My Quest.

Hello.

At 11:30pm last night there was a shooting at Tulse Hill station in South London. A hot-bed for gang activity, it would be fair to assume that the incident itself and the local gang climate were somehow linked, although that hasn't been confirmed yet. What has been confirmed is that a 24 year-old is now in a critical condition and could become the latest in a string of killings to hit London since I moved down here around 1 year ago.

Unsettling to say the least, the shootings continue to be blamed on anything from a lack of social authority to the lyrics of the rap music scene. It all seems like we're looking for a simple solution to me, but then why bother looking into the bigger picture when there's a quick-fix to be had?

I'm a 24 year-old who lives in Tulse Hill. At approximately 11:30pm last night I decided I would start writing a blog again, as part of my big idea to break into the world of written media. It starts here.
