Cocaine.

I'd lay the blame there, at least a large portion of it.

It's a shit drug for dickheads. Some of my mates do it, time to pack it in and get off once you see it come out cos its just going to be boring one sided convos where they rabbit on about bollocks. Admittedly sometimes entertaining but you try being a drummer when the rest of the band has had a line, like trying to walk a bunch of rabid pitbulls straining at the leash ;D

Murder in Prescot last night, 29 year old out for a few drinks, on his way home. Group of c*nts on scramblers start giving him and his girlfriend abuse and when he tells them to leave them alone one of them stabs him in the neck and he dies. Things are getting worse, more needs to be done. Absolutely sickening

Knew the lad personally and he was one of the nicest lads you'll ever meet and now he's dead because some scally c*nt thinks he's mad with a knife and can't take being told to stop abusing a couple
Shite again taking life. Fucking hate them.

Is the poison that is ruining so many things in this city. I can't speak for past generations, but on a night out now (even down the local) it seems that the majority are taking it. It stops me from wanting to socialise because most of them cant handle it. I don't look down on people taking drugs as such, but when you are taking that shite and ruining everyone else's fun then it becomes an issue.

I don't think people quite realise how endemic the use of cocaine is in this city now. It is everywhere. People who I never thought would go near the stuff cannot have a few pints without taking it. From what I gather from friends who take it, the purity is increasing all the time. Ah well, what can you do?

Another lad, 29, was stabbed to death in Prescot last night. It has been really depressing lately will all these gun and knife murders.

 This. It's absolutely everywhere. People have gotten more and more ballsy with it, too. Go to club or pub toilets and you'll see lads sniffing keys, not even in the cubicles. It's just standard practice these days.

 I used the stuff like mad when I was younger. After losing a family member earlier this year I went back to it quite a bit but snapped out of it soon enough. It's fucking poison.

Cocaine.
Everyone does it now it's socially acceptable "the sesh" is rife and you're a bit of a weirdo if you don't partake. Wasn't as bad 5-6 years ago. Some lad I know that does it says the prices he'll pay here is really cheap compared to the rest of the UK. You can get 1g here for 20-30 in other places int the UK it'd cost you close to 80.

Was walking down Walton breck road towards breck road by the cabbage pub? Anyways one of the roads off Walton breck towards the end just before the pub a fucking Royal Mail van had been set alight and exploded.By the time the fire engines got there and put it out it was like someone had bombed it.Doors and bonnet blew off and engine exploded right outside someone's house.It was the street with the big houses that back onto georgesons cars.Asked police about it and they didn't have a scooby clue about what did it.Fire brigade said it was to far gone to determine what had happened.Was at the end of September this

Criminality is the deranged offspring of a flawed society. A society in which there are no principles and where authority is deemed to be an enemy rather than an arbitrator of prosperity and justice. Poor lad murdered for defending himself and his girlfriend. When human life, the most sacred thing is not respected, then our society is well and truly devoured of any decency. One murder becomes too many.

I hope 200 years from now the heirs of this world will look back and view murder and violence as a historically primitive thing. Just as we view burning women for witchcraft an absurd anomaly. We can only hope that human beings will collectively evolve into a sensible species.

As mentioned another murder.
Disgusting that it was just a member of the public walking home from the pub with a few of his mates.

More police seen in Prescot since. Big deal upping the presence only for in a couple of weeks them dissappearing again.

Crime has risen since the presence of police has dropped hasn't it?
Why are us citizens standing for it?

Apparently there is less police. They are the only contribution to keep us tax payers safe.

Scalls running little ten pound weed deals are clearly going to be less dangerous than the modern breed providing cocaine to a growing market at vastly larger prices. The level of violence and the number of gacked up loons on the streets increases to such a degree that these pointless murders , often over turf or being in the wrong place at the wrong time, escalate. It happened in Columbia, Mexico, USA and once cocaine is the number 1 drug of choice in Liverpool then we will see deaths on a very regular basis and a climate of fear around large parts of the city. This is before we have a Crack epidemic which will decimate our youth.

I saw a story recently, I can't remember where it was but the story really stuck with me as I thought it was pathetic. As I recall there had been a stabbing and the feeling locally was that the police had not done enough. The police response to this was to send out a tweet from their local account basically saying 'what do you want us to do, we only have 2 beat officers in that area' which I thought was pathetic. The cuts are one thing. They are wrong and us, as the taxpayers, should be protected and I understand and sympathise with how stretched the pubic services are but as the police, you cannot appear weak and helpless. You have to keep that shit in house because otherwise the scals will just do what they want.

