Homer Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 'kin ell Jamie, you were mates with him We all joke about how wierd it is how some people from school turn out, but thats something else. It's been all over the news here, they're reporting him as a bit of a loner/couldn't care less sort of bloke. And to think he's had a hand in the murders of 8 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think he's had a hand in the murders of 8 people I would'nt say he was a loner but ive not seen much of him in the last ten years so could not really say, he grew up in beaconsfield and id normally bump into him every few months, i did hear he was doing well and had brought a new Porsche, now i know where he got the money:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's bad how some of your school mates turn out, one of mine got sent down for murdering a bouncer (stabbed to death), he was the 2nd year who showed me round when I first went to secondary school when I was in the 1st year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I heard last week some kid a couple of years below me at school is coming out of prison after 10 years.... for kidnapping!?

Scooter Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 .......if only he'd choosen a different path he could have modifed a legitimise source of death and be heading towards a healthy retirement plan.

Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You see, I'm a 1,000-pound marvel, a cluster bomb with an ingenious design. When I go off, a couple of hundred "bomblets" shoot out in all directions, aided by little parachutes that look like inverted umbrellas. Those 'chutes slow down the descent of the bomblets and disperse them so they'll hit plenty of what my maker calls "soft targets." Before that happens, though, each bomblet breaks into about 300 pieces of jagged steel shrapnel. Good article... horrible though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Crazy eh! What gets me is how they say "Life imprisonment. He has been told he'll serve a minimum of 11 years". I've been watching a TV show called Crime & Punishment which is about US court cases. They get "Life imprisonment", or if they're lucky, they get "74 years" instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 guns dont kill people people do No... its the bullet. Or, to be more specific (and pedantic) its the mushrooming of the frangible (soft point or hollow point) bullet caused when the bullet hits soft tissue and rips through the major organs of the body that kills people....... The rest is just merely preparatory Guns are in plentiful supply on the black market, its the ammunition that's hard to get hold of especially 9mm.... which has been effectively removed from the UK along with handguns.

DJButler Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 true but people like me and you wouldnt give other idiot people the chance to kill by not putting the weapons on the street Can't be any guns on the street, Tony Bl**dy Blair took em all off the streets after the Dunblane cover up, and some people still have not recieved the promised compensation. OOOPs must not get political!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 but the taking handguns off street decreased the 9mm ammo for that type of gun and was only the legit guns that got removed, i'm sure some scally with his black market glock didn't go to the local police station to hand in in because it was illegal, didn't the report say they found 2700 spent ammo in a soundproof firing range 2700 ! thats some testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Pah, that's nothing. The people on the front pages of our newspapers and BBC news pages for the last week were clients of ours. We fitted their house out with IT stuff and supplied their business (ULVA). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/7591523.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
