Lord Trollington wrote: » Basically a lad from my home town, in his mid 20's died this week due to various complications caused by long term hard drug use. He had many convictions, armed robbery & assault to name but a few and spent time in prison. He was an active thug and outright scummer up until the complications started several months ago. Not a weekend would go by where him or one of his cronies would assault someone outside one of the many bars they were barred from after closing. He is from a long line of thugs and many of his midnight buddies he's left behind I would imagine are still strung out on the same hard drugs that killed him at this moment. What I cannot get my head around is the outpouring of grief from a lot of people from the town on social media, very respected business people too. Not 6/7 years ago did he use a hand gun to rob the local mace holding up a young girl from the town with a gun, the shop shortly after closed because of it. I have had little or no dealings with him in 10 years. But maybe my thought process is tainted as my last dealing with him was a headbut which i received when I was 17. Am I being harsh or does an unbelievably filthy past one of bullying, terrorising, beatings and assaults, drug use, robbery, vandalism and many many more be forgiven just like that?

He was bad news, his whole family were bad news, I had run ins with them all, it's safe to say I hated them. But the only emotion I felt on learning of his death was disappointment, both at the ones fawning sympathy over his passing, and those taking delight in it. People are a funny breed, of that there is no doubt.

Chunners wrote: » No sweetheart it is not a "lack of perspective" it is a lack of empathy, I have no reason to feel empathy for people who cry about cu*ts that they know in their hearts, dead or not, were cu*ts. My 12 year old brother died of cancer, he did not deserve to die, in all his life he never hurt anyone. Now I can feel empathy for his parents because they are my parents too and I can feel empathy for all the other parents in his ward who watched their kids die and the kids did nothing but be born but I can't feel empathy for the parents of some scumbag who they ignored the actions of and then expected the whole of society to cry about when he died considering the fact that when he was alive all he did was bring misery to others. Prove me wrong, tell me one (only one) altruistic act he ever did that would make him deserve our respect

I wouldn't have crossed the road to go to it, he terrorised everyone he ever had contact with. The county is a better place without him, now if we could just get rid of his brother!!
The Backwards Man wrote: » Maybe, but there's no way I could take delight in anybody's death, at most mildly sympathetic apathy. I know there's plenty of bad bastards in the world, but I firmly believe not one single person was born that way. Some poor fcukers just don't have a chance.
conorh91 wrote: » I don't. The courts do. The courts dispose of hundreds of thousands of prosecutions annually. You seem to be having difficulty in distinguishing between a prosecution and a funeral. A funeral does not exist to lay down, in stark detail, the wrongs of an accused person. A funeral is typically part of the grieving process for a family who lived independently of another grown adult, for whose wrongs they are not liable. They simply want to grieve their relative in peace. Funerals are for them. Not for the dead. Not for you.

By dying you could learn from his death that you still have a choice between being or becoming the bitter and twisted person he was, or, you can choose to be a better person and learn from their death that you still have a chance to forgive someone their mistakes and misdeeds, and not let their bitterness become your burden. Or, you could simply default to calling then a cnut, like that'll actually change anything. It'll have far more of an effect on you than it will on the person who has died. Happy now? You did only ask for one altruistic act, and because I'm sure it wasn't his choice to die, you could say his death was an altruistic act in itself as it has shown you something about yourself that might be worth you reflecting upon.
