Thread 52886 Geraldton Beach Cricket Murder

I found the fact that it's not safe on the beach at Geraldton very unsettling.

That means it's not safe on any beach where a pair of no-hopers can become 25 or so no-hopers in the blink of an eye, and they have no problem stealing and killing people.

The world leaders are in outrage that Bhutto has been killed (no surprise that that happened) but why aren't the world leaders in outrage at this killing?

This man was worth as much as she, and was killed by no-accounts who will never pay the price.

Kim,
I feel somewhat responsible for the previous Post taking an "unsettling" turn. If I have offended anybody by my comments, I do sincerely apologise.
However, I do not back away from the meaning of my comments.
I too didn't know Bill Rowe, yet I feel as though I did. He sounds like a typical, all-round good bloke, family man and community volunteer etc.
He found himself in a situation whereby he basically had 2 choices: (a) question the 2 blokes and stand-up for himself or
(b) let them help themselves to his drinks (or whatever he had in the esky).

Had he chosen option (b), he would have left himself open to further material losses. It would not have been unreasonable for him to have expected that by challenging them (or whatever he actually did; which obviously wasn't as per (b), above), that they would have simply left the scene and gone away altogether.

I make no bones about the fact that I feel deep sorrow for Bill's family.......there, but the grace of God, go thee, or me.

RIP Bill Rowe.

As for the question asked above: "Why will they never pay?"

The answer to that is quite simple: You cannot pay something you don't have in your possession _TO_ pay. Even if this SOB (who I understand has now been arrested after handing himself in) is sentenced to life imprisonment, that will NOT pay sufficient price for the loss of a bloke who would appear to be worth 10 of that scumbag.

Sorry, there I go again; I do not wish to see this post go the same way as the last, but I simply find it so emotional an issue, that I cannot go on without voicing my opinion.
