    Stop trying to apportion blame to everyone but the man who carried the act out!

    The army isnt to blame, neither are his parents or his schools. The only person responsible for his actions are him! It doesnt take a feckon genius to work out that p1ssing on someone is wrong!

    This is a young man who has obviously been failed - by his parents, by the education system and, I'm ashamed to say, by the Army. He's one of the people who society has failed - and he's perceived by society as being a total and utter twunt as a result.

    In prison we can but hope for some form of education and rehabilitation to be offered but if I'm being entirely honest I doubt it.

    Before we get "red in tooth and claw" in our (entirely justifiable) condemnation of his actions, lets pause for two things:

    1. Pause to remember the victim
    2. Pause to think what our society has created

    Item 2. obviates free-will, obviously, but still. It's a definite concern.

    Off Topic - do you spout off on here while you're spivving it up on the phone or is business very slack at the moment?

    Dont be an arse Dodgy. I am not comparing the incidents, I am clearly comparing the behaviour of the crowd. Both incidents show how far our society has slipped. The chap in question is known localy as having mental problems.

    I feel the same about a bunch of bar stewards where I live. Some bloke threatening to jump off a local bridge and the crowd underneath is encouraging him to do so. Police should have nicked em all.

    Not that I am in any way vindicating what he did, which was totally disgusting, just I wonder that it might have been a mistake to an extent?

    What I am saying is maybe you can't accuse him of murder or causing her death.

    Don't all throw rocks, sticks, and keyboards at me in one go - its just a line a thought that I had, and maybe I'm wrong.

    Three years is too short in my opinion, this worthless human being will never be of any use to society and should be permanently removed from it.

    a definite case for tarring, feathering and throwing out for the mob to deal some justice on
    That's rich from the bloke who used to poo on trains.

    They should do him for conspiracy to commit murder - encouraging all those people to kill him.
