Shame, poor bike might be damaged now.

[Redoko]

Such a shame. Utter pointless loss. If only we could of done something to prevent it. Like chained the bike up, so it couldn't of been knicked..

Oh, and yeah, I guess it's a shame about some kids killing themselves too.

I'd venture to guess at at most a 6 year sentence - strong aggravation, but mitigation for his tender yoof, inevitable protestations of remorse, troubled childhood, Bigger Boy Made Me Kill Him. The sentence for blagging it will run "concurrently" i.e. won't be served.

So, he'll be out at 17, after serving an apprenticeship at Young Offenders' Training Camp, packing some new contacts and finely honed blagging and X Box skills that will set him up nicely for the rest of his "career".

And probably a 5 year driving ban, ho ho.

Thieving scumbags got their just desserts !!

Wolverhampton is plagued by lowlife scum riding unregistered bikes and the cops do bugger all about it (not enough resources apparently when I tried to make an official complaint).
So it looks like Karma has stepped in and wiped at least one scrote out of existance.

Nice one Karma!!

[Martay]

Same as above really, RIP BUELL

Hopefully it hurt. Its harsh but that'll fucking teach them

How strange....less than a minute ago, i was pondering how modern society has greatly reduced the influence of natural selection...






I was right, otherwise there would be two dead

Being 17 i hear about people doing stuff like this a lot (just without the fatalities - dunno how tho!)
Just last night one of my neighbours was ragging his KMX/DT down my very short road, with a passanger He's on L's and must have been riding around with a passenger for a good 20 mins (came back from the main road 20 mins later) Surprised how he didn't get pulled/die.

And then the rest of young people complain about insurance.

Just makes me angry how young people - despite 'crying out to treat us like adults' still act like young idiots and give the rest of us a bad reputation - expensive insurance!

He should get life if he was driving!

RIP Buel

Calling the rozzers wouldn't have done much. Not to mention i'd rather not be a snitch. If he was doing donaughts, or drinking a bottle of vodka and riding around the street without a lid - probably,
Paint diagram to show how stupid he is really...

During the riots I saw about 40 yobs gathering in a street, so I called 999, police were there in five minutes and dispersed them, if I hadn't "snitched" god knows what would have happened.

If you're afraid of snitching you're either a coward or a sympathiser with the criminals, be a man and do what's right.

Yeah, I agree the theiving scum got what was coming to them...shame it was the pillion that died tho...should have been the idiot in control of the bike....or more to the point...not in control.
Ahh well, look on the bright side....At least if the owner gets an insurance payout he'll have the chance to buy a "proper" motorbike instead of that ugly American piece of sh*t.....
