Teenager dies 'playing' on hi-speed track out of Paddington

If the area was recently hit with graffiti, and this happened late at night, then I might not be too stupid in suspecting that they were involved. Impossible to say, without any er, *evidence*. I guess the proof will come if there's no more graffiti put up in the next few days/weeks, as these kids probably got a pretty nasty shock No, that won't prove anything. The kids being in possession of cans of spray paint, even that wouldn't necessarily prove they did *that* bit of tagging. CCTV or witnesses, now those would be persuasive evidence. If they were involved in vandalism or graffiti, then we should perhaps thanks the HEX for contributing to crime prevention. [quickly puts on flame suit] I'm not going to flame you. You know that was in squalid taste and you know the appropriate thing to do would be to withdraw the remark. Ours is not the kind of country where simply making the place look untidy is or ever has been a capital offence. There's no justification for being on the tracks True. I hope this story goes away as quickly as possible. It's yet another article that many people will read as being the train companies fault in some way (or, at best, Network Rail for not 'protecting' these people from themselves). I'd give people more credit than that. I might be wrong. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p9683795.html (151 001 at Derby, 13 Jun 1985) |
