Yup. 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.


But their "death sentence" is self-imposed, not dished out by a court.
Numerous warning signs tell them of the dangers surrounding
electricity poles/pylons, substations and railways.

I'm afraid that I don't subscribe to the view that once you've served
a sentence you're as clean as the man next door, which effectively
"commercialises" crime by giving it a specific "price" as punishment.


It's cheaper for us than keeping them in prison.
