This was posted in uk.railway a few days ago. They don't get my sympathy. I know it's difficult to sympathise with someone cut down by their own criminal actions, but it's not a crime for which anyone is going to suggest a death sentence is appropriate. So in the sense that they didn't get a chance to serve their sentence and didn't get a chance to go on to become reformed upright citizens, I do feel sorry for them. Of course, I have no way of knowing if they would have taken that chance even if it had been made available to them, or if they would have continued to be a blight on society, or if they've been a blight on society for some time before this. I am certainly not going to flat out disagree with your humane view. But I do think that people who do things like this completely ignore the danger they pose to the rest of us by their actions. The safety systems that fail. The operations that are interrupted or deferred - and the consequences of that. -- Rod |

I doubt if such issues ever enter their minds. Probably right in many cases. -- Rod |
