Default Boys killed by Underground train after spraying graffiti


wrote in message

Two young boys have been hit and killed by a London Underground (LU)
train in Barking in east London.

British Transport Police (BTP) said they were part of a group of four
boys who had been writing graffiti in a depot late on Friday night.

What kind of people, in their early twenties, spend a Friday night spraying
paint on Underground trains in sidings and whilst services are still
running? If it were teenagers you could put it down to youthful
recklessness, but people aged 21 and 23? They can vote, work and pay taxes
and (theoretically) have completed a university education. It is sad that
there are people like these that have clearly been left behind by society.
