What can you say ...!

I used to think that the people who did that kind of thing were just too thick to realise the seriousness of what they were doing, just 'avin' a larff, but then people started lobbing bricks and bits of concrete off motorway bridges through vehicle windscreens and I changed my mind.

It's quite obvious that there are some sickos about who get genuine pleasure and a thrill from seriously injuring or killing people. In fact, I watched one documentary where a lot of soldiers were asked why they joined up. Most of them gave healthy reasons and talked about travel, excitement, camaraderie and so on, but a couple of them just stared back at the camera with stupid big grins on their faces and said that they thought that getting paid to kill people was absolutely fantastic ...

arse***es - if it were tied higher, it could have been a lot worse.

Excuse the expression ..these people are obviously f+++++g retards!! Its disgusting that anybody could do this, which could have easily resulted in a fatality!..WTF is the world coming to???

Frankly I'd love to bring back the stocks, bit of public humiliation and some rotten fruit thrown at them might teach 'em some sense!

i personally think we peddle a bike on the service stand get their heads and force their faces into the rear spinning wheel to teach them a lesson

Just seen this article on the lunchtime BBC (NE) news.

According to the cop that was interviewed by the news team, the adult rider in question was over 6 feet tall, resulting in the rope hitting him across the chest.

He went on to say that had the rider been one of the many 7 or 8 year old children that use the trail, the rope would have been nearer neck height, with much more serious, or even fatal consequences.

I really do hope the ****wit responsible is caught.

Same here. Does anything actually go through the minds of the sick individuals who do this sort of thing?

My worry will be the likelihood of some other idiots copycatting on other trails

That's shocking, hope the person on the bike was alright. Seriously, I don't understand sometimes what goes through people's heads when they do things like this

Are the police treating it as attempted murder then?... No I thought not !
