"Could be". Well that's a sound basis for an argument. He "could be" any

Just because he's killed his own child, that doesn't mean he's learned
any kind of lesson.


Alright. Come up with a worse punishment, then. I'm struggling to think
of anything beyond re-introducing the stocks although there's nothing to
say he'll learn from that either. Yes, the world is full of serial
idiots but, and it pains me to say this, you can't line then all up
against a wall and shoot 'em.


Claiming "it could be any of us" is ********.


Such hubris. Are you suggesting that you don't have the capacity to make
such a mistake then?

There is a difference from dogs

Not so - they can be off the lead in parks etc. So it's to do with
road safety.

My little(ish) dog can be a bit aggresive with other dogs so it's best
to keep him on a lead in parks. Besides most parks (officially) ask
that dogs are kept on leads. I have a longish retracting lead so
Charlie can sitill gad about a bit, as well as a long training line.



That takes me back some years. A park I used to walk my dog around had a
notice saying "Please put your dog on a lead in this area". Well my dog was
very well trained and very well behaved. I did not put the dog on the lead.
I could call it back to heel whenever I wanted (Border Terriers are
brilliant dogs)

One day a park warden approached me and demanded that I put my dog on a
lead. The bit that annoyed me was that he had his dog with him and his dog
was not on a lead.

Bloody nonesense.
It was predictable, has happened before on many ocasions and he deserves

Tell me, Harry, is it that you do it on purpose to get a rise from people
or are your thought processes really this strange? Did you do a lot of LSD
in the 60s? Or did you go in for a cosmetic lobotomy once? Maybe it's a
comprehension issue - which also seems to affect anyone with Harry as a
moniker. More likely tho, judging by other posts, it's simply this, which
I see a lot in life: You're old and stupid but you use the former to
insist the latter's not true.

So let's go back to your statements and take a sledgehammer to them, shall
we? "Prosecuted for negligence." This bloke has caused the death of his
child; in what way is being censured by a faceless bureaucracy going to
make how he feels /worse/? And what could they possibly do that would
teach him a better reminder should he ever face doing something similar
again? Or do you envision him up some scaffolding thumping away at things
with a carefree whistle even now?


Ideally he would havebeen prosecurted before the accident.
But then you have had the DM reading "elf&safety" nuts whinging.
These people are such great guys until the million too ne accident happens.

But he killed that little girl.
It could have been anyone's little girl.
He was a stupid **** that needs to spend time in jail for manslaughter.
If he'd killed her with a knife say he'd go to jail for her murder.

She won't be coming back and he needs to be punished for manslaughter.
People like him shouldn't have kids. Too irresponsible.

It's common sense. Something you're seriously lacking.
You keep kids well away from building work esp. demolition.
This sort of thing has happened many times before. All this was so
uneccessary.

We only have to have these rules for idiots.
Such as yourself.

I expect he will be prosecuted by the HSE.

involved in more than one fatal incident. **** knows how many drunk
drivers/speed mad/mobile phone users kill their kids every year. They
know their driving is dangerous, but they still continue until they kill
someone.

Exactly - UNTIL they kill someone - this guy has. Door bolted horse
stable after closing has - rearrange into a well known phrase or saying.

Don't think the HSE care a flying fig about DIY.

Now if he was a builder employed to demolish the wall it becomes a
"work place" and the HSE would be interested.

This is true. I thought this one was different to the troglodyte one
(and I'd forgotten about Mr Bloomfield) as I could have sworn there was
an overlap in posting at one point.

But it does raise an interesting point about manslaughter but not
murder as I think that requires premeditation of some sort.

If he had been employed to demolish the wall could he be facing a
manslaughter charge or causing death by negligence? Why does the
employment status or any other factor for that matter change the
"responsibilty"?

What if the wall had fallen into a neighbours property and killed
their daughter?

Why does the fact he killed his own daughter change things? Yes, he
has to live with that, he would also have to live with killing his
neighbours daughter. Is it any different?
