Scum of Oldham be proud?

Maybe one for speed plod & the law.

Just watching the Nelly Gerrity case on crimewatch again.

You do have to wonder why some people don't burn in hell,

I'd love to see the perpetrator, drawn, quartered & hung, preferably in that order as it seems most painful

Tw*ts

You might want to add some context/links and the like, I for one have no idea what you're on about.

Yep, I just searched Nelly Gerrity and this thread was the first result on Google!!

[hyperblue]

This thread is the first result for Nelly Gerrity on Google...

[Piersman2]

Come on chaps don't be mean, just use google.

Like I did.

And found myself directed back to this thread.

So just who the fk is Nelly Gerrity?

Drawing a blank on Wikipedia too.

Cryptic thread is cryptic

Scum, needs to be caught and vaporised.

Shes the old lady who died holding on to her handbag when some scrote tried to steal it.
All it contained were her husbands ashes.



And I'd like to point out it was in Shaw not Oldham.

[D1bram]

Horrible.

There are some utter scum about.

[Eighteeteewhy]

Horrible

[Whitester]

Which part do you hang after they're quartered?

[Haggleburyfinius]

Hmm...if this thread has a place anywhere, it's not here in TV forum.

Hate to play devil's advocate (actually, no, I love it) but are we getting all indignant and ridiculously over the top as regards punishments because the crime of killing and old woman for her handbag is somehow WORSE if all that was in it was her old man's ashes or what?

Clearly whoever did it is a filthy scumbag, but I'm fairly certain they wouldn't have bothered trying for the bag if they KNEW it only had some ground up bones in it, so why are the bag contents even relevant? (one could ask why the silly old love was carrying them around in her handbag anyway, but that won't get us anywhere either, I suppose).

The media only dwell on these details to ramp up the righteous indignation of the large section of our populace with little or no perspective. Seems to be working so far.

Doesn't make it a whole lot different for me personally.

Just a nasty incident regardless.

I read it as the ashes being in the bag were relevant as they were probably the reason she fought so hard to hang on to it.

And her perogative to carry them around, wasn't harming anyone else.

What a load of drivel , of course the ashes are relevant given that she wouldnt let go of her bag. there simply is no devils advocate to play.

I think the ultimate scummy cowardly act is that the family appealed to the thief to anonymously tell them what he did with the ashes so they could be buried together. But he never came forward.

Toe rag probably put em up his nose.
