Cobbo Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 The poor train drivers too - Can't swerve in a train, it must be heart wrenching. Their stupidity has become the death of them, stay off the tracks.
Steven Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 The poor train drivers too - Can't swerve in a train, it must be heart wrenching. Their stupidity has become the death of them, stay off the tracks. Indeed the train driver would not want to hurt anyone.
lookwhaticando Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 Vandalism is a crime and they were punished for - one way or another. It was a highly stupid stunt, if that's what really happened. On the bright side, perhaps that's two fewer morons polluting the human races' gene pool.
Hullfox Posted 13 January 2007 Author Posted 13 January 2007 Since when has spraying a wall with paint deserved death. Not sure where I said they deserved it. I just said that I had no sympathy for them. There's a big difference which I would have thought you'd have seen.
Rincewind Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 Perhaps they were people who believed the posts on message boards that complained that British rail service was virtually non-existant and that trains are never on time.. and that you cannot rely on the timetables.
Steven Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 Not sure where I said they deserved it. I just said that I had no sympathy for them. There's a big difference which I would have thought you'd have seen. To me you are saying they got what they deserve.
Thracian Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 To me you are saying they got what they deserve. Hard to see any other way of reading that.

lcfc_jme Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 They didn't deserve to die for spray-painting a wall. Tragic for their families, it really is. Just hope that it'll act as a deterrent for other people who like to graffiti walls. It just should not be done anywhere near train tracks. It's a dangerous hobby/pastime and death is always a possibility.
Rincewind Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 Who's going to see their work of art anyway? Other trainspotting graffiti artists and workmen who go into the tunnel to clean the walls of it and they will know when a train is coming.

It's a dangerous hobby/pastime and death is always a possibility. Like fook it will deter anyone. There's plenty of morons that do that kind of thing - walking along rail lines and so on. A few deaths won't put a few morons off - if they weren't aware of the dangers before, there's scarce hope they'll be aware afterwards.
Daggers Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 I just hope they weren't Muslim graffiti artists or some of you are going to have an aneurysm. I hate to think what you all would do to someone who committed a real crime...kill them twice over? Use a slow lorry?
Hullfox Posted 13 January 2007 Author Posted 13 January 2007 To me you are saying they got what they deserve. Mind reader extroadinaire.
Hullfox Posted 13 January 2007 Author Posted 13 January 2007 Hard to see any other way of reading that. I expect no less from you.
Manwell Pablo Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 Since when has spraying a wall with paint deserved death. It's not, but if you stand on a trainline it's not unreasnoable to expect to get hiy by a train.
Anish Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 I can't sympathise with them. They were breaking the law and anyone with half a brain knows of the risk when they grafitti along train tracks. Stupidity cost them their lives. That doesn't mean they deserved to die. There's a massive difference.
stez Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 there's no way hullcox is saying they deserved to die! jesus, anybody (almost) can see thatbut these people have been idiots and have heaped misery on the families and on the train driver. if if they'd have been spraying the cotton wool factory, they may well be alive now, it was their choice. Hard to see any other way of reading that. with a little bit of effort, it's quite easy
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 Never mind about the graffiti debate, the fact that they were on train tracks at all in the first place is utter stupidity.
The People's Hero Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 Imagine standing on a fu cking train tracks. Losers. Zero sympathy for them. Idiots.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 I'd hesitate to say anyone deserves to die but anyone who gets themself into a situation where they run into an Underground train while fleeing from a scene of a crime can't really have many complaints. You can't save these people from themselves.
Rincewind Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 Well they are not complaining or protesting against anything now. Was it worth it?
Kilworthfox Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 I'd hesitate to say anyone deserves to die but anyone who gets themself into a situation where they run into an Underground train while fleeing from a scene of a crime can't really have many complaints. You can't save these people from themselves. It does beg the question in a dark tunnel how did you not see the train with its lights on and did they not hear it comming? Is there not a place to get out of the way? usually there would be a station or maintanance area etc.... they must have known where they were as they must have walked there and how dangerous it was my conclusion silly buggers! & to even suggest that anyone on here was saying they got what they diserved is stupid as its obvious that it was not written or took like that.
