R.I.P. - but was it worth it?

I remember an interview years ago between Wogan (I think) & a Saudi Prince, Wogan tried to pick a fight asking if it was barbaric to chop a burglar's hand off, the Prince quietly responded by asking who had the biggest issue with burglars UK or Saudi, Wogan didn't have a valid response.

Alan...

Well as long as it was limited to cycle thieves, You cant ride a bike with one hand for long

He was somebody's son.

Think I would rather be burgled than live in a state that chops off body parts , what do they do to adulterers btw

Don't do it there then!

Would you like to live in Saudi then? Thought not.

He was also a scote. He may or may not have a record of thieving before, Death maybe a bit harsh, but he chose to jump into the dock instead of being caught.

You didn't give him a chance to answer...

Don't do it there then!

And be especially careful not to get raped!

 

[hoopdriver]

That's good advice anywhere

 

[summerdays]

The bike that was found with him wasn't worth nicking let alone dying for.

 

[ColinJ]

That's good advice anywhere

True, but the last thing you want as a rape victim is to be blamed for it and to be sentenced to 90 lashes!

 

[hoopdriver]

Any lashes would be a bit much

Reminds me of a time on the estate when one of the local egits stole some food from the local shop and then decided to jump over a balcony only to fall 15-20ft down onto a tarmac underground loading entrance! I distinctly remember the shop keeper (who I think was chasing him) coming to his aid and then giving him a bag full of supplies for his inevitable visit to the hospital. Think he broke his leg and always walked with a limp after that.... a little reminder perhaps.
