What's wrong with these people?

Not the people charged (that goes without saying), but the
people who line the streets to jeer. What do they hope to
achieve? It was the same with the Bulger trial.

That's actually just socializing - people want to feel
themselves in a crowd, be protected by their own massive
amount. That's why they gather an piss on some charged
fucker's head...

It's absolotely not required - you just got to have a target
for your shit-machine-gun... That's sometimes disgusting.

I saw that on the news this morning, and was thinking "what
happened to Innocent until proven otherwise"

That can be taken two ways that I know:

01) You think Usama set up the 9/11 incidents

02) You think Usama is being judged before being proved
innocent.

If it's the 2nd one then i agree with you.

yeah I have always wondered where these people always
magically appear from..they are like these ghoulish tragedy
groupies...

they always remind of that Bill Bailey skit about the eye
witnesses being the dumbest most verbally challenged twits..

Just a bunch of sick fuckers who want to feel important and
useful I suppose. Fucking idiots.

Its like some kind of emotional pornography. People's lives
are so banal that they seek to fill it with trying to be
part of something that is fuck all to do with them. Its like
those people who flooded to 'pay their respects' when Sarah
Payne died (for non-UK peeps, she was a girl also murdered).
If it was my son/daughter who'd been murdered I'd be
outraged at these people. It was tragic but they never knew
her so couldn't feel the loss. This kind of behaviour is
nurtured by the tabloids and the media and it stinks.

i know what you mean jonesy, the Bulger case was particulaly
bad, i'm from Liverpool and saw and felt alot of emotion at
the time.
But to brick a bus thats taking them to and from court is
just plain silly, i know people have to vent there anger
some way but to throw a brick at a bus which holds 2 kids
going to court was just rediculous.

I agree Jonesy.

I also think that the whole thing's ridiculous in a number
of other ways. Motor vehicles are by far the biggest killer
of children in the UK, but very little is done about that.

Economic sanctions imposed on Iraq by the US and Britain
have killed 500,000 children in a decade, yet there isn't a
huge tabloid uproar about it.

Fucking stupid, man.

Bang on my man, bang on. As bad as it was, two white girls
from middle England in Man Utd shirts are deemed victims
(quite rightly), yet children in Iraq, Afghanistan or Israel
are not as deserving as our sympathy.

You are talking fen tigers here. The rabble are probably all
related somehow. Something like a family reunion.

Yeah, the reaction surrounding the Bulger trial was
particularly depressing. Just because they were kids the
reaction was more hostile. It offended people's assumptions
that children are innocent and their response was
disproportionate. There are some really dumb people in this
country.

There was an article in the Guardian some time ago about a
near-identical case somewhere near the Netherlands or Sweden
or somewhere. Anyway, the reaction was muted and the media
kept their noses out. The whole thing was dealt with in a
much more productive and healthier way and boy's problems
are being dealt with.

Fuck theSun, News of the World, the mail and the rest of the
bigoted press.
