ST PAUL'S CRAY: Teenagers killed in stolen car crash

Jay Sonny-Barry was one of the boys who died following yesterday's crash Jay Sonny-Barry was one of the boys who died following yesterday's crash

TEENAGERS who were killed after a two car-smash in St Paul’s Cray were travelling in a stolen vehicle, police said today.

Jay Sonny-Barry was driving the stolen green Honda Civic when it collided with another car.

The 18-year-old, from St Paul’s Cray, was taken to Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, where he died early yesterday morning.

Backseat passenger Larry Hall suffered a cardiac arrest in the accident which happened in St Paul's Cray Road at around 12.15am yesterday (January 25).

Ambulance crews could not resuscitate him and he was pronounced dead at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup, an hour later.

Front seat passenger Grant Holland was also taken to the Royal London Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

Police say the car was stolen from nearby Leesons Way at around 11pm on Saturday evening.

Passers-by pulled the three teenagers out of the burning Honda after the accident and also rescued the 61-year-old driver of the other car.

He was taken to Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, suffering from a broken hip and elbow and cuts.

Tributes left at the scene of the crash

Floral tributes have been left by a tree near to where the crash happened.

Part of a message by someone called Rebecca says: “My baby . . . .Words cannot describe how I feel.

"I loved you more than anything.

"You were my world, you still are . . . I love you more than words can say.

"Lots of love little one, your Rebecca. xx Sweet dreams xx Baby xx.”

Another message reads: “Can’t believe you’re gone. My fellow Pimp. R.I.P. Jay xx Brendan x.”

Friends of the teenagers have also been paying their respects online.

On the News Shopper website Jodie00, from Orpington, said: “RIP Larry and Jay. both great boys who r gonna be missed by everyone.

"Grant please pull through and get home soon. Love to you all ****.”

And JordanGlen, also from Orpington, said: “RIP Jay and Larry.

"Jay you were the one that stuck up for me in school.

"You were the one I look at and said you’re kinda cool.

"You were the one that made people smile.

"Mr Hay Barry we shall see you in a while.

"Jay Barry and Larry Hall, loved by many, missed by everyone on behalf of everyone that knows you.”

Some wreckage from the crash is still at the scene

Fire crews from across the area attended the incident and several roads including part of Leesons Hill and Royal Parade were closed while emergency services were at the scene.

Police want to speak to anyone who witnessed the accident or has information about what happened.

Anyone who can help should call the south east collision investigation unit on 020 8284 5925.

What a terrible waste of 2 young lads.
These boys didnt know it was going to end like this but The stupid thing they did cost them their lifes, I hope this will stop other young lads who knew this boys from doing the same thing.
My thought are with the families and friends of Jay and Larry, they were not bad lads but just made a very stupid mistake.

As the parent of 2 teenage lads I can only imagine how the parents and family of those killed/injured must be feeling. My heart goes out to them!!

I'm sure that, if they could, those involved in this tragedy would waste no time telling their friends and peers NOT to copy their example. Driving around in stolen cars is not big, it's not right and all too often has tragic consequences not only for those directly involved but for totally innocent people. They have families and loved ones too!

I hope this tragedy will impress upon some of those who might get involved in car theft, the very grave danger they're placing themselves (and others) in and make them think again. Life's too precious to be thrown away like this!!

I sincerely hope the 61 yr old victim in the other car makes a speedy recovery and the parents of these boys make a substantial contribution to buying you a new car and paying all your insurance premiums. You are very lucky to be alive. I am sorry to say but I have not one bit of sympathy for the boys, they knew what the consequences could be stealing a car and letting a moron with no driving skills drive. Oh forgot what about contributing to the poor person whose car they stole and now has to get a bus everywhere!!!

A car is stolen at around 11pm from a side road which is a crescent leading nowhere. Therefore whoever stole it went out of their way to look for a car to steal. Over an hour later and less than a mile away it is in collision with another vehicle. Where was it, and what was it used for during that period? Used to go somewhere, parked outside someone’s house maybe, someone knows something and is therefore an accessory to this crime! Two young people have been killed, a third is in a critical condition in hospital. There are great expressions of grief for the perpetrators of the crime that has brought about their own deaths with no mention of sympathy for the innocent and seriously injured driver of the other vehicle. Would the same friends of these criminals be expressing grief and sympathy if they had escaped unharmed, but have killed an innocent family in the other vehicle? I doubt it!