The scalls are well aware there are no Police though. We're under GMP and crime across Greater Manchester has gone up by something like 39% due to the cuts. GMP has lost 2,000 officers. Then the Tory c*nts have the fucking cheek to hold their party conference in Manchester, costing £2 million in Policing and having to bring in officers from outside forces. Sack the conferences off and put the money into the Police you utter utter c*nts.

8500 less staff in the UK police force as of March 31st 2017 than there was March 31st 2015.

It's obvious too.
Feral little rats running around. Lads on scramblers going along Liverpool Road doing wheelies. Kids on bikes smashing house windows. Smackheads robbing houses and cars being stolen left right and centre all over the UK.

It's a joke that the people at the bottom have to suffer this fate and the fat cats sit in their Ivory Towers unaffected.

As has been said it's scary the use of cocaine in this city. I've taken it lots in the past but don't touch the stuff now so can been seen as quite hypocritical I suppose. but it's horrible to see. Even my local which is a quiet place has groups of lads going the Big together and taking the stuff. Lark lane has been ruined as a night out, allerton road too. The city centre is rife with it. Nothing will be done about it. We don't have the police in numbers to cope with it. something needs to be done. What can be done I'm really unsure but it puts me off going to town nowadays with mates etc.

That's my neighbourhood. Iam Sefton Park based. I haven't been down the lane for about 7/8 years for a night out. Maybe longer. It's all over Smithdown too. I only drink in the Willbow Bank these and that is only every now and then. That has the usual divvies on coke too. What makes me laugh is the secrecy. One of them is in the bog and their mate knocks on the door saying.. Our my ciggies in their lad ? Yes. Door opens.

I once told one of them straight. An old face Ive known for years  He was twatted abd speaking shite to me so I told him straight. " If youve been snorting lad fuck offf . I hate it ". His response was I haven't. He kept in denying that he had been snorting  so I hit him with this.

Either you've been sucking your friends dick in the bog or having a line ? Which is it ?

His response ... Ive only had a bit.

My response .. You best fuck off then.

Beak is a massive issue in this city, its been like that for years and yes, there is less and less fooks give by those taking it.

I've never even tried that shit, my mates have, but its not something I have any urge to try.

What gets me though, when I was in my late teens/early 20s, I knocked around with mates, but we never went looking for trouble. We had the odd scrap, but never ever did I consider stabbing someone.

What's wrong with these freaks. Gutted for the lad in Prescot, its somewhere I go all the time so its a bit closer to home.

True. I do my best to ensure my kids respect everyone, especially all the emergency services. Just because you grow up in a rough area doesn't mean you have to become a c*nt. I grew up on Tower Hill in the 70's and 80's, had a couple of minor run ins with the Police (teenage lad stuff) but my Mum and Dad brought me up to be a decent kid and then adult. No excuse for bringing up kids with no morals or shitty attitudes.

I know this is not about Liverpool but just more generally about society. I live in Croydon and a lad was stabbed to death last week outside the big Macdonalds on the high street. I ride past it Monday to Friday to and from work so riding home, I normally go past it between 5 and 6pm. The Macdonalds has 2 floors and is always packed. As the food is cheap and cheerful, it is a congregation area for teenagers and young adults alike so, alongside the people eating inside, you can often find in the evenings anywhere between 20 and 100 people of ages probably 13-21 outside. In the past year, there have been at least 10 occasions where I have witnessed fights (of varying degrees of seriousness) taking place outside there. There was a stabbing that originated from an argument in there about 3 months ago. Can anyone explain to me why, when Macdonalds makes absolutely billions of dollars/pounds of profit every year that they appear to be able to absolve themselves of all responsibility? The police have tried to a certain degree to contain it by having a visible show of force every now and again but they cannot be there every day. Surely Macdonalds, in this instance, should either have to employ security staff to manage their clientele (and those hanging around directly outside) or be threatened with closure.

This is the quote from the Evening Standard:

Murder squad detectives were today trawling through CCTV footage from a nearby McDonald’s restaurant for clues over the latest killing. Its manager Bukky Akerele said: “The police have asked for our CCTV which may have caught the killing.”

A 17-year-old at the scene told the Standard “a lot of people carry knives” for protection. He added: “You are constantly looking over your shoulder — it’s terrifying. This is what Croydon is now.

Where you have a situation where you have so many carrying knives and also providing an area where people who may be inclined to do so to congregate with no deterrent whatsoever, surely that is no different from covering the floor in petrol and just waiting for someone to light a match?

