Just watched this program on BBC and cried my eyes out for an hour. List of the dead; ******** aged 45 (teacher died trying to save the littlun's) ******** aged 5 (repeat 16 times) Ffs why?
I just can' t get my head round it - couldn't the first time either but this just brought it all back
A long read -but a thought provoking article nonetheless ... http://www.dunblaneexposed.info/201...ing-covered-up-by-the-system-thomas-hamilton/
Just read half way through that - very interesting i will read it all again in full tommorow when i will be a bit more composed
Sorry Diddles misread your post - no mention of a cover up the program was more focussed on what happened and the aftermath for families. One lassie who was a baby at the time remembered asking her mother later on if she used to have blond hair because she saw a photo of her sister who had died there and then her mother had to explain what happened. One other thing that did stick out for me was the police spokesman at the time regretted having a press conference telling the ****ehawks the number of victims before he had gone to see the parents who were housed next door to the school. I don't believe in god and the devil but I hope I am wrong and Hamilton (the t**t with the four handguns) is having a red hot poker shoved up his jacksy every hour on the hour for the rest of eternity
Aye just done a google search here is an extract from the article I found; Murray, and elder brother Jamie were pupils at Dunblane Primary School where Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and one teacher on March 13, 1996, opening fire on a class of five and six-year-olds in the gymnasium with four handguns. Murray had been walking to the gym when the shootings had begun. In the programme, called “Andy Murray: The Man Behind the Racquet”, his mother Judy said the family knew the 43-year-old unemployed former shopkeeper, and had even given him lifts in their car. Recalling the shooting, she said: “Andy’s class were on their way to the gym, his class were the next ones in the gym. His class was stopped when somebody went up, when they heard the noise and discovered what had happened. “I was one of hundreds of mums that were queuing up at the school gates waiting to find out what had happened, not knowing if your children were alive or not.” PS that link that Diddles put up is an interesting read (about freemasons cover ups etc)
My oldest was the same age when it happened. I couldn't watch the news for weeks after. Same when the little Bulger laddie was killed.
Its got to a stage where you read the news and the headline 'gun massacre in school' comes as no suprise.
Cinema's, malls, airports...the list is endless...you just hope here that your not in the wrong place at the wrong time.....how's it in Thailand?....They have a handle on these things or is it just the same as everywhere else?
Guns are rife, always people getting shot. I once saw some fella get killed by some teenagers on motorbikes. They hit the wrong target. They were trying to shoot a taxi driver but hit the bloke on his bike next to it. In the neck. Crime scene was a joke, people mulling around talking pics on their phones.
