To call them ‘scum’ was despicable. They were someone’s children and hadn’t hurt or killed anyone...only themselves.
Look at the state of the man who said they were scum!
And I am NOT saying that.
However.
Below is some of the work of these so called 'talented' so called (criminal) 'artists'.
The work doesn't look very talented to me!
None of that is talented Art.
Art.
Now.
Is it?

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]
I know we are all approaching this from a different angle but I still think that we all feel the same about it, for the following reasons.......1. Nobody is happy that these lads have died, but nobody can dispute the fact that they died because they were stupid enough to take the risk.
2. Apart from a few objectionable people in the newspaper report, nobody blames the driver, who may now find it difficult to continue his job. ( In the next town to me, a young lad tried to jump on a reversing bus, to show off, and was sadly killed! It wasn't the drivers fault, but he felt that he could no longer drive a bus, so left his job & became unemployed)
These boys are now dead and no outpouring of sympathy will help them, but we can all hope that this accident may reduce the number of people who are likely to take similar risks.

A disturbing lack of natural empathy or said for effect .
Either way disturbing .

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]
It must be a dreadful shock to their parents, but having said that I don't care that these vandals died. I'm sick of seeing buildings and walls defaced by mis-spelled and ugly daubs. If they're such talented artists why don't they deface their own homes. or get together to make use of some private spaces? This country has enough litter, gum, fag ends, beer cans and detritus scarring our eyes without self indulgent kids who think it's clever to risk their lives - and more importantly, traumatise train drivers. My only regret is that these deaths won't make a bit of difference to their peers.

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]
At least these three young men weren’t riding round on mopeds stealing phones and watches and stabbing people randomly. Nor, were they chucking acid into the faces of innocent people.Then of course we have people raving about the celebrity graffiti artist Banksy who did the very same thing and he is revered for it.
It’s a funny old world... isn’t it?

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]
A vandal is a vandal regardless of his connections and apparently these were not your normal working class vandal, more the Hooray Henry type.They would not know about empty stock movements during the night so assumed there would be no traffic on the line at that time of night.

Perhaps I am being rather cynical though, when I say what happened may encourage MORE graffiti and risk taking.
I see his so called friends are already posting shrines all over the place in 'honour' or their dead vandal criminal friends.
Whenever I am about anywhere I absolutely hate graffiti with a vengeance. All it does is deface our towns and cities, and guess who pays for the cleaning up of a lot of this abomination Twink?
WE DO!