I think this is a two-way street though mate. I'm not going to sit here and rip the police, but in certain areas they exacerbate any problems with their attitude, approach and assumption of guilt with anyone they come across.

I've experienced it first hand. I understand it cannot be easy to be an officer, especially not if you are patrolling and working in areas where crime is rampant. But certainly from my view the police themselves do not help themselves or the situations they find themselves in.

True. I do my best to ensure my kids respect everyone, especially all the emergency services. Just because you grow up in a rough area doesn't mean you have to become a c*nt. I grew up on Tower Hill in the 70's and 80's, had a couple of minor run ins with the Police (teenage lad stuff) but my Mum and Dad brought me up to be a decent kid and then adult. No excuse for bringing up kids with no morals or shitty attitudes.
indeed, talking of the emergency services wasn’t there something a while ago about how there were more attacks on paramedics now?

Part of me thinks they should be a lot stricter on crimes committed by youths as that could prevent the little shits in society from acting out

I think this is a two-way street though mate. I'm not going to sit here and rip the police, but in certain areas they exacerbate any problems with their attitude, approach and assumption of guilt with anyone they come across.

I've experienced it first hand. I understand it cannot be easy to be an officer, especially not if you are patrolling and working in areas where crime is rampant. But certainly from my view the police themselves do not help themselves or the situations they find themselves in.
oh I totally agree, and the ones that do act like twats make it so much more difficult for the rest but alsofor society in general as they don’t fear being put in their place by anyone - some of the stuff young people come out with on twitter these days is a good example

does that sort of stuff tend to happen at other major fast food joints, as in kfc and Burger King as it only ever seems to be maccies that has this issue?

Maybe it does in other areas but here both the KFC and Burger Kings are smaller and have tram tracks outside so there is nowhere really to congregate outside. There are 2 other Macdonalds in the town centre but it is the big, main one that creates all the problems.

A few of my mates who I drink with are serving officers in Merseyside, they were telling me that when all that trouble kicked off in Concert Square with the German fans the other night, that practically every police officer in the whole of Merseyside was ordered to attend. They reckon the only two police patrols not there was one in Sefton and one in Newton-le-Willows.
Begs the question, what the hell would happen if something else kicked off in the meantime?!

Its almost like a perfect storm, cut the numbers of officers on the street yet crime is on the increase.

Never seen so many police cars as I did on queens drive after the game on Saturday, every officer on Merseyside rushing to Norris Green after one of  their own got driven at and injured by a knobhead in a white van. I understand and agree that they need to know the others "have their back" when it goes off, but I honestly counted 25 cars and vans with full blue lights and sirens.

There was a big shift with cocaine in this city from about 2005/6. It's all over the place .

 I don't like coke heads .

Iam being polite here.

I would say about 5 years earlier than that. I remember being at the millennium stadium and everyone was at it!

This is probably just a sound off, but it’s something I think is worth getting the opinion of others for so here goes…..

Since when did it become so violent in this city. Has it always been this bad or has the introduction of internet news, social media made it more visible that we simply cant ignore it.

Sunday night, 8.30pm and in my street in Page Moss I hear the screech of tyres. Nothing unusual about that, especially around ours, so I ignored it.
A few minutes later I hear a repeated banging in the street, like someone kicking a wheelie bin about. Looking out the window I was shocked to see five men in balaclavas armed with bats and machetes smashing a van to bits. The van belongs to a boyfriend of a young girl who lives a few doors up, the boyfriend apparently got out the jug a few months ago.

Being the good son that I am, I shot downstairs and told my mum to stay in the kitchen and I locked the door (don’t know why, but just to be sure).
After a few seconds the mob drive off and the jailbird come out with his family to survey the damage and screech and shout!

Apparently less than 30 minutes later and only a mile or so up the road, a 17 year old is shot in the head whilst riding on the back of a bike and ends up dead. His mate rode off and left him dying in the gutter. Fooking 17 years of age?

The same weekend in our city a 14 year old kid is stabbed after a fight in Concert Square, another fella is stabbed in the stomach in a bar in Santa Chupitos and the other day a fella ends up fighting for his life after someone used his head as a casey over a row about a taxi.
Throw into the mix countless windows getting shot out on a daily basis, Police finding guns and ammo hidden in gardens.

