Seems to be lots of grim news out there at the moment. Sadly nothing really suprises me anymore.

How odd, are they trying to say it was anti-hunt protesters?

Not sure how it was murder? Dangerous gyrocoptering maybe.

I'd hang fire before drawing too many conclusions. Something like this, its not uncommon to arrest just to be on the safe side - even if it later transpires to be accidental.

I think, and hope your probably right, in a similar manner that the police arrest drivers after fatal accidents in order that any evidence is collected under caution should it need to be used. I have never had strong views on hunting and respect both sides of the argument. One would hope that protesters who placed a high price on the sanctity of animal life, would place the same value on human life.

Idiot.

That said as far as tombstones go, "killed by a gyrocopter" is right up there as amongst the coolest around.

So, never eaten meat in your life I take it? Never sat on leather seats? Never had leather shoes? Never hit a bird whilst driving your car?

That is unimportant, what is important is that I have never killed an animal due to me being a sadistic tt who hunts for the sake of sport.

So you are saying that as long as you don't have to do the killing you are fine with it? Who cares about the animals that die. Except if I'm hungry and it comes in plastic from the supermarket.

Are you saying that as long as you eat the animals you hunt it is fine?

How can you not notice a Gyrocopter heading for you?!!

They are noisy and slow!

As for the charges, well I think perfectly plausible for them to get away without prison, due to mental health reasons. After all they were in a Gyrocopter.

Horton > Colonial was right Idiot is a perfect term for you.

That's a nasty, hate-filled little post. Care to clarify why you put less value on the lives of humans than foxes? That seems to be the extent of your argument - "he supported fox-hunting, therefore it is great to see him die a nasty, painful and violent death". I'm guessing that if hunting involved running over foxes in a gyrocopter you would be against it. But it's OK with you if humans are killed in this way?

why is it relevant that he was a hunt supporter?
