Such a waste of life.
Thoughts are with the family and the police that were involved
My thoughts are also with the people who own the chippy, they will not be able to trade for a while, hope they do not suffer because of all this.

Seen the pictures of this in the paper, nice to see scum getting what they deserve for a change. I feel for the familys, BUT, these wee ****s didnt just start doing this yesterday, god only knows how many cars, bikes ect have been stolen by this group. Parents must have seen these children getting out of control and either ignored it or were wear rose tinted glasses.

And what about the guy that owned the car, probably his dream car, probably waited years until he could afford it, then the scum go and take it.

As said above too, in these hard "credit crunch" times, here is a family owned business that will be out of work over the xmas period and probably for the forseeable future. In my opinion this is the best outcome for the scum, if the police had of caught them, what would they have got anyway, slapped wrist and sent back out to do it all again.

My thoughts are with the police involved too, not nice to see it happen, and the driver is probably blaming himself or wondering what he could have done differently, and then they will have the police investigation, probably making him feel guilty.

Highly likely the scums' behaviour is learned from the parents or accepted by the parents, had they lived the dead boys' children may well have been the same. Totally dysfunctional families breeding dysfunctional kids. Sad. Where does the cycle end?

I think sterilisation may be a bit far but I would say stop benefit increases at 2 children then if they have more they have to work to support them. If they have never worked why pay for them to breed? However if a working family with 4 children find themselve in need of claiming then that should be allowed as they have contributed to the system.

id agree with that, in fact id say benifits should be a sliding scale, the more you have contrubuted the more you get, for example, a guy say in his forties who has worked and contributed all his life suddenly finds himself made redundant with a family to support , he should receive a generous benifit for a certain period, where as some scumbag who has never contributed anything should get basic food tokens ,no cash ,and very mimimal housing allowance.