The thing now is, nobody is shocked or surprised about a kid being shot dead on a Sunday night, it’s a cliché but if this happened 10, maybe 20 years ago then it was huge news. What’s gone wrong since, is it a generation thing? A lack of respect for the people they share the streets with? Is it a case of they are nothing but shithouse cowards who cant settle a dispute with talking or fists, so resort to killing someone? Is it a case of the Police being overstretched?

I genuinely believe that its getting out of control, that the Police are struggling to control the streets, or is it a case that our city has always been this violent?


It's not getting out of control. These things have happened from time to time in every City.

I feel safer wandering around in Liverpool than anywhere else.
I love you all. Even Mancs x

That's my neighbourhood. Iam Sefton Park based. I haven't been down the lane for about 7/8 years for a night out. Maybe longer. It's all over Smithdown too. I only drink in the Willbow Bank these and that is only every now and then. That has the usual divvies on coke too. What makes me laugh is the secrecy. One of them is in the bog and their mate knocks on the door saying.. Our my ciggies in their lad ? Yes. Door opens.

I once told one of them straight. An old face Ive known for years  He was twatted abd speaking shite to me so I told him straight. " If youve been snorting lad fuck offf . I hate it ". His response was I haven't. He kept in denying that he had been snorting  so I hit him with this.

Either you've been sucking your friends dick in the bog or having a line ? Which is it ?

His response ... Ive only had a bit.

My response .. You best fuck off then.

Made my blood boil :no reading this tonight , convicted armed robber gets 14 years in 2010 but gets out on licence after 7 years , not out of jail that long amd is racing around sefton park were he hits and kills a 16 year old . Gets off and gives himself up after three days then is sent back to jail for the remainder of his term I presume for breaching his licence . Pleads guilty and the judge jails him for 8 years but it has to run concurrently with his old offence so in effect gets not a days punishment for the hit and run and only has to serve four years .

Obviously the judge isn't happy and cites his hands are tied until the law is changed in parliament . Cant even imagine how sickening this is for the mum and dad . Sometimes the laws of this land make you so angry

I'd lay the blame there, at least a large portion of it.

It's a shit drug for dickheads. Some of my mates do it, time to pack it in and get off once you see it come out cos its just going to be boring one sided convos where they rabbit on about bollocks.


Spot on. I've dabbled with and enjoyed most shit at some point or other, still like a joint most nights and the odd mushroom freak-out in autumn. Coke, though... fuckin shite. I'm a laid back chap, but that stuff gives me a rage that's almost unreal, like I'm someone else entirely. Scares the pants off me and I won't touch it at all - and if/when on a night out with mates and someone pulls a bag out, I know it's time to start booking a taxi. In days past, the group of us on a big drinking session used to have a few dabs of whizz through the day/night to stop us getting too far pissed. Some of my mates (and I'm sure other people do it for this reason) now beak a line for the same effect.

I was sickened by this ....a total backwardarse malfunction of the legal system ....the c*nt's a hardened criminal - an armed robber ...2 questions?....what the fuck was he doing out on licence in the first place?....and how the fuck can a law decree that whatever crime he commits while he's out on licence just gets incorporated into the existence sentence?......makes no sense whatsoever ....gutted for that kids family - a young innocent life snuffed out by a piece of filth....and no-one apparently is to blame

Then you hear stories like the plod who was tipping off an accident claims solicitor about crashes, getting 5 years.

The insurance company employee who put through fake claims and pocketed the money getting 34 months.

Numerous bank employees who've skimmed what is relatively less than pocket change for banks getting 2, 3, 4, 5 years.

Not for one second saying they shouldn't be punished and jailed, but the length of the sentences in relation to the sort of much lesser sentencing criminals get for assault, burglary, personal fraud - all crimes where the victim is going to be traumatised and impacted immeasurably more than a giant corporation - demonstrates how the law in the UK is skewed to protect the wealth of the wealthy, rather than protect the plebs.

Thing that gets me though is you can spot lads on it an absolute mile off. They’re cocksure and think they’re the business. But they’ve little control over themselves bumping into people and generally being twats. there’s unfortunately fuck all we can do about it though. A sad state of affairs to be honest. It’s become the norm. I’m very selective about places I go out now. Seems one by one every half decent bar gets taken over by these dickheads.

That article above...

How come he only has to do 4 years of an 8 year sentence if it's his second offence? I thought that was just if it's your first offence but looks like I was seriously wrong. Shouldn't he be doing the full 8 years?

Think every time you go to prison , to encourage you to behave Is the carrot of a shorter sentence . personally don't agree with it in instances like this . He should have gone back for the original time amd THEn started a new 8 year stretch for killing the lad .
