Letter: Trapped in the Granby Triangle
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Your article ("Gunfire across the Mersey", 23 April) claiming violence comes only from a minority did little to console those of us trapped within the Granby Triangle. It only takes one bullet to kill, and that "minority" is large, and growing.
The juveniles, youths and young adults not only will inherit this mantle but cannot wait to do so. Recently we aborted several attacks on pensioners by 10-year-olds wielding baseball bats. They are only a couple of years away from shooting a gun. And as for "future" acceptance of violence, the apathy here could kill as surely as a bullet. I'm told "it is no different anywhere". If I thought this were true I wouldn't wait for the gunmen; I'd do it myself.
