Schoolboys aged 12 and 13 have been arrested after brutal killing.  Yawn ,, again?

The bastards seem to get younger and younger.
A generation out of control?  Maybe not the whole generation, but a large number of feral unfrightened and murderous “youths” have made this a very unsafe place to be.

Two schoolboys aged 12 and 13 have been arrested over the death of Amar Aslam, the teenager killed in a brutal attack in the walled garden of a park.

The battered body of 17-year-old Mr Aslam was discovered by two passers-by in Crow Nest Park in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, on Sunday evening.

Officers originally arrested two boys aged 15 and a 20-year-old man in connection with the death, West Yorkshire Police said today. They remain in custody.

Today two boys aged 12 and 13 are also being questioned about the assault which is thought to have taken place amid running battles between gangs of youths.

Mr Aslam, who died from head injuries suffered in a “sustained and brutal” attack, is the 29th teenage victim of the latest surge in youth violence this year.

His local Labour MP Shalid Malik called for the authorities to get a grip on the growing “phenomenon” of youth-on-youth violence.

(how about a curb on the violence being done to everyone? how about NOT giving bail to violent creeps who kill while on bail? oh, can’t be too harsh on em or their lawyers will scream civil rights.)

The Bank Holiday weekend was marred by the murders of two teenagers; a further two were shot, two stabbed and three youths arrested for serious assaults and stabbings – all in separate incidents across the country.

Violent crime carried out by children and teenagers has gone up by a third in three years and the Conservatives have said the Government’s £3 billion plans to try to cut teenage crime were a failure.

Uanu Seshmi, a youth worker and campaigner with the From Boyhood To Manhood Foundation, said “drastic action” – such as curfews and increased stop and search powers for police – had to be taken.

“We are dealing with a monster here, but we have to look at ourselves as adults to understand what young people are faced with,” he said.

“It’s not going to be easy – but there must be zero tolerance on this.”

(zero tolerance.  right.  been hearing that phrase for many years.  do not expect to see it in my lifetime. or yours, dear reader.)

Tony McNulty, the Home Office minister, attacked comments made by Sir Al Aynsley-Green, the Children’s Commissioner, that stop and search tactics by police could further antagonise people.

“He is plumb wrong and miles away from where the public are,” he said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
