RIP Olivia Pratt-Korbel

Post by tiger76 » Tue Aug 23, 2022 2:31 pm

A 9 year old girl has been the victim of a shooting in Liverpool, seriously WTF is happening these days.

15 years to the day that 11 year old Rhys Jones was also murdered in the same city.

Words fail me, such a waste of a young life with so much potential.

RIP Olivia.

A lot of violent crime now taking place in Liverpool on a regular occurrence.

One of my buddies from Lpool says they’re all drug/poverty related…

I believe its about time to legalise drugs and take them out of the hand of these thugs.

Proper regulation & taxation that can be put towards education and rehabilitation.

RIP Olivia, sorry the world has failed you

There was another woman shot dead after people forced entry to her house, she wasn't the intended victim apparently.

In a sad twist, her half brother was also murdered in another case of mistaken identity back in 2015

"Recalled to prison" ...in some countries he'd be thrown into the village square for the angry masses to do their worst.
I've spent time living up the road in Bootle. There's a culture of people who are little more than kids cycling around terraces and social housing estates taking pot shots at houses occupied by people they've fallen out with. Drugs, rival petty gangs/general low life's. There is clearly access to firearms and with such indiscriminatory violent behaviour totally innocent people will continue to get caught up in the crossfire.

The people who don't want the harshest of deterrents don't live amongst them,nothing will change until we lock all murderers for their natural life,or execute them.

Totally agree.
My wife, who works with colleagues who live in the area where the little girl died have stated the same thing, whilst my wife was discussing this tragic case. The residents are all too scared to go to the police for fear of repercussions from the gangs. The most frightening thing is how easily they are able to get firearms so easily.

Good news. Let's hope they've got him. Seems like it's been a complex investigation so fair play to the police. They get some stick but are generally very good at solving serious crime.

I agree, but my relationship with scousers and the rest of the uk seems miles apart and obviously that’s down to me.

I’d rather have a 5 course with a ******* fan and a Leeds fan than be in the same restaurant as a scouser 😂

Granted there are a few wrong uns but, by and large, the world is not evil. Far from it.

There are things coming out that he was known to police as an enforcer for the criminal gangs of Merseyside. He had a reputation as a man who would use firearms. Are these stories correct who knows. The evidence against him seems far from conclusive. Lets hope they have the right man.
