steve_b_wales Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Yesterday, 4 males ram raided an outdoor pursuit shop with a quad bike (2 were used) and stole £1000's of pounds worth of clothing. Making their getaway by driving down railway lines, (early hours) one quad bike was hit by a train, killing two of the males, who were both in their early 20's. The quad/s were stolen from the Newport, S.Wales area. There is no news regarding whether the males were career criminals. Is their death, 'just desserts'? Is it a case of 'Good Enough' for them?

Blackpowder Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Internet news sites are saying that a Facebook page has been opened for people to show their sympathy and regards for the deceased? :( The gang must have totalled 6 as 4 have been arrested and 2 are dead.

Spaniel Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Think they should of checked their train time tables to be honest......but not good to die just because they stole some clothing etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 If you commit a crime you should expect just desserts if you are caught. But neither am I saying that death is a suitable punishment for the crime mentioned, that would be just plain silly. However, if your asking me if I have any sympathy for these individuals that were stupid enough to commit the crime in the first place and then race off down a railway track on a quad bike at night, I do not.

steve_b_wales Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I should have mentioned that I do not have any sympathy for the two killed. I do, however, feel sorry for the families of the two males. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, however, feel sorry for the families of the two males. While I have to agree with you Steve I think we should ask "Did they give any thoughts as to how their actions might effect their families if things went pear shaped?" I suspect not!

Alpha Mule Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 If they had been killed by the police whilst being arrested, I would have a big problem, but as it stands,,,,, Tough. Ever seen the Darwin Awards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Good thats helped reduce the population, and teaches them a lesson for nicking peoples quads :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badshot Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 No sympathy to those involved at all, it is a risk they decided to take. Just as surely as if they decided to break into my house with my dogs there. However it is the family that will hurt the most and longest and for that I do have sympathy, unless it was a family outfit of course.

jonevo Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 hows the quad bikes hope they are working ok after their encounter with a train anyone heard ?? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I wouldn't say they deserved it or that it's not a loss for the family. However, it saves the cost of a trial for 2 of them. The train was going for service\repair, that line is not normally in use at that time of the morning for timetabled trains, put it down to natural selection. Jon.

logstove Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I feel sorry for the train driver having to deal with the emotion of killing 2 idiots while going about his lawful business. British Rail - tough on crime ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I would`nt worry about the families the state as always will look after them, I hope they suffered a bit before the died. When you have been the victim of crime more than once and then watched the offenders get away with a slap on the wrists I`m affraid sympathy goes out the window. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Word to the wise; the deceased will have family and friends with internet access.....
