Among them was Sharon Kendall, whose 18-year-old son Jason Isaacs died after being ambushed by four assailants on mopeds as he walked to a friend's house in November 2017.
"The boy that killed Jason, he's in numerous YouTube videos and all they speak about is stabbing people in the back," she says.
"It's a massive thing, this drill music. I don't think it's the only cause, but it's one of the causes."
Several interviewees blame YouTube for disseminating violent videos without checks in place (a segment that's all the more striking when you learn that Terms and Conditions is being released under the YouTube Originals banner).Last edited by SueEllen; 18 July 2020, 05:35."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Blaming rap/drill etc music on violent crime is akin to blaming heavy metal for devil worshiping. The music doesn't cause the crime (not that devil worship is a crime as the devil doesn't exist any more than Santa Clause does ) it's the people that cause the crime. But ... that's not to say wannabie gangsters don't go to drill like moths to a flame, they probably do.

So its perfectly sensible to portray a whole race as a bunch of drug dealing, ho slapping murderers and of course believe no impressionable people will think its true. Some times warty you are a bit thick. This is a man who understands the situation explaining it, I'm willing to believe him.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
