truman Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Which opens up the huge debate on illegality. Do people wish everyone who does something illegal death by electrocution. If so i'm going nowhere near a plug socket for the rest of the week at least. I don't think that's the case..I think it's more "live by the sword,die by the sword"...if he wasn't doing what he did he wouldn't have been killed..not sure people wanted him dead they just don't have much sympathy for him..there is a difference..

I can appreciate that sentiment - i know several who feel the same way. They don't wish anyone to die but have no sympathy. I still question whether the lack of sentiment is simply because it was an illegal activity - hence my question about illegality. I'm sure they wouldn't feel the same about knock off Nigel getting killed crossing the street after flogging his dvd's. They'd blame the driver of the car.

That's not same and you know it unless he was standing in middle of road selling DVD'S. Getting knocked down would depend on whether the driver or the pedestrian was at fault, if Nigel had stepped out from behind a van without looking it would have been his own fault:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I feel sorry for his family. I feel sorry for them being related to a blithering idiot thief. I was right though. So was the post by OOmpa that you quoted:|. Come on its a human life. Not any more. I wonder how many who do feel that way think that Formula 1 drivers and moto gp riders deserve to die. Why should they? F1/moto gp participants don't steal the car/bike. Both people are carrying out actions which have serious potential repercussions i.e dangerous. Though only one is performing a criminal act. No one has doubted that. I simply questioned the morality of people wishing him dead - just because he was carrying out a dangerous activity. . I think you're confusing lack of sympathy with "wishing death on someone". Which opens up the huge debate on illegality. Do people wish everyone who does something illegal death by electrocution. If so i'm going nowhere near a plug socket for the rest of the week at least. You like using emotives, don't you:rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they wouldn't feel the same about knock off Nigel getting killed crossing the street after flogging his dvd's. They'd blame the driver of the car. I feel a distinct lack of sympathy due to the large yellow signs warning of the consequences of being stupid. The illegality doesn't really come into it.
