In an outrageously distasteful act, friends and family of the deceased have been placing tributes, cards, flowers etc outside the house!

In the night, someone has thrown them to the ground (including those placed by his children).

It has been argued that everybody has a right to grieve and that this act will cause more upset to his young children who may not even know what their father gets up to, all they know is that their father is dead.

What do others think about this?
I think that the crimes they committed especially on the elderly were nothing but appalling and really cowardice, as they seemed to seek their victims by age and just how vulnerable they were.

I don't think normal people will ever understand as to why the reasons the family and friends feel the need to lay flowers, cards etc outside the home of Mr Richard Osborn-Brooks. In regards to people throwing the family's tributes to the ground in my opinion the family and friends will see this as an act of disrespect, where most law abiding people see this as nothing but deviant behavior and lack of respect to the real victim in whom who's life will never be the same again for fear of attack.

Apparently one of the deceased family or friends said he was not a monster and maybe in his/her life breaking into homes, praying on the elderly and swindling hard working people out of money is done by someone who is good and kind, but in my world this way of life is truly a monstrous carried out by monsters.

Praying on the old and vulnerable in my book makes you a cowardice monster.

Having said the above it is the innocent that suffers the victims of his crime and now his children in whom I doubt will learn from their fathers way of life as by all accounts he was a career criminal, I'm afraid society can only hope that his children learn from the mistakes their father made in life.

I do really hope that his children grow up to be law abiding citizens and follow the Golden Rule (Do to others what you want them to do to you)

In regards to the laying of flowers most people will never understand their mentality by laying flowers in the neighbourhood of Mr Osborn-Brooks nor them ours simply because our way of life is at opposite ends of the scale.
