"Five people, including three children, killed after stolen car crashes into tree in Leeds - two boys in custody"

No other news at present, but it sounds like a dreadful waste of life.

What a stupid waste of life. The kids were 12 and 15 years old.

Their poor families.

Sorry, I can't feel any sympathy at all for any of the people in the car. Self-imposed death penalty for behaving in a manner which is completely against all the rules of society with no consideration at all for the feelings of others.

bhg...tad harsh IMHO.....these were young children, and there are no details, as yet, as to how they met their deaths....not all of them may have been in the stolen car.

There is a Gypsy camp at Meanwood, Leeds.

Just saying.

Mikey // not all of them may have been in the stolen car. //. That's why I specified "any people in the car". Lots of sympathy for anybody outside the car and their friends/relatives, not to mention the person whose car was stolen. How's he going to get to work tomorrow? That concerns me more than the lives of worthless scum at the start of their life of crime.

more lives wasted..

The link states

The crash involved a stolen Renault Clio and the force is working on the assumption all seven people were in the car, This includes the 2 Arrested

5 people have died, 3 of them children and you think that is funny Zacs ?

I know that you are 'just saying' Gromit, but what would you have said if anyone had put Meanwood, Leeds is a high proportioned 'Black Area'?

[Zacs-Master]

The people who died were in a stolen car, obviously ‘joy’ riding. I’m just grateful they only took themselves out.

[ToraToraTora]

looks like natural selection to me.

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

Grateful no one else was invoked, goes without saying, but it is still five young lives lost, what for? 'Joy Riding, which to their young minds seemed fun at the time.

[mikey4444]

AOG...Some of the comments on here this morning are atrocious, to say the least. Some people should be ashamed of themselves.

[anneasquith]

TTT natural selection ? You are such an odious person. No doubt the true facts will be released soon. ( I'm sure we can wait for them )

[Zacs-Master]

28 and 24? They were fully responsible adults. I do have some sympathy for the younger ones but what sort of families let a twelve year old out at 9:45 on a Saturday?

[ToraToraTora]

just echoing ZM anne, you are not having a go at him are you?
