How sad. See'ya.

And nothing of any value or worth was lost (apart from the Triumph).

If he stole the bike, he got what he deserved by being a twat... If he got the bike in good faith, though still unqualifide to ride the beast. Poor sod. He is a victim...

Though its not 100% clear by the news report, it does seem to lean towards him being the theif.

As for speeding. 50 in a built up area is a bit stupid... Where as 50 in a 30 zone out in the country in a very lightly built area might seem ok to many... Still must have been a akwad crash to have killed him at that speed... No helmet?

I get what Tef's saying, but it's pretty obvious the lad stole the bike and the paper just can't say it for legal reasons or whatever.

Riding a bike that you have no business riding (whether its reason 1: Not done the correct tests to allow you to ride a bike that powerful or reason 2: Not paid for it!) results in hard luck - tough shit.

And that's kind of my point there's no absolutes in that article and as the northants telegraph is my home town rag they'd struggle to get the words out even if they knew for sure without fucking it up.

He may well be a bike thief, he may well just be some unlucky cunt who pushed his luck like most of us do at times but his luck ran out.

I'll probably get shot down for this... but I think you're all being harsh. Let's not forget a life has been lost.

Yes, he was a thief and trust me I truly hate thieves... do I think they deserve to die though? No, they don't.

Let's also consider who your comments will be effecting. Not the bike thief, he's dead, he can't see your messages... his innocent family on the other hand may well see these comments. Do they deserve to have their situation worsened by us lot, I don't think they do.

[tom_e]

To be honest I agree with you, I'm not into this whole "death sentence for bike thieving scum" line that's getting trotted out at the minute. While they are a bunch of cunts and could do with a good slap there are also much worse crimes they could be committing. Not that it's any sort of excuse for their current line of cuntery.

[ThatDippyTwat]

I'm firmly of the opinion that if someone's a jizztrumpet, then dying doesn't make them any less of a jizztrumpet, despite what the weeping family would like people to think. If they wanted to think of any family, they would have kept fingers off other peoples stuff.

I say this as someone that has caused "issues" with family members that managed to off themselves in dodgy circumstances. Still jizztrumpets, family or not.

Meanwhile, they get to go out, and largely with impunity, steal whatever the they like, and us poor bastards pay for it. Again and again.

Fuck them. If splatting themselves stops peoples stuff getting nicked, and taking a space in prison, then I'm, all for it. Did I mention they're jizztrumpets?

Nope, I'd execute thieves, or for any other crime of violence or property acquisition (including white collar, Hetz), on the 3rd strike.

Career lags never turn it around, and will always be worthless parasites who will be cheered to their grave by any honest person who has been unfortunate enough to encounter them.