After reading all the messages from jay and Larry's friends, not ONE has mentioned the innocent man with his now broken hip, or the actual car owner . . . They must be so proud of their two dead friends.

I would just like to say how desperately sorry I am for the all the victims and their families. This was such a needless loss of life and it caused a knock on effect as two others, one of those being the innocent driver of the other car are in seriously ill in hospital.

We all know that stealing a car, for whatever reason is wrong, but I am sure these boys had no realisation of the havoc and devastation that this stupid silly action would cause.

I really hope others will learn, but somehow I don’t think they will and I am sure we will be reading more stories like this in the future.

I kan not get over what has happened!
Not seeing jays silly faces he pulls or his mad moments!
Its not fair, That things like this happene to good people!
They made a stupid mistake, But didnt deserve their lifes to be taken for the conseqences!
So do not judge them everyone makes misatkes!
You are gunaa be missed soo much! But never forgotten!
We were luckily enough to have had you in our lifes, Even if it wernt long enough!
And you have left us wif soo many memories!
Watch down on everyone, Will see you sooon!
Sleep tight boys. Love you!

South East London...and others.

This was just a mistake??

Stealing someones car is not a mistake believe me, driving a stolen car and being alowed to be carried in a stolen car is not a mistake. This I guarantee was not the 1st time they stole a car, I am sick and tired of seeing scumbags treating other peoples property(incl cars)with no respect. Crashing into innocent people and running away leaving people dead or trapped. Sorry folks but it's their own fault but look on the bright side....motor vehicle crime will go down in the area.!!!!!

I'm absolutely stunned and sickened by some of the comments posted on this article. Larry is my cousin and yes he was a passenger in a car which had been stolen, but he and Jay did not deserve to die. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all. Put yourself in in the position my family is in right now and imagine how you would feel. Our family is going through enough without having to read these disgusting comments. I'm sure this is the same for members of Jay's family as well.
It makes me sick to my stomach and I suggest that people think of the effect reading these comments is going to have on the family members of the young boys involved before they post anything.

specificaly to max dartford you are heartless. that persons car can be replaced unlike the two young lives that were taken from us dear freinds!! there poor familes at home griveing for there children and you are disrespecting them.. everybody makes mistakes but sadly they never got to learn from theres. Jay and larry were good kids and no matter what they did they didnt deserve that. heaven has gained two angels.. xx

If these so called angels had survived they would have runaway and left him to die, you know that and the rest of the world does.....me heartless, I don't think so.

I agree. They didn't steal this car by mistake, they did it on purpose and have probably done it before. How many stolen cars are dumped and set alight not far from there at the top of Star Lane. Car stealing in the area is rife!

It would be a completely different thing if this was YOUR family or if the car wasn't stolen. No, they didn't steal the car by mistake, we are all quite aware of that, but do you really think they intended to do what they did? No.

I bet everyone in your family is a saint yeah max and carparkattendant, and use have never made mistakes in your lifes as you both are so god **** perfect, where above does it say that larry and jay was little angels, it doesn't, it says how loved they was and how it was a pleasure to know them. They have done plenty of good things in the short life that they had but obviously you would not know that as this is probably the first time you have ever head of Jay & Larry.
Yes a 61 year old man is in hospital and I hope he makes a speedy recovery.
And yes a car was stolen and damaged but it can be replaced unlike Jay & Larry, they will never be replaced. So before you sit there on your high horses picking out the faults in everyone else, think of how jay & larrys family feel, think how perfect your family are because i can bet you they aint that perfect, everyone does wrong but some with more serious consequnces, they did not deserve to die.
Seeing as you did not have the privallage to no them you have no right to say that they would run away and leave the man if they had survived.

