    Oh the wonders of East London *sigh*

    It's weird, as where it happened, theres a great big giant Church - I can imagine God pointing down at them and saying 'Hey, I saw that'. So many murders have happened on this road over the past 4 years, you would think its some sort of battleground.

    That incident got me late home since I live about 5 mins away from there...

    Also when I used to go to my old secondary school, Aveling Park, this happened (which also happened on the same road). Scary thing was, is that my old school was on lunchtime, and since the school is practically placed on Chingford Road, one of my mate prefects got an award from the police from helping the murdered guy out since he was in the shop when it happened...

    Also I had random shootings a short while ago that closed the road down... again
    http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/sea...althamstow.php

    I also had some really sick (NSFW story) cannibal sicko disturbingly nearby too
    http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/sea...king_death.php

    lol This made me laugh though, that road is connected to mine so that also was super near. I can imagine some guy just doing it really quickly and seriously as he walks calmly elsewhere...

    AND my own road got shut down last year as someone at the end of the northern side of the road (I'm in the middle ) had a live hand grenade in his hand...

    I am also not exaggurating how close these incidents have been, I can even show you all on Google maps how I'm surrounded by all this...



    Point I'm trying to make? GET ME OUT OF HERE

    Hang on, the flasher is described as 'white, 26'... sure he's not 25 or 27?

    It's weird as my 6th form is an hours trek away by two buses, but the area is TOTALLY different to where I live. The ethnic domination, music tastes, education levels, it even looks a whole lot nicer :O It's like theres some kind of barrier that you go through when leaving this area...
