 Posted: 12:41 - 06 Aug 2008 Post subject: Woman pushed onto railway tracks - 'Smoke Rage'??? |
 |
|
https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/7544748.stm
| Quote: | Two men pushed a woman onto railway tracks after she told them to stop smoking, police have said.
The woman, 58, suffered a broken wrist and bruises to her legs at Farningham Road station in Kent but officers said she was lucky to be alive. |
Now I find this story interesting.
It goes without saying, their thuggish reaction was wayyy over the top and they are lucky they aren't being hunted for murder.
The way the story reads though, and the pic of the platform at the station involved, sounds to me like the victim was a smoker-persecutor. Either a 'tutter' or someone who will carp right on to strangers about how selfish they are smoking...erm...outside.
Now I know stations, even open ones, are non-smoking now (twats).
But I can picture this woman sniding and chuntering at the men, even though it was hardly gonna kill her through passive smoking to walk/stand near them.
My point to all this (and question) is, will we see a rise in 'smoke-rage'?
Since the smoking ban I've found more people tutting if my smoke happens to waft near them outside.
This winds me up because the smoking ban was (supposedly) to protect workers from smoky atmospheres, not encourage professional whingers to have a go at someone enjoying a fag in a beer garden/on a park bench.
It's not about the smell, otherwise we'd have banned soap dodgers/the flatulent ffs.

Possibly. This country is full of snidey, snivelling self righteuous pricks who are just out to give every one else stick. I guess people just love to look down on others who do something illegal or different, then try and put them down in front of many people as possible. Usually deserve everything they get
Those two men are utter onanists though for pushing an old woman onto train tracks A simple 'mind yer own business you old bat' would have worked fine  ____________________ NSR 125F > BROS 400 > NC30 > BROS 400 > Trumpet S4 > '97 VFR 750 |

Well smoking DID harm her health. If the guys didn't smoke she wouldn't have said anything and they wouldn't have pushed her. So it is a smoke related health problem.  ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

Remember people, Gordon tells us that crime is at a 10 year low.
Regardless of if she was an anti smoking nazi bitch, those who pushed onto the tracks are a waste of oxygen.
How long til we have the army patrolling the streets to deal with people like that? Every day there's so many stories about serious assaults, shootings, stabbing, and generally people having no respect at all for others. Few years and we'll have armed death squads policing the streets shooting 'undesirables' as that would be much quicker than trying to prosecute them.
Plus it'd mean the police can continue chasing their profitable convictions. There's no money in putting little Chavvy McChav in a young offenders institute, there's so much more to be made from going after decent people who have money to their name.
Civil liberties? Don't be daft, continue talking like that and you might get shot for inciting public disorder!  |

The smoking ban was engineered by, and entirely for the benefit of, professional whingers. Empty-eyed, mealy-mouthed, vituperative, sour-faced, small-minded, piss-ant professional whingers.
Who fully deserve to end up on railway tracks for not knowing when to keep their miserable fucking mouths shut. ____________________ "That's it. You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college."

Yeah, I reckon the old

is going to have to make a few trips for this one.
I routinely have car drivers put me in more danger than that interfering harridan, why aren't the police out looking for them? ____________________ "That's it. You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college."
