Justice does not usually involve physically assaulting an old lady, however reprehensible her own actions may have been.

I think some of you are confusing “justice” with “vengeance”.

Oi ! Less of the ” old lady ” if you please,I’ll be 62 in December ! I agree though,you can’t go around punching people,however despicable their behaviour .

I’ve always believed that you’re born with a certain lifespan,and once your number’s up,that’s it.I can see why you would feel guilty Steve,having the heart of someone who’d barely started out on their life,but that’s all the more reason for you to honour their memory by enjoying every minute of the new life you’ve been given.I’m on the organ donor list,and if anyone can make use of my clapped-out old spare parts after I’m gone I’d be delighted.I have to say though that I’ve got far less judgemental as I get older.Of course there should be more emphasis on personal responsibility,and people shouldn’t go through life expecting that the state will always be there to bail them out.But I agree with Steve,this man was only 22,and who hasn’t made mistakes when they’re young?It seems to have been the familiar story,Mum and Dad split up when he was at the wrong age and he tried to cope with it through alcohol.It brings up the old question,is it better for Mum and Dad to stay together ” for the sake of the children ” while the kids are young ?

A password I’ve used for years suddenly isn’t being recognised. Damn !

I do apologise for this.I’m such an idiot I can’t work out how to put a link and text in the same post.This is to prove that it wasn’t all about the feedback – Jimi Hendrix in the Summer of Love ( if I can actually work it ).

This lad liked his ale.Imagine needing a new liver at his age.The transplant rules say that you’ve gotta’ be free of booze for 6 months before your name goes on the list,which he couldn’t do.No sympathy from me.No pain,no gain!

His mother made the point that it was impossible for him to fulfil the 6 months free of alcohol rule because he was too ill to leave hospital.As for the parents stopping him drinking,how exactly can you do that all the time?I’m just giad my daughter only drinks moderately now after the infamous passing-out on the pavement and waking up in A&E incident .

Giving up my seat to an old boy on the bus while a load of teenagers just sat gawping at him,then letting go of the pole I was holding onto to wave at a toddler I know and dropping my shopping all over the floor .
