Teenager dies 'playing' on hi-speed track out of Paddington
"Simon" wrote in message oups.com... It's not as if it was a tragic accident Perhaps his family have a different perspective It's time to face reality - he played his game and lost. No danger of the Christmas spirit here then He was knowingly and willingly in the very wrong place at a very wrong time.....and paid the price And a happy and prosperous 2006 to you and yours y'see, exactly what i'm on about. What has Christmas spirit got to do with this event ? Does it make any difference if this happened in July ? The guy was trespassing on a live railway and got hit by a train. He was 17 years old. He knew it was a) wrong and b) dangerous but he still took that decision and got the consequences. I feel very sorry for his family ( as mentioned ) but at the end of the day, he's an adult ( or as near to it in the eyes of the law). Do i have to dress it up and pretend i have massive sympathy for HIM simply because it's Christmas ? HIS actions cost him HIS life. Regardless of date, this guy was a bloody idiot. If your saying that in this week i have to say ' i feel so sorry for him and maybe it wasn't his FAULT and he was only 17 ' for the sake of Christmas spirit but for the other 51 weeks of the year it's ok to be truthful, then sorry, i don't buy that. A happy and properous 2006 to you and yours. My they drive safe and keep of bust railway tracks |
