Dad who split up fight in McDonald's shot dead (Brixton, UK)

A DAD-of-four who split up a fight in a McDonald’s was shot dead moments after being told he wouldn’t see the morning.

Raymond Mitchell, 34, had only popped into the restaurant to buy a hot chocolate. Advertisement >> Advertisement

But he apparently caused offence after splitting up two men fighting in the queue.

One of them, who had several gold teeth, shouted at Raymond: “You are gonna die tonight, you are not gonna see the morning.”

The thug is then said to have phoned an accomplice to fetch a gun, yelling into his mobile: “Bring me that thing.”

Raymond left the 24-hour McDonald’s but was chased into a cul-de-sac. The gun was then delivered and Mr Mitchell was beaten and pistol-whipped before being shot three times in an alley in Brixton, South London, at 6.50am on Sunday. Raymond, nicknamed Brown, was taken to hospital but died hours later.

One neighbour, who saw the shooting but was too terrified to be named, said: “He was begging, literally begging for his life. I didn’t dare look out my window in case they saw me. I heard them laughing and swearing at him, calling him a ‘b***h’. I heard them laughing afterwards as well.”

You would be wrong.

Recessions, depressions, anti-Catholic bigotry made jobs difficult to find, and the Five Points turned dangerous. Marriages collapsed. Youth gangs were formed, to create a sense of family among fatherless boys or as a means of self-protection against other gangs. A familiar New York story.
Those gang members often moved on to crime, a step that is not surprising either. Crime is not a job, after all, but it is an occupation. Some young Irish women – often abandoned by their men -- peddled their bodies to rich men on Broadway in order to feed their children. Others fell into alcoholism or opium addiction. But as Tyler Anbinder suggests in his study, the constant turnover in population told another story: many of the poor endured, worked hard, and then moved up and out of the Five Points.

You are comparing the modern criminality of blacks (and mexicans) to the Opium Era in Britain?

Seriously?

Home invasions, brutal beatings and rapes, not to mention killing and raping children, carjackings, murder for gang initiation, murder simply because of skin color, and so on. Seriously??

At the HEIGHT of their ignorance and power even the (Democrat) KKK was less injurious to public safety, health, morals and committed less crime than happens yearly in modern cities by so called “minorities”.

And let’s not forget the welfare cost, either. How much of all the is productive ends up as theft into the pockets of these inner city animals? Food stamps, services, medical care, drugs, and so on.

Nothing on Earth has ever existed like it. Wealth transfer that DWARFS the tribute paid to Roman Emperors to keep our animals in a mental cage.

War would be far cheaper in blood and coin.

How many cures for cancer, moon bases, rocket ships, fusion reactors or other achievements have been lost to taxation and wealth theft.

How many modern conveniences and productive endeavors (Store, shops, malls, businesses, transportation hubs) have not been built in these areas for fear that the animals would tear it down, burn it, rob it, steal from it, paint it with spray paint, and so on?

We would be far better off with King George back.

But I thought guns were illegal in the UK??

How is it possible a CRIMINAL could have one??

Prayers to this mans family.. it is far past time that Civil Society started putting these mad dogs into the ground instead of trying to understand their pain.
