What a terrible world

[Battybarb]

What a terrible world we are living in,violence just seems to be getting worse and worse all the time...my thoughts today go out to Jimmy Mizens family,the lad who got killed in the bakers shop on saturday.It is just down the road from us and is normally a fairly quiet area.What a terrible waste ,its so sad to think he had just turned sixteen and was just going to buy his first ever lotto ticket,i just cannot imagine what his poor family are going through.i hope the police catch the person who did this very soon,our local news says they might have an idea who has done this and local people also have an idea,lets hope someone will give his name up.Makes me think why do people moan about such trivial things,but then thats life and i am guilty of that as much as the next person... :(

I saw that on the TV this morning Barb, and what makes it worse for me is that they said someone had earlier tried to get him involved in a fight and he'd walked away from it... Poor little sod, does his best to keep away from trouble and someone kills him for it... My thoughts go out to his family...

[Battybarb]

Yes ,he was in the bakers with his brother and this other chap started and more or less asked him if he wanted a fight ,so he walked away,the chap smashed some glass and killed him with it...its so very very sad..a young lad just starting out in life..How true is the saying"only the good die young"

This is so tragic and sad :(.

My thoughts also go out to his friends and family at such a sad time.
I really hope that the person responsible is caught and put away with
the key thrown away. This was just a kid and had his whole life ahead
of him and then someone takes that away, I can't even comprehend
what his friends and family must be feeling.

My condolences goes out to them.

such a waste of life taken away by a waste of space...someone knows who did it...have to ask if the parents know where their child that has done this; how can they live with themselves?

[Monstro]

Latest is that they know who did it but reckon he's already ~~~~~~ed off out of the country to Northern Cyprus (no extradition treaty), Turkish lad apparently, been in bother before.

At work today in the pub,a fella who works in Sidcup rugby club said the lads family belong to that club and what a lovely family..by all accounts this afternoon the police have arrested a 19 year old lad for murder,lets hope they have the right one,when it happened a couple of passers by chased the person who did it,but he was too fast so he got away,these people have come forward,so at least they know what he looks like..

[sexyeyes_jo]

its sad to hear a sixteen year old boy had been killed my thoughts go out to his family and friends. if they do catch the person who killed him they won't put him away for long enough though in my opinon i think they should through the book at him.

[Battybarb]

They have now got a 19 year old and charged him with the murder,so just see what happens to him now..it wont be life..you can bet on that..

[MeatGrl1]

It should be, and have the key thrown away !

[sexyeyes_jo]

i think if someone takes another persons life away then they should be put away for lifes its only fair.

[Battybarb]

In this instance yea,an unprovoked attack...

'Lost dog' man remanded in custody (© ITN 2008)

© ITN 2008

A man accused of raping a 12-year-old boy after allegedly tricking him into searching for his lost dog, has been remanded in custody.

Craig Bennett, 44, also known as Craig Preece, of no fixed address, appeared before Blackburn Magistrates' Court charged with two counts of raping a child, kidnap with intent to rape and making threats to kill.

He will next appear at Preston Crown Court on August 6.

The youngster was subjected to a brutal sexual assault after a man promised him £10 to search for his pet near Blackburn, Lancashire.

He was lured to a nearby wooded area in Sudellside, Darwen, where he was raped on Wednesday night.

I have no words for this :( that poor child was jus bein helpful

[MeatGrl1]

That is very sick !

I never get why people do that or even think that it is feesable to do so.
This poor kid is going to be scarred for the rest of their life and I wonder
how he feels knowing that he was the cause of that?

I can't even comprehend it, it's so sick and wrong :(.

[Battybarb]

What is this world coming to....such a sad world....,things like this make me so angry,its so unforgivable

Exactly Anji. Isn't innocence a basic right of young children? It is the worst offence to mankind to abuse that. Well, at least imo.

Another stabbing last night and i am in total shock,it is outside the pub down from my sister in laws pub (the one i work in) she has just phoned me.In Sidcup Kent,four young lads were stabbed and sadly an 18 year old has yet again died and we have just found out he is the nephew of a friend who we have known for 20 years,i am getting more and more disillusioned(if thats the right word) with this country by the day,just dont know what the answer is,but something has to be done ..NOW,another waste of such a young life ,he was attending acting college and had just got a small part in a film

[Monstro]

Out of curiosity, which pub?

[Battybarb]

Metro Bar used to be the Iron Horse right by Sidcup station

Yeah, know it, I used to work in the Black Horse on the high street

[Battybarb]

Blimey,how long ago,we ran that for a while years ago,did you ever know "Stefan" who was the head Barman ?..Last year it was taken over by indians,they totally ruined it and now it has shut down (or did you know Bernie Brankin ,Manager a total alcoholic,he ran it for quite a long while)You prob know "The Alma" then thats where i work,its my sister in laws pub,they have run that for over 25 years,you have prob heard of my brother in law "John White"he is very well known around Sidcup and surrounding areas for being a miserable B...lol

[Battybarb]

Back to the topic,they have got a bloke who did the stabbing in "The Metro" looks like it was def him,he was armed with 2 knives,4 others were stabbed as well,Kevin who is Robs uncle,only buried his mum a month ago,they had the funeral in "The Alma".Lorna who drinks in our pub was on her way to get a cab on friday night with her husband when it was all happening,she is a trained nurse,thought nothing of it,ripped her t.shirt off and wrapped it around the wound of another lad to stop the bleeding,saved his life,what a brave lady,there are still good people out there...lets hope when this one who has done this goes to court they lock him up and throw away the key....
Another really maddening thing the press were in "The Alma" yesterday posing as friends of Rob ,trying to find out where Kevin lives so they could get a story (from the people),the barmaid and my brother in law sent them packing,i know they have a job to do but havent the family been through enough,it makes me mad..

[Battybarb]

This country makes me sick,the bloke they have for the stabbing is who we thought..he is a total F**king waste of space,been inside for murder already stabbed at least 3 other peolple and boasts about it...why is he still walking about wheres the justice..think i will become a judge..life would then mean life !!!

[batcity]

Abosutely. This countries justice system sucks, Murder,, the stabbing, paedophilles. In my eyes once they have taken someones life away. they should have no human rights at all, however the judges who give out these short sentences for murder etc sentences... should be shot. I'd wish they would bring out a law whereby if you are proved and convicted of rape, murder, it's instance death by leathal injection, no appeal or nothing....

[Battybarb]

i agree with you,someone takes a life they lock them up for a short while then they are let out to have their whole lives ahead of them while the victims families suffer a life sentance..thats what they call justice..

[Pudding]

Some people knock Saudi Arabia, but if someone steals they get a hand chopped off, if the rape they get their penis chopped off, if they kill they get their head chopped off...I'm all for that sort of justice.

Pud :twisted:
