Good lord. Certainly stirred up a hornets nest with this one didn't I.
CJ, I'm not reveling in or glorifying their death. I was just pointing out that a respected sunday paper (The Times - not known for its liberal views) and the BBC are treating the death of these people like its something we should all be sorry about and me, and most of the other people who've posted on this thread all seem to think its no great loss. I can see your argument for the punishment not fitting the crime but at the end of the day its better they all die than get a derisory sentence in court, then sue the police for somehow "causing" the accident. As I said earlier, next time they could hit something (someone) more important than a garden wall.
