Voice readers, to end the culture of African-heritage youth and young men, from arbitrarily fatally stabbing their fellow African-heritage peers; radical Police policies are required to arrest a fatal practice, which has become a cultural norm amongst England’s African-heritage population.
The faster the Home Secretary instructs Chief Constables and the Met Commissioner to Stop and Search, and remove the knives and other weapons carried by England’s African-heritage youth and men; the quicker this epidemic of African-heritage fatal stabbings will be remedied.
England’s African-heritage parents: leaders, Elected Councillors, and MPSs, have displayed little public effort to stop our young men from carrying and using their weapons of death against their African-heritage peers.
