These guys like to use their name and ‘tag’ so as to look big with friends.
Vandals and criminals and scum.
The lot of them!

I used to know a station manager who described to me the remnants of what where once human bodies found after a train has run into them when they have jumped. He had to pick up a head once. You also have to think of the parents who maybe didn't even know what their children were up to. You can blame them or the kids that died but I blame society for not giving them a better moral structure.

But I for one will save my sympathy for the Train Driver and the guys who had to clear the train track afterwards.

It doesn't have to be one or the other boozy, yes a terrible situation for the train driver and the people who have to clear up after and my main concern is for them but that doesn't mean I can't feel sympathy for those lads families and regret that they died. They were daft lads and they paid the price...doesn't mean I can't feel sad for them.

Think of it this way. Whilst you are reading this, hundreds of people in the world will die, including young children who have never done anything wrong.... but we won't feel sad because we don't know about them.
I tend to feel sad about people that I have known, but in the case of total strangers, I just feel sorry because their families are sad.

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]
HiI sometimes come across as uncaring.
I am not, I have severe PTSD because of what I have seen in the past.
I am a hard nut, but that does not make me uncaring.
These three knew the risks and yet carried on.
They were adults, quite capable of making their own decicions.
Their choice, end of, I juat accept it.
My sympathy does not rest with them.
My sympathy is with their families, who have lost loved ones.
Tougth but get over it, it was their choice.
My big issue is with the Train Driver.
He did nothing wrong at all, yet, being a decent man, it will live with him forever,.

I believe I have said before that I certainly feel sympathy for those lads families.
Obviously this is a massive traumatic experience for them.
This goes without saying.
Those lads.
I most certainly would not have wished that terrible tragedy to befall them, and I am not saying they deserved that to happen either, being struck by a train.
I just can't get any real sympathy up for them.
That's all.

I could have written those words for myself Swim.
But you did it better.
I mean all of your post.
Not just those words in bold.

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!
