This. Young lad is a product of his scumbag/useless dad who never worked and set a rotten example. Had he been reared in a house where his father was a worker, it would have been a different scenario. We are all victims of our upbringing.

Plenty of single mothers in ireland with sons in the last 40 or 50 years. Most of their sons are NOT scumbags. It's mostly the ones with scumbag mother's.

The ones that live in deprived areas are at a huge disadvantage though. Manys a lad with a good mother who met the wrong sort at school and started lying to the mother only to end up, up to his neck in scumbaggery.

In fairness all big cities are the same because of the price of property.

All those areas in London are traditionally ****holes, but the only places anyone could dream of affording property so you get that bit of gentrification going on. A bit like the hipster **** in Stoneybatter and the Liberties.

The real high end addresses in London - Chelsea, Kensington, Chiswick, Primrose Hill etc - you won't see a scrote in sight. Plenty Arabs in Lambos.

I mean Peckham ffs we all know what that was like thanks to Only Fools.

I tried my best not to bite here but Holy **** that is some ****e, a stong PARENTAL figure will show them right from wrong doesn't have to be male,

the problem is the mother's that dont give a **** and are happy to have the peace and quiet of the lad out of the house for a few hours regardless of where he is.

Further to that they are being scumbags in an environment created and contributed to by their MALE relatives, uncles, cousins, god fathers, what ever the ****, blaming one parent over the other is like the chicken and egg story and its just pointless even using it here.

These are the next generation of lads that had their brothers in prison and their uncles shot amd their brothers run drugs and they are desensitised angry and easy targets for gang recruitment not because their mams are single or not or are not raising them properly they literally know no better they dont want to be poor they want the easy money and this is how you get it.

Given your argument any child that loses a parent in any circumstances then goes on to be a drug dealer is it cos their mothers can't rear them what are ya on about. They know right from wrong they are choosing wrong.

And again so much emphasis on kids here cos this lad was 17 they love that in the media. a 17 year old who has been taking drugs and being a corner boy since he was pre teen is not the same as a 17 year old in normal circumstances.

Children raised by single mothers are more likely to fare worse on a number of dimensions, including their school achievement, their social and emotional development, their health and their success in the labor market. They are at greater risk of parental abuse and neglect (especially from live-in boyfriends who are not their biological fathers), more likely to become teen parents and less likely to graduate from high school or college. Not all children raised in single parent families suffer these adverse outcomes; it is simply that the risks are greater for them.

Poverty and Deprivation Statistics
The Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) 2018 and 2019 results showed that lone parents in Ireland have the second highest rate of income poverty, persistent poverty, and severe deprivation among all EU-15 countries.

Lone parents are still struggling to meet the costs of living for themselves and their children. This includes the basics such as housing, food, heating and clothes.

According to David Blankenhorn,[20] Patrick Fagan,[21] Mitch Pearlstein[22] David Popenoe[23] and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead,[24] living in a single parent family is strongly correlated with school failure and problems of delinquency, drug use, teenage pregnancies, poverty, and welfare dependency in the United States. Using multilevel modelling, Suet-Ling Pong has shown that a high proportion of American children from single parent families perform poorly on mathematics and reading achievement tests.[25][26]

In Sweden, Emma Fransson et al. have shown that children living with one single parent have worse well-being in terms of physical health behavior, mental health, peer friendships, bullying, cultural activities, sports, and family relationships, compared to children from intact families. As a contrast, children in a shared parenting arrangement that live approximately equal amount of time with their divorced mother and father have about the same well-being as children from intact families and better outcomes than children with only one custodial parent.[27]

The United Kingdom Office for National Statistics has reported that children of single parents, after controlling for other variables like family income, are more likely to have problems, including being twice as likely to suffer from mental illness.[28] Both British and American researchers show that children with no fathers are three times more likely to be unhappy, and are also more likely to engage in anti-social behavior, abuse substances and engage in juvenile deliquency.[29][30]

It was bit more than a banger. Definitely covered by firearms laws anyway.

Hopefully they caught the scumbag and his two buddies. No doubt they'll be stupid enough to post it on Instagram or whatever anyway so it'll be only a matter of time.

The other protester that was hit with it was blessed that the copper pushed him at that split second or he would have taken it straight to the face at almost point blank range. Went down like a sack of spuds.
