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.

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. -- Adam |

Bloody nonesense. It was predictable, has happened before on many ocasions and he deserves to be prosecuted or his negligence. 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. |

There are plenty of examples of people who've been 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.

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? -- Cheers Dave. |
