Title: Yet another shooting

Happened outside one of my 4x4 enthusiast mates house last night. Died in his arms apparently. Not nice, not nice at all.
Just been speaking to him, and even though he saw some dreadful things in the Falklands conflict back in the 80's, he's still in a state of shock.

This stuff is so regular an occurence now, we've almost become blase about it.

I am at a loss as to a solution, more jails, harsher punishments, national service, curfews, no benefits for those who have not contributed, the death penalty or maybe all. A short dose of a right wing government?

Yup. Another scumbag gone and out of the gene pool. Things are looking up ey? happy088

Tell that to my poor mate that had him laid out in his lap dying though. His head is currently cabbaged, and ALL of his clothes have been confiscated and sent of to phorensics (sp)
He was wearing his wifes nightdress and fluffy slippers yesterday morning when I spoke to him apparently! eeek:

Steady Tiger! What you, your friends and others are going through is now common in this country. I suppose we are running out of sympathy , there is only so much shaking of the head that we can do. What is needed nowis a bloody radical solution to this daily occurrence.

having said that, thoughts are with you and yours mate
