Don't ask for directions in Tasmania (1 Viewer)

[lessthanthree]

A STUDENT on his first day in Tasmania was chased and repeatedly run over and killed after stopping a driver to ask for directions. And when the driver was asked by police why he did it, he replied: "It seemed funny at the time."

right, dont ask for directions in tasmania, ill remember that..
the thing that gets me is;

"I was on the piss and on the drugs ... it seemed funny at the time."

fuck how can someone be so amoral?

Mayne, who had an IQ of 65

that may be a factor :\

All mentally defincent people are a risk to themselves and society.

Lock them all up for life.

what a bastard

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

Oh. My. Gosh.

...what kind of sick freak does that?

 

[chookyn]

damn i thought tasmanians were friendly

there's always exceptions though... what a psycho!

 

[jennylim]

fucking disgusting, what an absolute bastard. people like this make me reconsider the idea of the death penalty.

how could killing an innocent bystander be funny in any circumstance whatsoever???

 

[chookyn]

i know of people who get a disturbing kick out of killing innocents in games like Carmageddon and Grand Theft Auto, and similar titles, but then those are 'just games' (which i personally think are in bad taste).

This guy has to be insane. Only a lunatic would think it's 'funny' to kill someone in real life...

Mr Gouldthorpe was caught under the engine and dragged for more than 20m. His head was run over by both wheels.

that's awful!

Oh shit! Im going to Tasmania next year...maybe i have to change my opinion of Tasmanians.

arent people with an IQ that low considered mentally retarded? If he took the IQ test before and got that score wouldn't the tester diagnose him with mental retardation, ie, why would the RTA even give him a license.

shouldnt the passenger be tried to since he was sort of an instigator to the murder, mayne is mentally retarded and intoxicated and the passenger foolishly tells him to hit the student.

thats really sad i hope both of them die.

What a sick bastard, that's fucking disgusting.

However I would like to say that not all people with mental retardation are sick/uncapable of empthy or logical thought, and people shouldn't jump to that conclusion.

That should not be a factor in this trial, this behavior is truly disgusting and this sick fuck should be locked up.
