He may have been a thieving bastard, but I would not have wished that on him.

Lynne Yelland, who also lives nearby, said: "It's so sad.

"Some mother's got to have that news this morning. I think it's heartbreaking."

No property is worth a life and some of you warriors need to get one.

Perhaps my 10 years in the army and 12 in the fire service have caused be to be somewhat flippant towards death. But you are a consequence of your actions. And if you actions force you to flee the police and jump to your death then so be it.

And jamie there certainly is no god or his late son

Most shocking is that the police were actually chasing a bike thief!

As for the thief poo happens, if he hadn't been on the rob, it wouldn't have happened! Only himself to blame!

What if that bike was the only way the owner could get to his/her minimum wage job in order to earn just enough money to feed his/her family?

No one knows all the facts but [b]if [/b]the person did take the bike just because they wanted something that someone has worked for and they couldn't be bothered to work for it then I agree with njee20.

Maybe the "owner" stole the bike?

Maybe the thief wanted it to ride to work so he could get a job to feed his kids

etc etc meaningless speculation...

@darkslider.

You make a valid argument with your lo-res jpg.

Don't worry. Jesus does not care he arm wrestled Satan for your soul, and yet you don't believe.

If you had witnessed some of the things ive seen that people had done to each other in the name of religion then you may agree with me

But each to their own 😉

Judging by muscle tone my money is on the Prince of Darkness! I never knew that Satan shared a home with Sauron either. You can even make out the eagles in the background on their way to pick up Frodo and Sam.

The police made a decision a few years ago not to pursue car thieves per se, as the resulting possible outcome of the death of the thief or an innocent bystander was far from proportionate.
I find it quite disappointing that some on here think the death of another person is deserved because he stole a bit of metal worth about 30 quid

It's a biography, not an autobiography.

The second half is... well it's the favourite 4 biographies, not including the bits which say he was married and stuff... badly translated from Coptic to Latin and then badly translated to English.

The first half is just a weird "kill-your-first-born-****-off-out-of-my-garden-here's-a-shitload-of-water" grumpy Victor Meldrew sketch

I hope your not talking about Jesus? It was the fella next to him that had been on the rob. Whilst on the subject, does nobody find it ironic that a Carpenter was killed by wood and nails?

So he was escaping from the police by riding his bike off the dock and into the harbour, only then he remembered he couldn't swim. My personal reserves of sympathy are a little low to expend any here.

I would rather let a thief stealing my bike go rather than he die. Any other suggestion is inhuman. What he might do to me to get the bike is to me immaterial.

He didn't die stealing a bike, he died evading the police. It isn't really a question of the value of property, should we abandon all law and order because criminals might do something stupid and kill themselves?

Perhaps my 10 years in the army and 12 in the fire service have caused be to be somewhat flippant towards death.

Well, my dads's time in the military made him appreciate the value of life more. It's a little shocking that, even on a cycling forum, that people will think that the world will be better now that someone has died in connection with stealing a bike.

How many of you speed? Text what driving? Run that temporary traffic light because no one is coming the other way? I am certainly not religious but let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Just because he stole? Or stole a bike some people seem glad. WTF?!

That was someone's little boy once upon a time. No one knows how he came to be running away from the police because he stole some piece of sh*t bike. When I read something like this article I imagine how desperate that person must have been to do what he/she did and consider the sequence of events that lead from that person being a little boy/girl, playing with a stuffed toy to thinking that the best option in their life is to choose a situation that leads to their death.

I am not a hippy or a super hardened former SAS soldier but Jesus Christ. Show some compassion.
