Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[El Jefe]

Some of you people are pathetic. You see much, much worse than that picture on the news and in movies every day.

May I just remind all of you that the link came with a warning, and that you chose to view the picture for yourselves. I didn't just post it in the thread as many would have done.

Slimeball

*yawn* namecalling is playground pathetic. Grow up.

 

[teuchter]

Local news, local interest. I'm not interested in probably 95% of the stuff that gets posted on this forum, but I don't feel the need to attack everyone because I don't happen to agree with them.

What possible benefit to anyone was there in posting the photograph?

You mention that "worse" images are aired on the television. They are, rarely. I am sometimes uncomfortable with this but at least they serve the purpose of illustrating how bad a situation is somewhere. Making people aware of whatever horrors are going on, perhaps provoking them to do something about it.

In this case there was nothing to be gained from posting the image, and a large possibility that it could be very upsetting to someone. A friend or relative of whoever was involved in the accident for example.

All anyone needs to know here is that there was a nasty road traffic accident and this is why the hill was closed off this morning.

I didn't look at your photo by the way. Unfortunately I saw it for myself walking to the tube this morning.

 

[tarannau]

Is Brixton Hill still closed off? need to go into the office this afternoon and want to know if I should go over to Tooting for the tube instead.

It was still closed about 30mins ago...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

You're entitled to that opinion. I'm sure you'll find that the animal rights loonies have posted far more gruesome pictures around the internet.

That's a bonkers argument. "There are sick fucks about who I think are sicker fucks, so I'm not a sick fuck."

you're the one who needs to grow up, ghoulish little shit

 

[ajdown]

I didn't look at your photo by the way. Unfortunately I saw it for myself walking to the tube this morning.

... so you have no reason to get upset about the picture as it wasn't something new to you.

*shrug*

 

[ajdown]

Enough.

 

[El Jefe]

Enough.

Oh really - and you're the arbiter of that how?

 

[quimcunx]

... so you have no reason to get upset about the picture as it wasn't something new to you.

*shrug*

As you say it is a local story and this a local forum. Seeing a photo of your son's very distinctive-looking jacket on a bulletin board is not a good way to find out he's been run over and is possibly dead, or is it?

 

[ajdown]

I have better things to do than waste time being trolled by you. Therefore, I once again ask you to stop the puerile name-calling and request that you either post something of substance, or don't bother, as the old saying goes.

... and you know who was involved how?

 

[tarannau]

When the fuck have you posted something of substance AJ, you know something that isn't all 'me, me and me' self interest or posting up ghoulish pic links for no reason at all?

Trolling my arse. It's you with the desperate self-justifications for your actions.

 

[El Jefe]

a slimeball with very very poor comprehension skills. This just gets better.

How on earth do you get from quimcunx's post to your fuckwitted response?

 

[ajdown]

I contribute. If only you could see past your prejudices, you might actually learn something.

I'm sure there is help available for you if only you choose to seek it.

 

[ajdown]

I don't know about you, but if I'd seen that picture and thought it might have involved someone I knew, the first thing I'd do is try and contact them to see if they were ok - not waste time posting about it here.

 

[quimcunx]

... and you know who was involved how?

I don't understand what you mean by this question.

 

[El Jefe]

that's not what she said, you daft twat

What precisely would I learn from you AJ. How to be a narrow self-obsessed goon who lacks social skills and dislikes the modern intermingled world?

I've said before I find the whole immediate interest in chasing the details of yellow incident signs a little distasteful and unnecessary on here. If only because I've known one of the people involved in one of the incidents before and it's slightly disconcerting to see people rushing to give second hand gossip about what supposedly happened for no particular reason other than human curiosity. This photo taking lark took it to a whole new level mind - what possible purpose did it serve?

 

[Badgers]

I will miss Brixton this weekend

 

[quimcunx]

Okay. How would you feel if you'd left for work leaving your girlfriend at home, because she doesn't leave until a bit later. You logged on here at work. ''Ooh'', you think, ''there's been an accident just down the road from ours. A bad one, judging by what people are saying about the blood and discarded belongings. A photo? I'll click on it..........


.....That's my girlfriend's bag...''?

It's hardly a "photo taking lark"; I had to walk past it, I always carry my camera in my bag, and at the time decided to take a picture. That's it, nothing more, no special journey or arrangements, period.

Can you honestly say that nobody at all might have made a special journey that way just to have a look to see what the accident was? It's human curiousity.

Look at this picture se5 posted in the "London & South East" forum about "Noodels City" that just opened in Camberwell, and an incident where the police were called.

Loads of rubberneckers stopped having a good stare to see what was going on. Nobody complained over that.

Or is it just the fact that someone - as yet unidentified - got injured that makes a difference?

I don't understand how he doesn't get this. Weird.

 

[tarannau]

Snapping a picture of a dodgy sign at a noodel (sic) bar for a jokey thread and stopping to take a photo near a road traffic incident where someone has been seriously injured are in no way equivalent you moron.

 

[ajdown]

.....That's my girlfriend's bag...''?

Hypothetical but possible. I might be grateful to have found out to have had the chance to rush to hospital and get to see her and hold her hand and tell her how much I love her, before she dies 5 hours later whilst I'm still at work completely oblivious to what's happened.

I'd leg it to the hospital/phone the police and thank fuck I found out to be honest.

sorry, but I'd rather know than not know, and if the police hadn't already contacted me, when would I have found out if I hadn't seen the pic.

[quimcunx]

Of course people have morbid curiosity, aj, but it's a bit different from finding yourself looking at a picture of your friend or family's blood on the road. You don't know who all are reading this forum. There are a lot of lurkers and one of them could be related to the person involved.
