I thought the same thing, actually.
There's something about that whole story that leaves a bad taste with me, even before it became clear what he had actually been up it. When it looked like he was a "hero" it was everyone's favourite feel good story (something the media fixate on far too much now, in my opinion), because even a (*gasp*) homeless man had helped people! You know, because they're usually such awful people and shit. But such was the magnitude of the tragedy even he got off his lazy arse and pitched in! So, of course, he's now deserving of our attention, so let's all raise some money and get him off the streets. He's earned it, after all! What a good lot we all are!
Now it's just a case of fuck him, throw the book at him, what a fucking scumbag etc. And what he's done is very fucked up, I'm not denying that. And he may well have done it based on little more than the fact that he's a massive cunt. But, you know, he did live on the streets. His life has obviously not been ideal up to this point. There are very possibly reasons behind the way he behaved that are beyond any of our comprehensions. Let's not consider that though, because it's not part of a narrative that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
He must surely have got extra for doing it when he did it, like how looting gets you more than normal thieving.
Edibles are bad news, there's no backing out once you realise you've made a mistake and it's only going to get worse from there.

What a colossal twat.
I don't understand this stuff about pardoning the crimes of the women of the suffragette movement. Isn't the message that gives basically "arson is justified so long as your cause is worthy"?
As my dear mother said to me last night, 'This woman stuff is all going a bit overboard'.
I think my mum is actively anti-feminist. She proudly tells a story of when she worked in a factory when she was younger and the men who worked there telling her that she'd put on weight because she had a fat arse and carrying her (literally, so goes the tale) off to be measured on a set of industrial scales.
She also hates basically any female TV presenter / newsreader basically on principle.
My girlfriend is pretty anti-'feminist'. If someone is doing something daft on the road she'll always say "I bet that's a woman".
I still think 'feminism' is just a bad term, in that it just sounds like it's about "Womyn>men" rather than gender equality, and has been hijacked by women who actually think that.
I work in an org that's probably about 75-80% women so you get all types. I manage to get along by not saying anything generic about women, and when someone else does and I ask if that means I can say that, the answer is always no.
I guess it's a bit, 'I can slag off my sister, you can't' thing.
I'd personally outlaw all historic pardoning.
It's an empty gesture and you're applying current laws/society views.
Not if the people getting the pardons have been dead for decades.Originally Posted by Phonics
Exactly. Why not pardon everyone we ever hanged? We don't do it anymore, so they were wronged. It's fucking Tom Watson's fault for getting all of those First World War shirkers let off.
They're used to make politicians look like they care.
If you were hanged for being a bummer, then I can see why a pardon is warranted.
Pardoning for violent crimes just because their cause was just is mental.
You can see the arguments (not that I agree with it) for wiping all the gays' historical criminal records out, because they were just bumming about and minding their own business. Some of these hysterical women were planting bombs.
hysterical women...
You've been spending too much time on Twitter, phonics.
Wow. Just wow.
Phonics, mate. Take a break from yourself.
Did phonics delete something because I can't see what you're all on about.
Calm down phonics.
That clears it up at least.

Didn't know scrapping daylight savings was even under consideration. Hopefully they fuck it off once and for all.

A suspected big cat poacher has been eaten by lions near the Kruger National Park in South Africa, police say.
The animals left little behind, but some body parts were found over the weekend at a game park near Hoedspruit.
"It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions," Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe told AFP.
"They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left his head and some remains."
Should have stuffed and mounted the head on a wall.
