    Deserve their fate - or otherwise?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_...d/10442017.stm

    Brief summary:

    6 chavtastic thieving toerags end up rolling a nicked Subaru. 2 of them have snuffed it.

    So, yes or no poll - does it serve them right, or have you got sympathy with them?

    I think wishing death on them would be a little extreme tbh.

    Locking them up forever and poking them with sharp pointy sticks every day would be my call on the outcome

    I wouldn't sympathise with them.. but saying they deserved it is a bit OTT.

    Or should we bring back the death penalty for anyone that nicks a car then?

    I don't think they deserve it but I would feel sorry for them.

    If anyone nicked my car they should be executed

    Stuff them, they deserved what they got. Thankfully no one else was caught up in their stupidity.

    It's not a punishment inflicted on them for stealing the car, it's through nothing but their own stupidity. Different situation, not at all alike IMO.

    Their deaths were self inflicted whilst in the process of deliberately inflicting misery onto someone else, just for cheap laughs.

    If you steal a car and then drive it like a tool, then I dont think you have anyone to blame but yourself when the worst happens

    Part of me says "Deserve it, less scum on the street"... Part of me feels a little saddened for their family who will be grieving. Especially their parents, no parent should have to bury their child.

    I don't sympathise with them, but I do sympathise with their families... I certainly don't think they deserved to die for nicking a car.

    It's a real shame that these sort of people don't think about the implications on others before doing stupid things.

    They deserved what they got, but I'm sure there families didn't.

    Sadly its the only thing that stops them! jails are full so all they'd get is a slap on the wrist!
    Don't wish death on anyone,but i cant feel sorry for someone who steals a car! it can be the same as a gun in the wrong hands!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    no sympathy, as i bet if they hit and killed someone instead of them selves in this joy ride, they would have shown no sympathy to that person(s) or their family.

    would they have stopped and assisted the person(s) untill the emergency services arrived?

    would they have called the emergency services?

    they would have either carried on driving then ditched the car ASAP or if the car wasnt driveable they would have just done a runner there and then.

    i do not wish death as a penalty on anyone, but this is Darwinism at its best. you do something stupid and take your life (and others) into your own hands you have to be prepared to face the consequenses if and when it all goes pete tong

    the problem is, that there seems to be only three outcomes when scroats nick cars.

    1. police can't chase them because of health and safety, or they are in the station filling out paperwork
    2. police do catch them, the cps don't prosecute, or they get a wrist slapping
    3. they die

    maybe if it wasn't for number 1 and 2, we would be less inclined towards 3.

    (not knocking the police, just the system)
