Harsh

There's video footage to go with it on the right hand side of the page. How harsh is that? What do you reckon? Cunning ploy that backfired, or poor sod caught up in evil villain style plan?

P.s. YAR.

jeebus!


um I don't think someone would do such a thing and carry it through to the end if they only wanted to rob a bank. if a third party did that to that pizza bloke then they're utterly sick :/

 

[~Mobius~]

Thats evil. :/

 

[Teh Krypt]

How could someone do that to anouther human

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Maybe the pizza guy exceeded the 30 minutes delivery and was blown up in revenge?

 

[Testin da Cable]

I know some people I'd like to have blown up tbh. Ahem, I'll shut up now :/

 

[Gumbo]

I can't get Realplayer to install so I can't watch the gory clip from the bbc website.

If anyone else finds the gory clip in another format could you post it or pm me please?

Thanks in advance.

(Gory) Gumbo

 

[[PS]Mung]

It aint gory, the camera is not on the guy when the bomb goes off.

It is, however, extremely sad.

Fuck sake :/

What a way to go

The camera's definitely on the guy when it goes off. If you look closely at the moment it goes off in that news reel it looks like they've zoomed in on the pic and shunted the view off to the side in order to cut out the actual explosion but show the reaction of the police. That is most definitely harsh.

 

[[PS]Mung]

Oh yeah. Damn the BBC! Still sad though.

This is absolutely shocking that someone would do this to another person.

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

Cheeky Girls?

 

[Testin da Cable]

they are?

 

[Cdr]

Possibly.

 

[Testin da Cable]

ok, but they better not be mucking about too much cos I'm a bit strung out lately :/

 

[Cdr]

Just dont put your shoes on until you've gotten rid of the custard

 

[Testin da Cable]

god I wish I had some custard

 

[Cdr]

I have a coffee that has gone-off milk in, if you want that?

 

[Testin da Cable]

no ta. I take my gone-off milk without coffee in the afternoons.

Poor fella. Sounds to me like the culprits were amateurs, no real bank robber with any experience would try and pull a stunt like that, they would know the guy wouldn't stand a chance.

I give it a few weeks before the perpertrators are caught.

 

[pcg79]

that is really really sick :/

 

[Cdr]

Assuming he didnt do it himself? Using it as an excuse if he were to get caught, hoping the police would disarm the device before him and it went bang? Then he could go free while they look for the 'real' robbers?

Perhaps I'm just being cynical?

 

[doh_boy]

What would the point be?

Failsafe incase of being caught? Sounds silly to me. :/

well wierd.

 

[Cdr]

There's not much point in tying a bomb to someones neck setting it off on a timer, then sending them to rob the bank - they get caught you lose the money, the bomb goes off, you lose the money, the bomb goes off while you're getting the money, you die.

If anything you'd want a hand controlled det - so then you can at least blow him up if he does something wrong, but still have control so he does as he's told.

If you already know the bomb is ticking - why rob the bank? Why not just go straight to the police and get it defused?

The only point in having the bomb there in the first place is if your intentions were to kill him and the people inside the bank or cause mass damage to wherever the guy was stood at the point the timer stopped.

I agree that this could be a possibility.

Update

 

[Cdr]

After reading the update, I'd have to agree that it was just a case of the poor bloke being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Poor soul.
