My last attempt was taken down, I have no idea why.

Ah, a more moderate title this time.....

It is a shame that three people are dead.

//My last attempt was taken down, I have no idea why. //

Really ?

[jackthehat]

LoL.....You don't learn do you?

The price paid oustrips the offence caused.

[anneasquith]

3 young people are dead. Are you so heartless?

[Mamyalynne]

Terrible for all involved, such a waste of life and awful for those left behind to cope with the aftermath.

If you don't know what was wrong with your last thread. then you need help.

[rowanwitch]

So sad that young people did not live long enough to learn a better way

[baza]

As I said on the last thread, I do not condone the vandalism , however 3 people have left relatives who now have to live with this stupid waste of life. I know of a lady who lost a son doing tagging on the underground, it broke her.

[ToraToraTora]

Are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about Standing on a railway line doing vandalism.

[jackthehat]

There is no death penalty for spray-painting walls.......no matter how much you wish there was.

Those of us with a bit of common-sense and a heart feel for those left behind.

[ToraToraTora]

what is tagging? I did google but I don't think I found the right answer.

[rowanwitch]

The punishment for vandalism should be putting the damage right, and paying some compensation. Death is a little disproportionate.

[baza]

Tagging, painting your symbol on as many objects as you can.

[Sqad]

Death isn't the penalty it is the consequence.

[Mamyalynne]

You didn't look very hard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti#Tagging

You carry on and revel in the fact they lie dead.

[ToraToraTora]

"There is no death penalty for spray-painting walls" - nor for sleeping on the M3 but it's not advisable.

[Jackdaw33]

Those who live by the spray can die by the spray can. Tragic, but inevitable if you insist on going into areas of great danger.

[Baldric]

@ 15:26, Well out of order on this one me old china!

[ToraToraTora]

I searched for "tagging on the underground" - in response to baza's post. I got a lot of posts about anti burglary devices. I only ever read the first page of google, perhaps it was further down.

//British Transport Police say the deaths are 'unexplained' and officers are trying to determine why the victims were on the tracks.

Some sources suggested they could be a group graffiti artists amid claims some spray cans were found by the bodies, which were lying next to a large wall. //

I assume by 'vandalism' you are looking at - ''suggested graffiti artists ''
I don't see that as deserving to die

Unless you know of another reason why they were on the tracks ?
