I would of thought that a few of us on here were not exactly angels growing up ..even though what the boy has done I don't think being killed is justice .. life is full of learning and mistakes and this is 1 mistake the boy wont be able to regret doing so have a bit of compassion and think of the family and not the crime .. Would you feel the same way if it was your bike? Rich if it was mine I wouldn’t be happy would I want them dead god no. Eye for an eye etc doesn’t work doesn’t deter and nor do our prisons our criminal justice system is broken when you know that over 75% of criminals are locked up again within 4 years you know it doesn’t work. Rehabilitation whether it’s a nasty word or not needs to be radically improved. I also believe that drugs should be de criminalised take out the criminal element and give them legal status bought through the state. That will then fund intervention most addicts I have met have under lying problems it doesn’t excuse the criminal behaviour but there by the grace of god go I. Even the ex acpo drugs head (association of chief police officers) is advocating for a radical over haul. |

Not all news is bad... Just hope he didn't hurt anyone one else crashing someone else's pride and joy. Too many liberals in this world allow....nay.. encourage shitty behaviour at the expense of honest decent law abiding folks. He wont steal again. It's all a choice, I've known some poor souls faced with ill fortune and tragedy... thankfully they didn't choose his lifestyle.

Tony there is bias which informs your attitudes and values but when you act to profile all people whether it is by ethnicity sexuality gender identity then we are in a whole world of trouble. I agree we have a tendency to be tribal and stick with what we are comfortable with. Me I’m comfortable with liberal open minded people of all ethnicities genders and sexualities, I struggle with xenophobia and hatred of others based just on a defining attribute. I struggle with how narrow minded this country has become, I am concerned we are about to have foisted on us an Eton educated racist, homophobic misogynistic member of the ‘elite’ who has no mandate and no spine but is a populist by virtue of saying whatever he believes will bring him and has no integrity, a man that prior to the referendum stated he was for European integration (which considering his foreign ancestry wasn’t a surprise) then he ‘woke’ and realised apart from a braying donkey no one person in his party was the face of leave and he swung 180 degrees by virtue of political expediency and has now hoof winked people he isn’t remotely concerned of the consequences being a multi millionaire he is however grasping for power. I've been keeping quiet about this. Until now. What Veg has said, in my opinion, is 100% bang on the mark. Well said sir, I doff my cap to you. Oh hang on, it's a beanie... Alex |

We've got the same type of ignorant shithead holding the reigns here in the States. No moral compass and willing to say whatever it takes to get the votes and build his base of knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers. Lots of nasty-isims on the rise here as well. It's the people in power you should be wary of, not your fellow man. No matter his color or creed. |
