Re: Does a dead bike thief deserve sympathy
Sounds like a thief got his just desserts really
Shame for his parents, but it's hard to feel any sympathy |

Re: Does a dead bike thief deserve sympathy
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
And TBH, People publicly grieving someone like this makes me have little sympathy for them as well.

Re: Does a dead bike thief deserve sympathy
I'm a bit torn - Technically i agree just deserts and all that - But, playing devils advocate here, the report states it was as stolen bike, not that he stole it, nor that he rode it knowing it was stolen.
I doubt this to be the case given his past, but let not be jury and executioner until the full facts are known. |

Re: Does a dead bike thief deserve sympathy
Sympathy for the person he hit - yes.
Sympathy for the parents - maybe. They were responsible for his upbringing Sympathy for the thief - nope. Just a Darwin award candidate |

Re: Does a dead bike thief deserve sympathy
I don't wish death on anyone but you reap what you sow, for all we know he may have killed someone later in life in this way.
Bike theft is at epidemic levels lately, so it's inevitable the ksi figures for the thieves is going to increase too. |

Don't disagree with the theory, but based on the article in question we don't have enough evidence to reliably come to a safe conclusion. But we know the answer don't we, and he had it coming. rgds |

Re: Does a dead bike thief deserve sympathy
This is the Internet - we don't expect to find safe conclusions here.

The internet is basically full of the opinions of people not qualified to back them up with anything as boring as facts. A few years ago there was a case of a girl blogging from the middle east (Syria) and some news services were using this source, bet their faces were red when it turned out that the blogs were from a man based in Scotland. The moral is, if you want dodgy information just Google, its all there for the taking. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-tom-macmaster
