Pretty upset, but at the same time I'd rather get knifed wading in myself than live every day knowing I let someone die.


That's the HSE's priorities, they are not arbiters of morality simply number crunchers.

Everyone has to die at some time, but to die while helping some else, that is the highest way to die. IMOHO.
Even after I’m gone, I hope my bits and pieces will help someone.

Agreed.

Such a selfish comment. Helping others is what makes us great. It could be you that one day screams for help, but all everyone will do is look on..

What do our Armed forces, volunteers & emergency services do? They help 'strangers' every day regardless of their own safety

I think you've got that slightly wrong.

I was one of three fighting, yes I then wound up outside with 15 of them and decided discretion was the better part of valour but there was no one else out there on our side.

My thoughts are with the family of the poor chap. Fortunately the perpetrators will spend a long, long time rotting at Her Majesty's pleasure - and I don't mind that usage of my hard earned taxes one little bit.
Exactly my thoughts, only a lot clearer.

True but these specimens should not go hand in hand with the term humanity. They should be classed as wild, rabid animals. Let them serve the sentence in a Nigerian prison and see if they ever behave this way again. They would be repeatedly raped and broken down mentally till they serve their term out as the wives of a couple of thugs in prison. Sadly the democracy we prize the most is what is being manipulated by this scum and the likes.

I'm very sad for what happened to this guy, such a barbaric act

What's also sad is the dreadful news reporting by the BBC, 2nd guessing or saying what M15 should have done, as they knew about these 2 guys.

Both on BBC Breakfast & the 6 o'clock news reports, reporters were inferring what M15 should have done. Bloomin easy to say, but guessing what 2 out of 2000 suspected extremists might do?

There was a time when the BBC had a good standard of reporting, but its descended into Daily Mail style reporting these days