Very sad for all concerned but had the car not been stolen those involved would not be injured or dead. The innocent parties have to pick up the pieces and those left behind have to rebuild their lives. There will be those who attended the scene whose lives will be forever affected and you have to ask why these boys thought stealing a car was acceptable and their friends who see that behaviour as normal. This, as some have commented was not a mistake, incorrect spelling is a mistake, stealing a car is theft.

Marty1979 says...
6:59pm Mon 26 Jan 09

o they didn't have a chance to learn from their mistakes? Was this the first time they'd stolen a car - I doubt it.

There is an innocent man in hospital thanks to their actions. When he comes out he is faced with having to pay to replace his car.

They had no realisation of what would happen? Probably not, but in addition to the theft of the car I wonder what speed they were doing to cause that much damage

I have just as much right as you do to log on and read the comments. It involves MY family member, and i have the right to say what i want on here without you telling me what i can and can't do. Unfortunately you are one of the low lives who like to sit behind a computer and talk a load of crap about something you don't really know about, without thinking what you are saying first. You didn't know the boys involved. I'd love to see you try and have your say in the matter to one of the parents to the boys. See how they feel about your input.

Please can you all think of the family and friends that are going through such a sad time. I am sure that there parents were not aware of them steeling the car on Saturday. So please can we stop putting nasty comments on here and just think of them feeling this sadness.

no one was intending to or deliberately crash into a 61 year old, it was just wrong place wrong time, no one was left for dead, the passers by didnt have to to put their own health and safety at risk but they did! stop being so hard hearted, friends and family are grieving for their loss, if you have nothing positive to say then dont bother commenting no one needs your input, no ones stating that they are innocent but you cant turn back time! if they could im sure they would but they dont have the chance due to a genuine mistake, all boys are bound to commit a car crime at one stage in their life, boys will be boys, im sure you wasnt perfect growing up. I didnt know Jay & Larry but they sound like such lovely boys, let their friends and family grieve they dont want to be reading stupid mindless peoples comments, put yourself in their positions to see how it feels losing someone close to you. Oh and max your from the dartford area arent you? well dont worry about our area and property its not you that has to live round here! stupid idiot grow up and act your age, Im sorry for your loss
Rest in peace Jay & Larry

Larry had unfortunately already passed but there was a team of people trying to bring him back.
That night will be with me forever, my heart goes out to the family's im so sorry for your loss.

Good point about seeing car stealing as acceptable behaviour. The occupants of the car were not the only guilty parties that night. The three boys involved had not been out on their own to the pictures and got a bus to Leesons Way at 11pm. They must have been out with others that night, where? But Leesons Way is a rather remote place to steal a car from, how did they get there? The car was missing for over an hour between the times it was stolen and the time of the collision about 1 mile away. Why was it stolen, where had it been? Had it been used to visit somewhere else? Where? A nightclub maybe. Or had it been used to take someone else home maybe being parked for a time while they called in? They were possibly not the only people that had travelled in that car that night and probably were not the only ones to know they had it and it was stolen. They are probably not the only guilty parties in this matter. Others were with them that night and knew what was going on. They are just as guilty as them!

carparkattendant,
im not being funny, but who do you think you are! You dont need to do a polices job for them asking all questions which 1. you wont get answers to and 2. its nothing to do with you, its happened now no one can change that, it dont matter how much questions you want to ask or what you think about poor behaviour, but no one deserves to die!! but their lifes have been shortened isnt that enough? what else do you want from these poor boys! use people make me feel sick, who needs people like use in this world, use heartless evil people, if these were to be one of ur sons use would be supporting them until ur blue in the face. but thats not the point, let them rest in peace!

I speak with the experience of losing a son on local roads though in different circumstances, the family of these boys will be in a terrible state and I do feel that no matter how strongly others feel about the circumstances now is not the time to express those views.

Well said !
And I am sorry for your loss too.

To lose a child, in whatever way, must be the worse thing in the world, something you never recover from.

