Re: Swift Justice
 

I'm sorry, I just naturally find the topic of setting people on fire a sensitive issue. If you think back to just under 2yrs ago my friend lost his entire family to a fire before dying himself a short while later of cancer, and I still get a bit touchy over the image of fire in general. Sorry for being over sensitive about the issue.

Re: Swift Justice
 

if you drive over the tops between great harwood and rishton near a wooded area called the pines you can still see a chared post where a man was burned to a crisp so we have actualy had this behaviour here and very close to home

if i remember correctly it was over a dispute between two families but was at first treated as a racist attack but it was a long time ago in the late 80's or early 90's and i cant remember the details completely

Re: Swift Justice
 

Is it that long ago? Didn't they build an image of what they thought he would look like?

Re: Swift Justice
 

yeah i think they did , if i remember correctly they got the guys who did it and thats when it was discovered it was a family dispute and not a racist lynching

they had tied the poor sod to the post and set him on fire which i suppose mimics some of the KKK's behaviour so no real surprise it was first treated as a racist attack

cant find the story using google but theres a few other similar murders around accrington and not so long ago either

got to admit though i would love to see a pedo or drug dealer rolling around on fire trying to put himself out because their pain would be nothing compared to what they had caused and what better way to arrive in hell than already on fire

Re: Swift Justice
 

Accyman much as I despise the paedophiles and drug dealers I just could not wish to see anybody rolling around on fire.

Re: Swift Justice
 

that is your opinion and my suggestion would be for you turn away while i get the matches

mind you they say sh*t dosnt burn so it may be pointless after all ;)

There was a similar thing on the grane rd to haslingden, rumour was that the victim was ready to run away because she did not want to marry her 'chosen one'.

Only this morning it was stated in the Mail that they have started using the necklace again in South Africa, this time over employment. Must be to much to ask for these people to become civilised:mad:
