I love my car but if someone stole it and crashed and died I wouldnt think "justice had been done." Id actually feel sorry for the thief, maybe thats just me. No offence to anyone whatsoever but this is someones son/brother/father that everyone seems to be joking about  |
So blame society rather than themselves?
If I gave you knife and said 'if' you put it on your finger and saw at it, your finger will come off and cause a huge amount pain and if you do it I'll give you a quid. Then what if you decide to ignore the 'obvious' to see for yourself and because you want that quid. You start cutting at your finger then it comes off and you end up in great pain etc. Do you deserve to lose a finger and be in pain? Yes.
This person knew what he was doing and knew the risks, he was warned that it could kill him and it did. So there's no pity, it wasn't tragic, just plain stupidity, greed and disrespect for his own life, he played with fire and he got burnt (literally).
