Another Operation Trident Success Story: 19 Year Old Nathan Foster Shot Dead in Marcus Garvey Way ...

Friends said father of one, Nathan Foster worked for a Lambeth Council funded project that provides activities for local children during the summer holidays and helps with homework during the school term. Youngsters said the victim had organised and played football games with them.

One witness claimed that an armed police officer had stood over the fatally wounded youth, pointing a gun at him for several minutes before the ambulance arrived.

Systematic killings like this couldn't go down in any other community. Man we're finished.

Were not finished, the good people in are community way out the bad

queen o - agreed but one bad weighs out the good of a thousand...or at least so it seems. It's why our collective progress is so drip drip, it just takes one bad to set back the effort of the good a decade or two.

We can’t let bad breed people let us down we must stand together. Things must get better

Yeah, I'm beginning to see the true meaning of this, things getting better is a best assimilation at worse death i.e. heaven. Too many have sung that song for nothing really concrete to come out of it. Our past heroes and sheroes are all turning in their graves.

Our armies are full of hypocrites with back against the wall wisdom (jail, babymotherism, corporate coons) who after having their fill become overnight militants trying to redeem themselves for the damage they helped create. For all their efforts they will depart this earth leaving the African plight it in a worse state than before they had their fill.

Things will get better, for the individual maybe, dare I say for those brave enough to leave these punks to their own demise. We need the equivalent of a Noahs Ark, find a new land and invite those who want to come and start again along. Just remember when you leave don't turn back to see babylon a' bun...you'll turn into a pillar of salt.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the shooting of a young boy in stockwell two weeks ago, well I was brought up in stockwell in the stockwell gardens estate, I never felt like I was in a ghetto, bad or dangerous area certainly not somewhere I could be shot or stabbed,

Now when I ask my seventeen year old brother why he carries a knife he say ‘’everyone around hear carries something to defend themselves this is the ghetto nothing good comes from here’’ my mum thinks the same,

People get shot and stabbed all the time, most of the time these victims don’t even make the local news. Sometimes I think to myself what happened to are community and are streets

This is why I always say thing must get better, soon and very soon the black community will see that the people of this county just don’t care about us and are development we’ll get together and start to see real change when we do the hard work starting with are kinds

If we do leave were would we go Africa or the Caribbean? Sometimes both places seem like Babylon, blacks are killing blacks all over the world. On the streets of London it’s called black on black killings in places like Africa it’s called war, same thing to me! At least in this country we have come kind of freedom of speech.

If I go anywhere it will be the Caribbean, it’s not paradise but it’s my cultural background.

I honestly don't know what to think or say about these events anymore. I am at a loss.

Is it us? Is it the system? I honestly don't know.

It’s a combination of the system and us, can we really say we’ve don all we can for the yout’s of today. Where are the fathers?

queen o - if it takes our black children to be killing each other for things to get better then the battle is already lost. If past abnormalities are anything to go by then getting better is something which simply gets morphed into something we call normal.

I hear you on the killings that don't get mentioned. I'm not sure but I'm beginning to suspect that the ones we do here about are the victims who do not have a criminal record. to be newsworthy the victim has to be seen as innocent or good/neighbourly. My friend buried his son a just a short time ago and media coverage on him seems to have stopped which I think is down to the fact he has a track record and is seen as the aggressor in his own death.

I'm of Caribbean culture/parentage but my heart is in Africa but looking at certain trends white people will be making Africa their home before we do...indeed many if not most Africans currently there are all looking to come here...some would say another babylon plan coming nicely together.

The violence is so close to home now you are no longer surprised if the victim is someone you know...even if it's a family member. If you look over time then I don't blame you if this is seen simply a new era dawning, crime and violence at this extreme will be an integral part of what the future will define as culture. The only time the system will clamp down is when the victims become predominately white and believe me, plenty innocent negros will get caught up in that cleanup exercise. Think Charles De Menzies, when the crunch comes our skin means we'll all be seen to be just as guilty as the ni$$er who pulled the trigger.

queen o - where are the fathers? the system has most of them in jail...like many of us outside of jail, the last thing the system is thinking about is our children.
