On one hand, we have last week’s EDP talking about the impending turf wars between Last Man Standing, Above the Law and the NR4 Crew with the underlying editorial suggesting the problem runs much deeper than many realize.
On the other, an article from the local Muslim Community suggests Last Man Standing consists of precisely 3 black teenagers with a love of r&b and a loud radio who have been unfairly targeted by Plod. (As in, stopped and questioned over 50 times in the last 2 months).
So, what’s the truth, blood? Will areas of Norwich really become ‘no-go’ zones? Is there a postcode war? Or is the EDP simply scare mongering?

<Nah, I’m not a journo>
I'm declaring war on the whole of the cb7 postcode.
LMS are just a bunch of black chavs who record shitty music on their phones and call it grime... they're all just a bunch of pussies really. One of them always wears a hood up because he's got these two huge hearing aids on the side of his head - the sign of a real G.
I’m disappointed, the EDP led me to believe the mean streets of nr2 were home to knife-wielding, uzi-packing brothers who’d cut off my feet to get at my new sneaks.

theres always gonna be gay little gangs in city centres, if by 'gang' you mean they do laps round the city on peds or in old clios, hang around outside tescos metro, fight with each other for no particular reason etc.
norwich gangs? come on, its not luton or anything. gangs usually involve drugs and guns, not many shootings in norwich is there? these are just norfolk bois who wish they were black and had money.
Umm, so it was a slow news day for the EDP, then? We’re in no danger of crack-dealin’, gun-totin’ tools taking our streets, just a couple of blokes with hearing aids and orthopedic shoes?
Cheers, guys, time to troll the fuck out of the EDP forums.
There's wide boys everywhere and you're only really at risk of getting a kicking if you a) go out looking for trouble or b) are a member of a rival 'gang'......
Anyway, this is Norwich for fuck's sake not The Bronx or Compton......
Blowing it out of proportion maybe, but what do the EDP have to gain from scaremongering (except maybe trying to make a slighly more exciting news story)?
I'm with the comment about drugs etc being the reason for gangs, as far as I can tell all our gangs do is throw up shitty tags here and there and maybe scrap with eachother outside The Talk on a Friday 'cos they don't have school the next day. I maybe wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary thus far. (That's not an invite to prove me wrong, you little scratters. Boy, I sure hope I haven't dissed anyone)
I remember when they attacked the Catherine Wheel. What a load of cunts.
Remember reading about that at the time.
Didn’t they steam the pub, mug everyone in it and threaten the landlady’s daughter, or summit? I admit I lol’d at the time, cos it was just a bunch of goths, but – really – how does that happen? How many of them were there? I can’t imagine NOT having a go back, tbh, whatever the consequences.
Sure, pride comes before a fall, but have some self-respect, ffs.
