Raped after being 20p short of the bus fare

Desperately sad story...

Just 20p - surely someone on the bus had 20p spare, not that its their fault.

 

Just sickening. Of course its not their fault but you would have though late at night common sense would prevail and someone would help out. Of course we dont know whether the other passengers even knew what was going on so judgement really must be reserved. Unfortunatly just one of many frequent examples of the evil which humanity is capable.

 

What the hell has this got to do with football?

 

I really cant understand people who do this, disgusting scum. Also a bit embarrassing no one would lend 20p i would like to think i would even if it was just to save 8 minutes of waiting

 

Nothing. But as per the post by ChannonFodder the off-topic threads are expected and will be allowed as there is no real football for us to discuss.

We have a Euro thread and a Summer Transfer thread that are regularly used. I don't see the issue.

 

I just don't see the point in this thread at all. I don't mind off-topic stuff for the most part but this is just beyond comprehension. As if anyone has anything insightful to say about this.

 

That doesn't make sense to me. As has been said non football discussions are being allowed over the summer. Why can't we discuss bad things? Just because it's sad tragedies like this are sadly a part of life and so have as much right to be disscussed. If you don't like it you don't have to read it.

 

I get that non-football discussions are allowed, but why would you choose to 'discuss' (in other words agree that it's bad because there's really nothing else you can say about it) something like this? Why do you want to remind yourself (and everyone else, because contrary to what you say we do all have to read it as it appears on the southampton board now) that this kind of thing goes on every time you feel like reading about the football team you support? Sheesh.

 

Yh I agree to an extent that most people who come on here do so for enjoyment. However if non topic things are discussed then some people will have things they don't want to discuss about some things which they may want to avoid. Although clearly more people would rather avoid this type of disscussion. There clearly are
things to disscuss about things like this such as how may we prevent it happening why does it happen etc whether that discussion occurs is of course up to the
posters on here.
I'm not saying I like these discussions (on this ocasion I felt compelled to comment) however if we allow non topic posts then it seems arbitrary to not allow bad topics.

 

Getting back on Topic . A a spokesperson for the bus company said the driver had not stuck by his training and had been disciplined .
