not so good for the train driver though.

[jake-the-peg]

I don't see why we can't deal with all the mentally ill that way

[craft1948]

well jake there might be a lot less people on here!!

[Billy-Hunt]

is the photo before or after the train hit him?

[jake-the-peg]

:c)


How about the same treatment for illegal immigrants?

Do we have enough trains to spread the policy to the burgoning underclass too?

Tell you what lets just kill anybody who's not like us - you know right thinking people!

(Do "right thinking people" kill everbody else? it's a paradox and no mistake!)

[Quinlad]

Do-gooder.

You'll be suggesting we don't kill babies with Downs syndrome next.

[China Doll]

Well I can't imagine the train driver or passengers or people at the station at the time were feeling particularly perky at the time.

[VHG]

This is bad news for two reasons

1) First of all how did he manage to escape so easily. After all he could easily have killed one of our faimily while he was on the run

2) While he was a convicted killer most people who suffer from mental illness are NOT and need to be kept under lock and key for THEIR good and OUR good.

If a mild mannered person escaped from the hospital and threw themselves under a train imagine how upsettng that would be for the members of their family.

How can the suicide of a mentally ill patient be anything other than gloomy news.

Anyone rejoicing at the death of this sick man must be a truly sick individual.

[Sgt.Rock]

Not sick enough to stop him absconding though??

[Gromit]

But sick enough to jump in front of a train.

[LucyThomas5]

He was a murderer. One less piece of worthless scum on this Earth.

[Quinlad]

He wasn't a murderer. Do a bit of research.

Hilter tried to eradicate mentally ill and disabled people. Your views sound similar.

[crisgal]

With post natal depression after the birth of my first child, I have had depression on and off for years. I will probably be on medication for the rest of my life.
It's a mental illness.
So what would happen to me, Lucy?

[Dolly1308]

He was a murderer ,just because he got away with manslaughter does not mean he didn't kill anyone .In my book that makes him a murderer. end of.

[Quinlad]

I love an "end of".

He was a killer, not a murderer. Please tell me you understand the difference.

Simple as that. End of. And that's that. etc etc etc

[rov1200]

I think they should bring back the mental hospitals rather than sticking them in prison. Which advisor said these sick people should be in the community. He should be shot at dawn!

[LucyThomas5]

I did Quinlad. This is from The Times.

A convicted killer who stabbed a man repeatedly and dumped his body in a basement.

That certainly sounds like a murderer to me.

Crisgal. Have you committed a violent murder? No. Then I don't see your point.


And as for Gromit. Well, not worth a reply.
