How do you know they were putting lives at risk? They certainly didn't
care about anyone other than themselves - but what thief does?
What's far more worrying is the self righteous hang them and flog them
brigade. As if they never ever broke the law.


How do you KNOW otherwise? Suppose they had got away with it, leaving a
live wire exposed to the elements and passers by...


You're supposing - again.


But I'm not alone in doing so, unless you are claiming it as an
exclusive right and anyone else is an imposter?

Just remember - speeding puts other's life at risk. If you want
dramatics.


...or even red herrings.


Please show here I have suggested "hanging and flogging". Perhaps I was
merely marvelling at Darwinism in action. They would seem to have been
the architects of their own destiny and I, for one, see no reason to
shed a tear for their passing.


Of course not. Didn't think you were human.


Well, given your twisted outlook on life that's hardly surprising. Let
us praise and nurture the wrong-doers, because it would be unjust to to
do otherwise, even if everyone else suffers as a result of their actions.

Hang on, got it! You go around nicking metal and power cables and this
gives you a "moral" right to defend such actions. And, when it all goes
tits up, it's society's fault.

Let me sum it up. You don't care if someone lives or dies because they
have done something you disapprove of.


I really do not care if someone is too stupid to understand the
consequences of his or her own ILLEGAL actions. I care even less if
their ILLEGAL actions compromise the safety and well-being of law
abiding people.

But expect that same person to be worried about others?


Well, it should be patently obvious even to a blinkered bigot like you
that they don't give a F*CK about anyone but themselves and consequently
reap the rewards of their own actions.
