their lives are not a waste give them opportunity to do so. The problem is no-one wants to address the root causes as usual. The knife is the means and the stabbing victim is outcome but it's more complex than that many factors are the cause of the action so why are we not addressing these. We can increase stop and search, be tough on crime as is the Tories ignorant way of approaching these problems and continue banging our heads over and over against a brick wall. Or we can address the issues around poverty,deprivation,trauma, abandonment, poor education, unemployment, lack of opportunity, lack of social services that these young people are dealing with on a daily basis.

    Gang violence is our responsibility it's our choice no one can force you to do anything no one's putting a gun to your mum's head asking you to get active.. we all know someone going through yet we do nothing that's on us & we won't learn the damages till it's our kids on the stretcher screaming our names bleeding out everywhere and that is Just the fact of it there is no "system" that can affect us as such there's only our decisions .. your mindset can save you, set you free or end you permanently.

    So the government are trying to tell us how gang violence isn't their fault, and then brain wash the younger generation with all this grim music and social media to an extent we're they believe what they hear and see. If your going to have a child at least raise them right.

    This was a very informative video. People often assume that gang violence does not have mental health repercussions and the sad reality is that the have a lot and the sad thing is that, because of the cause of these issues, a lot of these people get ignored or told that they deserved it. Regardless of whether or not they were the perpetrators or victims, does it not make more sense to first deal with these issues before they continue to manifest and possibly further damage the person and society? Don't get me wrong, if they are perpetrators, they should pay for their crime but if they do not get help, at least those who want it, you will have a situation where criminals are just being put in a time out.
    Looking at the victims, the term 'gang violence' for a lot of people is like a dirty stain and some people will judge you or decide that you do not deserve sympathy or to get help simply because you have been touched by this form of violence. Additionally, all this separationist talk (Africans do this, Jamaicans under-perform, etc), stop right now. A lot of societies are multicultural and multi racial. That is not going to change. You truly want a better society? Understand that even these people who you consider inferior are humans and most of them are on survival mode. Psychiatric assistance and community support is the way to deal with this, not rejection and hatred.

    But if it wasnt the Jamaicans where would the other Islands & Africans be today, it was the Jamaicans (yardies) that stood up for Us in the 50s, 60s and 70s when the White British Teddy boys didn't want my Caribbean parents in England. NO BLACK NO IRISH NO DOGS – my JA people are Barristers Judges and Lawyers in LONDON so NOT all British Born Caribbeans Underperform you must be talking bout South London, come to Grove – Bush West London we Started the Notting Hill Carnival and Many Caribbean black boyz achieved Great things Education is KEY in the West Indies so what the Hell are you talking about?? Some Jamaicans bad but that's the Case in every culture – My family is from Antigua & Trinidad and I was RAISED with Jamaicans who LOVE the Lord and are Good Christians so please dont Generalize – My mother is a Carribean Doctor for NHS Mid wife, Bulllettttttttttttt!!!!
