Got to work this morning to find out one of the lads i work with was stabbed and died from his injuries last night 🙁
Was only chatting and joking with him at 3pm yesterday and now hes gone !
16 yr old held in custody over his murder , utter scum !
RIP Alex
That's rough mate. Condolences.
Crap. Horrible. My condolences.
sorry to hear that, huge shock for everyone who knew him.
Saw that on the news this morning, terrible spate of it round here the last couple of weeks.
Sad news, condolences to all that knew the guy
This is the story I guess?

Sorry for your loss, OP
Poor chap.
Grim.

Heard about this earlier. Sounds like he was out with his mrs and it wasn't that late at night 🙁
RIP.
Knife crime is just such a senseless waste of life.

Yep out with his Mrs, it kicked off around 10.40 when he went to stop some lads kicking mirrors off the cars in the street, a 16 yr old pulled a knife on him etc

I think there's a lesson there... 🙁
its a hard feeling. talk to your colleagues.
One of the admin team in a place i worked died after she slipped and fell down stairs at home one weekend,
and a fella at the missus' was killed while riding home on his motorbike.
its a strange feeling afterwards. Hard to deal with. but talking is good.

yeah the lesson is to nip it in the bud, before a 16yo is walking around the streets with a knife.
Such an awful and tragic waste of a life and the misery that goes with it afterwards.
So sorry.
Bloody hell.
Stuff happens, and its getting worse
Just a huge waste of a life , and so sad for the familes and freinds left behind,
Horrible. And frightening. Any one of us could have ended up in that situation; it's not unreasonable to confront open vandalism of property. RIP Alex.
So sorry - saw the news, bet I only live a mile from where it happened. 🙁
Really sorry to hear this OP. Just such a waste. Trying to do the decent thing and this is the outcome for him. Condolences to his Mrs, you and the rest of his colleagues.
Horrendous. What kind of idiot carries a knife?
I wonder if it might be an idea to prosecute both parents of any offender up to the age of 21 as well as the offender him/ herself.
So sorry Stumpy. Just a few miles down the road for me...
If you need to talk just holler on here.

reading the story reminded me of '24hrs in police custody' the other night. young lad, carrying knife,altercation in corner shop, stabbed one of the shopkeepers, could so easily have had the same result.....
just seems all too common wiv da yoof of today innit bruv. yes, the programme even had to provide subtitles cos for some reason da yoof seem to talk like yardie gangsters these days innit. altho you didnt need subtitles for the ensuing no comment, no comment, no comment during the police interviews.
sorry to hear about your workmate stumpy, sad days.
Sorry to hear this.
So glad i moved out of Brum all those years ago.
Thou can happen anywhere really
some reason da yoof seem to talk like yardie gangsters
Yep it's all "ya get me blood".
Its sad whenever you hear news like this. One thing to remember is not all "yoof" is like this just a small percentage of idiots (like most things) causing the most trouble. In fact, in general, teenagers seem to be more compassionate and understanding than when I was one.

That's my experience too. Sorry for your loss.
Very sorry to hear this OP. Tough times.
