Suspected arson attack on Newbury home Options

[theone09]

This going to keep bugging me unless i say something. Parts if this story are wrong.

• 'Occupants of a burning Newbury house manage to escape without serious injury'.
  There was no one in the house at the time of the fire, because the person that lived in the house had to be called by friends.
  
• 'more than an hour to extinguish the flames'.
  It didn't take an hour to put out it took about half an hour, this fire was just up the road from where i live, & i was stood watching(i know you shouldn't really).
  
• 'just before 10pm'.
  It wasn't just before 10pm it was more like 10:30pm.

The NWN should really learn to get things right!

That my rant!

Ever known a Journalist to let the truth get in the way of a good story?

I hear that his ambition is to be editor of The Daily Mail.

On a more serious note, why have they let the suspect out on bail if they think he is capable of committing such a dreadful act?

They let everyone out on bail, it's stupid I expect they'll let a murderer out on bail next!

"alleged murderer" I expect you meant

They do in the States. Allegedly.

Of course, that depends if they've got enough money, like everything else over there (health care, anyone?).

I'm just suprised they did not give him a jerrycan and a few matches as he left.....

The justice system is an a*s.
It is beyond belief.

because there is no other option to bail someone when at an early stage of an investigation there is insufficient evidence to charge. Right or wrong thats the way the law stands.

Imagine keeping people in whilst the enquires continue........
Oh yes the terror laws have that and look at the fuss that created..........

Yes, I know and understand but it seems wrong to allow someone who may do this again whilst on bail to go free.
How often have you heard of re-offending while the criminal is on bail.
It seems the justice system is happy to put the general public at risk rather that risk offending the rights of the criminal.
This sort of thing is driving a wedge between the law abiding citizen and the Justice system in this Country.

Unless of course there is sufficient evidence to suspect that the person is likely to cause either himself or another harm. Difficult call to make though. There is also the added problem with cell space etc. not enough resources.

• 'Occupants of a burning Newbury house manage to escape without serious injury'.
  There was no one in the house at the time of the fire, because the person that lived in the house had to be called by friends. It doesn't say that the occupant was the resident, could it have been friends/guests in the house
  
• 'more than an hour to extinguish the flames'.
  It didn't take an hour to put out it took about half an hour, this fire was just up the road from where i live, & i was stood watching(i know you shouldn't really). An hour from when though, could have taken half an hour to get the engines there and up and running
  
• 'just before 10pm'.
  It wasn't just before 10pm it was more like 10:30pm.

Oh come on, that's pedantic, it's a news report not a minute by minute account!

The NWN should really learn to get things right!

[theone09]

OK then, there wasn't anyone in the house

I was stood up there as it was up the road from where i live! so i know how long it took!

How am putting it as minute by minute!!

Your the pathetic one, this is my 1st post on here, grow up you idiot!

I don't think Strafin was calling you pathetic, if you re-read it he used the word pedantic, not the same thing.

[Strafin]

I wasn't calling anyone pathetic, I was asking, hence the question mark, although clearly written language isn't your strong point. Thanks for the back up Sarah.

OK, I'm sorry

[Strafin]

OK, I'm sorry

Alright me too, friends? Welcome to the forum. Sometimes I get wound up, sometimes I wind people up, it is never intentional!

Oh dear, not a good start there!

[Guest_Bill1_*]

And yes, I do realise that you quite rightly said sorry afterwards.

Even though theone09 was right about Strafin!
