Well hopefully he won't complain too much and realise why they did what they did. I know it's a dangerous game we are entering into, but I'd have an hard time dealing with it if he did. Which I do understand, but its an interesting discussion and I reckon if it happened to you then you wouldn't dismiss it so readily as people doing what they thought was right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it doesn't make it right and I don't think that pass should stretch to immunity from prosecution - if they'd broken his arm, then they should face consequences - thankfully, in so far as we know that's not the case here - but we can't allow the hysterical voices in our media to create a fear so great it encourages the law of the mob, it's just not a sensible way to go. Yes we can't have rules bended here and there because of we thought there was an attack, but common sense should prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Of course, on the flipside, if he was driving dangerously then he doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. Has dangerous driving been ruled out and it confirmed as a genuine accident? Edited October 8, 2017 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that would of been me I'd like to think after the initial shock of the accident then being pinned down I'd have no hard feelings. Infact I'm pretty sure I'd just brush it off and I'd understand.

Just because he drove dangerously and injured people doesn't give other people the right to pile on. We don't really have a huge grasp of exactly what happened but it wasn't as if people were giving him a kicking. It's possible that he tried to flee the scene, in which case restraining him would be wholly justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
