One thing I will never understand is how tiny phone cameras can get such high quality images but CCTV for years has been too poor quality to identify countless criminals

[@HotEatTheFood]

If you want a case where the cctv basically solved the case, look up Grace Millane.

[@Commenter839]

It's because CCTV is constantly recording 24/7, while your phone is not. It takes up too much space to record in HD 24/7, so they video quality is lowered as a compromise. Maybe someday in the future this issue could be fixed, but for now we aren't there yet.

Even if the police catch the perpetrator that doesn't mean the danger is gone, people send friends from prison, friends of the attackers may hold their own personal grudges and go to seek revenge.

Champion sadly got caught wrong place wrong time and had (presumably) no idea Shaquille stabbing someone even happened. Shaquille was wrong for being in a gang but we don’t know why he got into gang culture, it’s huge in London and the rap scene. People get wrapped up in the wrong circles, and that people have to be careful of who they hang around and this is a prime example of what can happen.

[@Ty-gc6tk]

people in gang scenes become notorious very quickly and i can certainly guarantee that those 2 events didn’t help shaquille’s reputation. he was probably terrified of saying the wrong thing and having people on his back.

[@KlSSES]

@@Ty-gc6tk i can understand that but his bestfriend literally DIED. and besides that, the police could have kept him in their protection if he told them the truth. sorry, but if my bestfriend died for ME and i’m scared 2 say anything because of my own safety, i’d consider myself a bad friend and a bad person.

[@Ty-gc6tk]

@@KlSSES i have watched people die and the fear that takes over a person when you have to relive that is unmatched. also shaquille could’ve got into more trouble as he was in a gang, police are shit at protecting people especially in the uk. we don’t know if shaquille regrets not saying anything as he’s never openly spoken about it. it’s the kind of mentality people in the scene have and although you may think differently if you were in that position, it’s what they’ve always known.

[@KlSSES]

@@Ty-gc6tk he could have tipped them anonymously or something like i wish he did something... just anything. him staying silent just irks me. people around him are hurting and suffering and he’s just thinking about himself... being selfish. idk that just rubs me the wrong way. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@millykay3209]

While I can understand Shaqueel‘s fear of his life, if my life choices ended up being the reason of one of my friends deaths I would give up any information possible to help bring them justice without even thinking of the consequences it could have on my own life because I would feel totally responsible for their death, I couldn’t live with myself knowing I was responsible

[@qiralyncassette]

But its not just your life you are risking but your families too. Thats how they get people to stay silent. Would you risk your families life? Your siblings? Your parents? Neices? Nephews? For justice? They won't just go after you for snitching but your family, you'll be made into an example of what happens to snitchers.

[@ck4451]

The best friend is a rapper called Villz is in the BCM gang champion was in the gang too they've had beef with southside newham since like 2007 after someone got killed. They were both in the gang so he couldn't snitch and most gang members want retalliation instead of sending opps to prison

I know exactly what his mother was going through in that moment. My 30 yr old son was murdered 7/28/19. What goes through out minds instantly & simultaneously is pain, denial & all those stories of people who have woken up out of comas & even the rare situations where they squeeze your hand & wake up even after they have been pronounced brain dead. There's a famous case of a father who was being urged to pull the plug on his son so he went to his truck & got a gun. When he came back in he chased all the medical staff from the room with the gun & desperately held tightly to his boys hand. But a miracle happened & his son squeezed his hand, not twitched, squeezed it. So the father started yelling for staff to come quick his boy was alive! He's awake! Look at him! The security came rushing in & tackled the dad but all the while he's given up & yelling urgently for them to look at his son. Whe. They did his son was looking back at them & moving his head like he was trying to talk but the tubes were stopping him. It's true stories like these that we parents cling to desperately when faced with the death of our child.

This is similar to the Kiyan Prince case. He was a 15 year old aspiring footballer who played for QPR and he was stabbed outside of the training ground. QPR ended up naming their stadium after him and a foundation has been set up and has also been remembered in popular video games such as Fifa

If you're looking for more knife-related cases, while it might not be from the UK, the Echirolle (France) case of Kevin Noubissi and Sofiane Tadbirt means a lot to the region.

Yet, this is the first time hearing about this case.

[@ninavale.]

I always admire single parents. Raising child or children is a monumental task all on its own. Doing it solo just makes things even more difficult. You have to work more since its just one source of income, you have to take rolebif two, and at the same time try and be there for the kid. In case of more than one its aso the case of dividing time between them. Its a lot, and sometimes you can't rely on the other parent for child support.

Any life loss, especially preventable ones are truly tragic.

Like I said any loss is absolutely terrible. I deeply hope and pray his family is able to turn this loss into something positive(I know there is nothing positive about someone being taken away from their loved ones. But I hope it's understandable of what I mean) and able to achieve his dreams and goals.

Case suggestion: it’s recent and unsolved This family my family used to know is involved in an unsolved murder case. The Murdaugh family is a prominent political family in rural South Carolina and Alex(the father) came home 3 months ago to find his wife and son shot dead. Some people think this is a political target attack but after a week or two the cops and civilians began to suspect Alex. Just yesterday Alex allegedly was changing a tire on the side of the road and was allegedly shot in the head by a car driving by. He surprisingly is fine since it wasn’t a powerful gun and he can still function and talk. Some people thing this is a cover up to deflect the blame off himself. I also forgot to mention that a few months before the son died he got in a boat crash and killed a young women. Some people have theories that they might be connected to the murders.

It seems a lot of people don’t understand gang culture. Just because Shaq didn’t “snitch” doesn’t mean he wasn’t planning on getting revenge. He probably would’ve sought out his own form of “street” justice. It’s never ending. The whole situation is fucked as it always is with these kinds of crimes. The most tragic part of gang violence is that you don’t actually have to be part of a gang to fall victim to it. You could live on the wrong estate or be friends with the wrong person or just LOOK like the wrong person and that could cause you to lose your life. People killing each other over _petty_ beef and the cycle just keeps on going. It’s so sick and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
