The four youths who died when the car they were in crashed were apparently nice polite youths!

The chances are extremely high that they would still be alive if when the police car put on blues and twos that they pulled over and stopped.

The driver of that car decided to speed off, went through a set of traffic lights on the wrong side of the road before the driver lost control and crashed the car resulting in his death and the death of his three passengers.

A few seconds later a car approached that set of traffic lights so that driver missed a high speed head on collision by a few seconds.

My sympathies are basically with the police and ambulance crew who had to deal with the aftermath of the consequences of the actions of the ‘nice, polite youth’ driving that speeding BMW.

It’s still not funny 4 people dying.
They all have families and friends, and the 3 passengers died as a result of the drivers stupid reaction
Always 2 sides..

/\ true.

shame they weren't spending more time with there nice polite boys Twisted Evil

as mentioned before it nice to see no innocent bystanders got caught up in the mess. what a completely un-necessary waste of emergency services resources.

if it were an accident I'd agree. but unless the throttle pedal got stuck I don't see that it was an accident. if someone is daft enough to play Russian roulette then you need to accept the inevitable.

had they survived but killed some by-standers I'd have very different feelings.

Nice polite youths!


A couple of Years ago Someone got stabbed in dagenham, but was "known about" by those living in romford and Brentwood.

Needless to say when he got stabbed, the local people put him on a pedestal, "He was an Angel" and "He used to go church". Notice how they are both past tense? Well he was attempting to Turn over shops from the age of 9. And When the police went through his things he had the receipt for the knife he got stabbed with in his pocket, and the police gave up the search as it was likely a Random Gang motivated mugging that went wrong, and ended up having the tables turned on him.

Also came out he was making "Drill" music (the music that gangs make to call out their opponents) and was actually "greenlit" by another gang in beckton For it. And i believe there were a couple of arrests at his funeral, from both this beckton and dagenham gang, as they planning on having it out.

no it might not be, but here is in my mind a perfect example of why the occupants in a car being chased by police should pull over and if not then it's best they end up dead rather then some innocent bystander;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-46163962

it would be interesting to start and see some statistics including;
- insurance,
- culture,
-stolen vehicle
etc.

I suspect the thought of that might get the PR brigade up in arms.

The above accident reminds me a little of the one in B'ham on Christmas eve.
When will the punishment reflect the crime?

does that suggest 100% of certain cultures don't do as they should ?

No I am suggesting you need to up your trolling game son.

Digging up one of your old threads which had died months ago, to try and shoehorn in a point about "culture" is poor even by your standards. I'm not actually sure which race, ethnic group, religion you have chosen to have a pop at today as it's difficult keeping up with your ramblings.
I would have handed out better marks if you had been more specific. Hence only 1/10. Must try harder.

aha. I wasn't having a dig at any. so far as I'm aware there's been no suggestions of who was in the golf but I think it would be interesting to review some of the statistics and see if there's a common element. it would then perhaps assist the under financed police to concentrate their effects where required than simply trying to police on a equal / random basis.

A bit like with our defenders. if the axles keep breaking there's probably little point in checking the seat belts are working correctly.

problem being these days assessing certain things would probably cause an outcry. check out knife crime - if what you see in the news is anything to go by there's probably a bit of a clue as to where policing should be concentrated to try and tackle it. Thumbs Up

what a surprise - golf drivers in court for dangerous driving in a car they allegedly stole earlier.

Usually the type of people that want to flood our countries with cheap labor and cultures that have a much different set of values than ours are the same people that report ths news. Those same people over in the UK would waste no time complaining about the culture in the United States.

God Damned lithuanians, Romanians, Bulgarians steeling our jobs that we don't want to do! Them and thier Eastern Cultures <sarcastic>

You know its bad when mexico has its own wall on its own southern border.

You know i don't think the USA is all that bad, sure there's a lot to improve on, but the US does some stuff better than the UK, and a hell of a lot better than other countries. I could never imagine Living outside of the UK, or an upper commonwealth nation, maybe lithuania, nice open country, small population.

Seriously God bless the Lithuanians, coming here working hard & bringing their Good looking daughters here. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/
