Drone Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Well when it really comes down to it you can't judge a character and know 100% their harmless. Its best to just not put yourself in a position of having to hitch a lift in the first place We have more public transport now then they were back then and it covers just about anywhere you want to go If you don't want to pay for it then that's the risks hitchers face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 There would more likely have been thousands of cases of assault from hitchhikers that never reported it Look at what is happening regarding saville It is possible it was more dangerous to hitchhike then than it is now Yeah I know it's off at a tangent, but it's funny how that story comes crawling out of the woodwork after the bloke has passed away!

Drone Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 :huh:So they waited until he croaked? It seems pete, they knew he couldn't give names once he's dead obviously There is others involved I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 It seems pete, they knew he couldn't give names once he's dead obviously There is others involved I'm sure But he can't be convicted postumously surely? Is it compensation they're after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drone Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 But he can't be convicted postumously surely? Is it compensation they're after? He should be sent on trial pete in my opinion, with evidence they have then him being dead shouldn't matter Do you know the true meaning of innocent until proven guilty though pete? ...even though you know he's guilty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, maybe you should start a topic on it, cos we'll get our wrists slapped here for being off topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drone Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'll let someone else start one if they want But I can't see why someone can't be tried when their dead when you have this much evidence In the eyes of the public he is guilty In the eyes of the law he's innocent That is undermining the law of innocent until proven guilty which should not ever be undermined if you want that as the law Back on topic though pete, when was the last time you picked an hiker up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the odd one now and again, but it's mostly when I'm only going a couple of junctions down the motorway or something, so I've assumed it wouldn't be useful to them. But had I been travelling any distance then yes I probably would have picked them up. Quickly back to Mr Saville. Why is he guilty in the eyes of the public? Why should it be taken as read that he's guilty? It's just someones word, and he's not here to defend himself by refuting the allegations? I know there's been a program on telly about it, but I didn't see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
