Parents buying body armour for children after teen murders

QUOTE
A firm that supplies stab- and bullet-proof vests to government agencies around the world has sold 60 jackets, at a cost of between £300 to £425, to concerned parents who have flooded the company with inquiries after several murders of teenagers on London streets.

One mother, whose 13-year-old daughter goes to a school where a pupil has been shot to death, has saved up to buy her child of the best vests available after she was targeted by a gang of older girls. She is now saving up for another vest for her 11-year-old daughter who has also been abused by the gang.

“This is a consequence of having very little police presence on our streets and in our communities to detect and deter violent crime. While our police are tied up in red tape innocent children are having to wear police equipment to protect themselves. This is a very sad reflection on society under new Labour.”

Ms Batmanghelidjh, who was recently shot at in a drive-by shooting, added: “The violence is going to get worse. The Government thinks it is a policing problem but it is a social problem and the social services are at breaking point.

1. Wow...

Pretty soon the kids will need to go to school in armored cars in order to protect them from the dangers of the Gun Free Paradise.

3. Maybe if they are lucky, they can come here, where it is safe.

We are so lucky not to have such problems.
