Hope this doesn't happen around here
 
Let's have your thoughts on this disturbing news!


Man dies after ambulance attacked - Times Online

It’s just getting too much now. These bastards should be dealt with in the strongest terms with public shaming, four figure fines and heavy sentencing. Where life is taken as a result of these attacks either to crews or those in their care then there should be a minimum sentence of 20 years or an alternative sentence of 5 years front line Military Service.

Personally I think the crew should have drove over the little bastards and then ask them if they would like to ring for an Ambulance.

Any idiots that attack any of the emergency services should be locked up for a long time.

Re: Hope this doesn't happen around here
 
I remember when I was younger there were two sorts of scifi futuristic films. There were the ones where it was all chrome and clean and super hi-tech with people living wonderful lives with all mod cons etc and then there were the bleak post nuclear scenario types with people living like wild beasts and scavenging for scraps, with no clean water and living in filth and squalour.

I used to think the former was how it was all going to be and that the latter was cynical gloomy nonsense.

How wrong I was. We seem to be heading rapidly towards the latter without even having had the nuclear holocaust.

How on earth could we ever have come to this, where an ambulance crew have to abandon a man whose life they are trying to save because some unruly yobbos who no doubt 'know their rights' force them away by pelting them with missiles?

I totally agree but the excuse will be that they can't prove he wouldn't have died even if the paramedics had been able to treat him.

Its awful that. How could they do that. One day it could be them in an ambulance and some kids do that and stop the paramedics treating them. Wonder how they would like it. What if the person they were treating was their granddad or gran - or another member of their family? Would they still stand there and chuck stones or would they be telling them to hurry up and get to the hospital? Have you ever been attacked ber or any round here?

Let us hope that what goes around, comes around for these reprobates.....if they can be seen to have contributed to the death of this man, then they should be charged with manslaughter.

WillowTheWhisp 26-07-2007 14:12

Re: Hope this doesn't happen around here
 
I wonder if they were ever smacked?

Yeah they probably were, every Saturday night, smacked up to the eyeballs.

What an awful thing to happen. And the article said that attacks like this are on the increase. What on earth would cause anyone to "go on attack" against an emergency vehicle? Is this some kind of warped game, challenge to them?

Boy this gets me dander up and it's too early in the morning for that. My sympathese to the folks of England for this latest form of terror. How long will it take American hoodlums from doing some thing even more insane? Oh wait, I'm sure they already have.:(

They'll probably be from a deprived background so will need to be sent on safari to Kenya followed by a winter ski-ing holiday. :rolleyes:

Alright Sir, I shall accept your first statement (:rolleyes:) but I am almost positive you are not the Pope. Think of it, Pope Cashy I (I would presume you'd be the first) chewing baccy in a pub with absinthe flowing!:p

Personally not been in such a situation but have had some close calls. You have to approach each job with caution. Don't think any crews around this area have been attacked in that manner but some have been assaulted.

its damm disgusting, the services are provided for our help & saftey & you get (can't swear) yobs like this its horrifying.

It really is bizarre ... just when you start to think that the world can't get any crazier, you read something like this ... unbelievable, almost.

I suppose I'm one of your "cure the symptom brigade" Cashy?

Personally I am at a loss to even try and understand why anyone would want to attack Fire and Ambulance staff.

I can understand why people (criminals and rioters) attack police (not agree with but if you're a crim you attack the cops).

This is a vile subhuman attack on people whose job is do their best to save other peoples lives. Someone has now died because they were "having a laugh". Yes they should be either banged up or if under that age then youth custody, and let it be known why they are in there.

As regards cure the symptom, ask any parent during the summer holidays, there isn't any organised activities for the kids nowadays.

But do not think for one second I am condoning what the little scrotes did.

For once I'm stuck for words, these cretins have brought shame on what is a pretty nice place, Ashton- In- Makerfield, I hope the good people of the town will deal with these sub-humans in their midst.

We're not able to say whether or not the gent would have lived but I think it can be said that the crew should not have been held up in that manner so as to give the gent the best possible chance

Re: Hope this doesn't happen around here
 
Well if they ever find who the yob,s are i think they should be lock,t up for the rest of there life and the would see what they have done.

LancYorkYankee 27-07-2007 17:01

Re: Hope this doesn't happen around here
 
What's the latest on this? Do they have all the perps in custody or are they at least known to the authorities?

Brian
