In some parts of the world they chop off your hand and leave you disfigured for the rest of your life

Maybe you can take care of your 'hombre' when he needs to be changed

Guess we will have to just agree to disagree.

Mandi90TT · 06-06-2021, 05:38 PM

No sympathy from me.

eluded · 06-07-2021, 02:21 AM

I saw this and thought about Mercedes totally blowing it inAzerbaijan today

Germanauto · 06-07-2021, 10:46 AM

I have no sympathy for thieves.

All I can say is had he not been there that event wouldn’t have happened.

NeverL8 · 06-07-2021, 12:57 PM

Do I feel bad for his grieving family? Absolutely!

Do I feel bad for a menace to society who was ruining other people lives for his benefit, because lazy pos didn’t want to get a job like the rest of us? Absolutely hell to the NO

To be fair, he did get a job. Probably some hard work involved with it too.

He just succumbed to a hazard of the job.

Its hard to have sympathy for a criminal who is killed while committing a crime.
I feel bad for the guy who discovered that though. That's some PTSD right there.

My bro says:

"he knew the risk, he took it and he got what he deserved and hes also ruining someones elses day, karma always come back

If he was stealing from a big corp, then rip, but hes taking from an honest hardworker. God answered that with death"

POS that steals CC's but a horrible way to die, probably Merc didn't have park brake engaged.

This is the problem with our current American society. It's not sad the dumbass thief died because he was stealing someone else's property. We all should see this as a fortunate event that some young asshole is now dead and out of the gene pool; hopefully hasn't yet procreated to backfill his spot.

Apparently the health benefits were less than to be desired.

Should OSHA be called in to perform a root-cause analysis of why the dude died?

All crime increases costs for those who are not criminals. It doesn't matter who the victim is, whether it is a Corporation or individual.

How's this: I'm not gonna feel sorry for the dude, but otoh I'm not gonna relish this fact and go around cheering about it either. This wasn't a punishment meted out by humans but decided upon by the cosmic universe, who's gonna question that? It is what it is...

This is a heavy situation.

Let’s just squash it.

Thats a pretty broad brush you're painting with there

Id beg to differ

No it's not a broad brush. If property theft, it increases insurance costs that are spread over all the insured. If personal assault, more crime means more enforcement, means more police, means more jails, more public defenders, larger judicial systems, means more taxes.
