    But obviously if the posters crash while speeding, their views on criminals being killed would undergo an amazing transformation.

    That’s a bit strong, he didn’t choose any such thing, he made a mistake whilst making a connection to a cable just as I (and many thousands of others) could do every day.

    thousands of others wouldnt be committing a reckless criminal act like that and putting them in the position of suffering like that.

    This guy didnt just put his own life at risk but also other peoples.

    The inquest heard that firefighters and paramedics could not get into the dark and narrow tunnel until the power had been turned off, which took some time because cables running through them were powering dialysis machines at a nearby NHS renal unit. There was also asbestos in the tunnel. He added: "If the power had been switched off (more quickly) the dialysis would have been stopped and several patients would have been affected.

    All I am saying is that if we woke up tomorrow and during the night everyone who carried a gun or a knife, was a career thief, people who beat others up for fun or money, murderers, rapists etc etc etc...

    If we woke up and they were all dead... Life would be much better.
    I work in finance

    So. would you be happy to personally kill one, if you feel so strongly they should die?

    Or are you just happy to withhold medical attention.

    Or would you try to save them if you could?

    Would I kill a scumbag for 1% off the electric bill?

    No. I don't think I would at the end of the day.

    Who said anything about personally killing one ?????????????

    I hope if your electricity supply is off for 10 -12 or more hours because thieving scum have tried to steal copper cable on xmas day or boxing day which does happen

    please don't have a go at the supply company because it is NOT their fault

    i've been at the sharp end of consumers tounges when this has happened and it's not a nice experience when we are trying to restore supplies

    surprising how many women use the f word to your face ,but we can't reply using the same language

    No. I just won't wish anyone dead.
    Even if they do interrupt my electricity, or delay my train.
    There's more to humanity than that.
    Even if it is by candlelight.
    And if you want them dead for making your christmas tree lights go out for a few hours, that's up to you.
