TrickTT Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/southern_counties/4390038.stm 5 drunken teenagers steal a car, injure an innocent cyclist and wreck someones garden and get killed in the crash and we're supposed to feel sorry for them and somehow blame the police. I feel sorry for the cyclist I feel sorry for the people whose house they wrecked I feel sorry for the bloke who hasn't got a car any more As for them: GOOD - I'M GLAD THEY'RE DEAD!!! Means my car and house are now that little bit safer. I've seen this story in a couple of papers over the weekend, all with the same take on the story and i'm beginning to wonder if i'm alone in wishing there was a few less drunken, theiving morons in this country. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 It is sad that people lost their lives, but the police are in no way to be blamed. The roads will be safer without idiots like this. They took their chances and paid the ultimate price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 they talked to the family and friends on the news and I have to admit I feel even LESS sympathy for them after hearing the interview. To say they are stereotypical anti-social 'type' family is an understatement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_M Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 It's a bit harsh saying that you are glad they're dead :thumbdown however I do agree that it was purely their own doing. Police should not be held accountable for this accident and subsequent deaths as it was these kids that stole the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 what speed were they doing then. and metros are not a car to be in an accident. more blame to the driver, then the passengers, they had no control after they hopped in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annan Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I agree As darwin said its survival of the fittest and pissed chavsters who drive and run out in the middle of the road, play chicken with trains and end up splattered means that their chav gene can't be passed onto the next generation(thats if they already have not bred 5 kids by the time they are 13).

GeordieSteve Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 They problem. Sorry for not feeling sorry for them but if they weren't such thick theiving wankers then they wouldn't BE dead. Someone almost stole my mkiii Supra last year and I so wish they'd got away in it.... 3.0 turbo, RWD, no TC, flat back tyre and snow... go for it fuckwitts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Sad for the passengers but should have known better. Although, how many times have people done a similar thing and got away with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Sad for the passengers but should have known better. Just what I going to say. Some of them must have just gone along with it because they were with their mates ,I would definately blame the driver and whoever broke into the car and got it running.

tbourner Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Just another case of the media putting thoughts into the minds of the people. Guarantee the majority of the public will 'adopt' the idea that the police acted badly or did something wrong, purely because they read it in the paper. Forget nanny britain this is sheep britain.

Alex Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 No sympathy here... Well other than for the guy who's car was nicked and the person knocked off the bike etc - oh and the emergency services that had to clear up the mess. It's funny how when the idiots die A) They instantly become model citizens B) were little angels C) Never touched alchohol before D) and that their deaths will be blamed on someone else.....I mean for gawds sake who put that wall there!!!

michael Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I hope the next lot take a double decker bus, fill it full of their dodgy car stealing friends and do the same, it's better than spending millions of pounds putting them through a justice system that is incapable of imposing a sentence harsh enough to put anyone off in the future. Anyone who says this is a tragic event would be reacting in a totally different way if it was their car that had been taken. The Police should be allowed to force these people into walls, with that threat hanging around maybe it would put people off in the first place.

tbourner Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 The police are supposed to give up a chase if it goes over 100mph, or over double the limit in built up areas. They just tell the controller that they're not going that fast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_y3k Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 ok so daddy says : Mr Carwardine described his son, a trainee mechanic from St Leonards, as a good boy. .... should read : Mr Carwardine described his son, a trainee mechanic from St Leonards, as a good boy. unless he's stealing cars and tanked up on alco pop's ?

They just tell the controller that they're not going that fast though. Unless its American where they ram them off the road which always makes me laugh. Overall I think this case could of been so much worse if they hit another car rather than a wall. I dont really have any sympathy for them what do you expect?

JohnA Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Sorry, but am I supposed to feel sad whenever car thieves get hurt? If the law was less laughable, the parents of these 'kids' would all be liable for the damages. But are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 There is a law about video'd evidence not being admissable in court, if this law was changed I think some of the yoof's would start getting banged up when it comes to your word against theirs.

CJ Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 As the song says, "We're all someones daughter, we're all someones son". I haven't seen the interview with the family but regardless of their atitude or demeanour, they are currently hurting more than (hopefully) any of us wil ever know. Do I want revenge on thieving bastards. You bet! Do I want the revenge to be death? I dont think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey3 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 CJ. Death is a harsh punishment for theft of a car. I know if it was my car I would want to beat the living daylights out of the thieving chavvy b*stards, but death does seem a bit extreme. And I don't think 5 kids dying and the grief that their families are gonna go through would make you feel good if it was your car. That said, if they hadn't have knicked it in the first place, they would still be alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - their deaths are a waste...and if they have any sense other people inclined to do what they do will think twice after this. What were all saying is that they are probably going to blame the police...cause it can't just be their fault....it's a blame culture, not enough people take responsibility for their actions or accept that a loved one's actions were wrong.

CJ Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I agree Alex. What I took exception to was the first post with the very large wording that proclaimed "I am glad they are dead". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 The death of the car thieves was not 'punishment' It was a direct result of their actions. Their parents should have spent more time teaching the 'kids' how to behave, rather than cry over spilled milk now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
