Let's hope the scumbag gets caught speeding around in a vehicle that isn't taxed, with a mobile phone stuck to his ear, then, according to some he will deserve to have the book thrown at him. How anyone can trivialise the horrific death that child suffered, at the hands of these two morons, is beyond belief. Let's hope the supercilious amongst you never lose a child eh? What could and should have been a reasoned debate, has taken a wrong turn somewhere!
Not according to some, according to
me, at least in your interpretation of what I said. It doesn't avoid direct conflict being oblique about names but not the post in question.
I wasn't trivialising the death, or the crime, just commenting on the depressingly common response to our justice system in these cases, usually in spite of the facts and details as they're rarely all published, and the social impact very rare crimes have on the rest of us. In particular, I was commenting on the vigilantes in the links posted. Those are very different things. Tiddly-wink, you are reading what you want to read there. Threads like these always attract those burdened with emotional-reasoning and you're one of them.
I almost always come at the subject from a slightly different angle as there are only so many posts expressing outrage, sadness, horror and other emotions that can be written and I rarely feel the need to express what is a de facto emotional response. As such, I usually cop for the displaced anger of people on forums who struggle to cope with emotional subjects calmly and need someone there in front of them to rail against. Which is fine, as I'm willing to play the part. It helps though if what people rail against is the points I make, not some straw man argument that they want to argue against or simply be outraged about, like you're doing up there.
