What an idiot

This bloke could be a serial f****it, a mobile disaster area. There are many of them around.

Just because he's killed his own child, that doesn't mean he's learned any kind of lesson. There are plenty of examples of people who've been involved in more than one fatal incident. F*ck knows how many drunk drivers/speed mad/mobile phone users kill their kids every year. They know their driving is dangerous, but they still continue until they kill someone.

Claiming "it could be any of us" is bollocks. Especially saying that in a group like this, where people are constantly warned they could be attemping to do something stupid and dangerous.

"Could be". Well that's a sound basis for an argument. He "could be" any number of things.

Alright. Come up with a worse punishment, then. I'm struggling to think of anything beyond re-introducing the stocks although there's nothing to say he'll learn from that either. Yes, the world is full of serial idiots but, and it pains me to say this, you can't line then all up against a wall and shoot 'em.

Such hubris. Are you suggesting that you don't have the capacity to make such a mistake then?

Well, that told me. I prostrate myself before such an intelligence.

That takes me back some years. A park I used to walk my dog around had a notice saying "Please put your dog on a lead in this area". Well my dog was very well trained and very well behaved. I did not put the dog on the lead. I could call it back to heel whenever I wanted (Border Terriers are brilliant dogs)

One day a park warden approached me and demanded that I put my dog on a lead. The bit that annoyed me was that he had his dog with him and his dog was not on a lead.

It's common sense. Something you're seriously lacking. You keep kids well away from building work esp. demolition. This sort of thing has happened many times before. All this was so uneccessary.

We only have to have these rules for idiots. Such as yourself.

I expect he will be prosecuted by the HSE.

Exactly - UNTIL they kill someone - this guy has. Door bolted horse stable after closing has - rearrange into a well known phrase or saying.

Don't think the HSE care a flying fig about DIY.

Now if he was a builder employed to demolish the wall it becomes a "work place" and the HSE would be interested.

HSE only looks at workplace incidents.

A lot of us were, you know.

That's unfair on the other Harry.

Right, ok. Been watching Minority Report again?

Sorry, what is this? Clairvoyants anonymous?

Because, naturally, the HSE goes round prosecuting private individuals.

This is true. I thought this one was different to the troglodyte one (and I'd forgotten about Mr Bloomfield) as I could have sworn there was an overlap in posting at one point.
