A relatively simple deduction, if you read the article... " Two fifteen-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after five people were killed when the Renault Clio came off the road.

As you say, a sad day for the relatives of the innocent victims, what always gets me with the scrotes that steal cars and put other peoples lives at risk is, when they are chased by the police and end up flipping the car or rapping it around a tree how they always seem to come out of it unscathed and able to run off.

Will await the sound-bite apologist politicians/police blaming the innocent victims and calling for tougher laws on teenage drivers - regardless that the culprits tend to be breaking a raft of laws in the first place without any regard to any nearby members of the public! The double standards from some sectors of society is beyond a joke. As to any "joy-riders" killed as a result of their own criminal actions: play silly games, win silly prizes. No doubt they were only stealing cars & driving while disqualified/uninsured as the Yoot Centr had run out of blue pop for the night. One mans innocent youngster is another mans Ratboy; just a case of perspective... Edited November 26, 2017 by saddler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I live in Leeds, latest update is that the police are looking at the possibility that 2 of the dead may have been pedestrians but that is unconfirmed. Driving close to there this afternoon and we were diverted due to another bad smash near to what was the site of the Meanwood pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I see the usual 'shrine' is appearing in Leeds, with friends and kin of these thieves saying what lovely, kind, gentle, caring lads they where. The photos in the papers also show nice smiley faces, butter wouldn't melt. Removed from the gene pool, is all I can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