Can all these nasty comments now stop, please remember alot of people are grieving

Ive got to agree with all the right minded people - these boys new what they were doing when they stole that car and that action led to their deaths and the injury to their pal and an innocent 61 year old man . Im fed up with all the petty car crime in the area and have been a victim of this on numerous occasions and each time loose out financially . It does not matter how you are insured it always costs the victim something . To say "a car can be replaced" shows the mentality of those concerned - It shouldnt have to be replaced because it shouldnt have been taken in the first place . Sorry but I have no sympathy , that could have been my dad in that other car .

It will take that 61 year old man years to recover, if he ever does. He will may lose his job and business if he has one, maybe never work again and get very little compensation, since the driver of the stolen vehicle were not insured. So he will be reliying on his own motor insurance and the crime victim compensation scheme. But it could have been worse, his car could have been carrying a family with children. But none of this has been acknowledged by any of the people who claim to know and be grieving over this incident. The innocent do not matter in thier eyes. There answer is only "well it is only a car", what does it matter!

I appreciate the support by their friends and this is good to see but things like this come with the territory when committing crime. They knew this and unfortunately paid the price.

You just proved to be a bit of scum yourself, Larry and Jay are dead you sad man, Yes they done wrong no-body has said they haven't but if you scroll up and bit you will see that they wasn't as bad as your small mind thinks they were, Jay stuck up for the people being bullied or are you having to much fun critiscing him for a mistake that he has made!
Everyone makes mistakes & everyone will continue to make mistakes, I bet you have made mistakes commenting like you are a sain with your cold heartless thoughts. You do not know what happpened, you do not know how it was caused the only thing you are reading is that the car was stolen, How do you no it was not caused by the old man?? How do you no there was not something wrong with either or the causes, This could all be an accident for all you know. What you be writting these comments if it was someone in your family who had done this? Didn't think so.

Rest In Peace Lads, Your loved by some many.

Ok, first of all I want to say that these lads although "far from innocent" didn't deserve this. However nor did the innocent 61 year old motorist who was hit.

Have a read of this;

http://www.london-se
1.co.uk/news/view/28
89

To all the people out there saying that they deserved it please do try and keep your feelings to yourself, it doesn't help anyone!

To all the friends of the deceased boys please do try and think how you can make something positive out of their deaths. Don't ever think that what they did was a mistake though. A mistake is a spelling mistake, or accidentally going down a wrong way street. Nicking someone elses car doesn't fit that category. Always think of the consequences of what you are doing. Consider the young boy Billy in the story above and imagine someone close to you hurt or killed by people in a stolen car.

Thanks for reading this...

I cannot believe that 'grown up' people - I take it you are max and carpark attendent?? Can make comments on people you have never meet. How on earth can one person possibly comment fairly on another person they have never meet - let alone judge them. This is no longer about the boys that unfortunatley did lose their lives but about the families they have left behind - these families do not need to read immature and unkind comments, when they are already going through hell. Any sane DECENT person can not comprehend why someone would make these hurtful, spiteful commments. NO it is not clever to steal other peoples propery as for the comments re covering cost this is the reasson we have insurance?!?!?! Yes I do hope the 61 year old gentleman makes a full and speedy recovery. I also hope that some people grow up and stop trying to hurt people that are already hurting more than you can comprehend. I also hope Max and Car Park attendent never have to go through what Jay and Larry's family are going through, even more that they never read spiteful comments about someone they have loved and lost.

My cousin is Larry Hall. My family dont want to be reading all of these sick comments. My other cousin has alredy suggested that you shouldn't leave things that are upsetting to both my family and jays. These boys wernt angels but neither am i or most of the people that have made comments but my aunt loved my cousin with every bone in her body and she really dosent need to be reading this.
Most of you people dont know Larry so to say he would run from a ACCIDENT is discusting. Thank you for all of Larry and Jays friends and people that care that 2 very young boys have tragically died these are the sort of messages that are comforting to all of my family.
Everybody else that wants to leave unwelcome messages, instead of writing on a website i can give you my contact details or we can meet up and we will see if you are as brave in person and if you will be willing to comment on things you have absolutly no idea about.

you don't know the boy's or the in and outs of there lives larry was a kind boy who would always help an old lady or anyone for that matter who was in trouble, he didn't have a nasty bone in his body.
what ever they have done or whatever larry's faults he DID NOT derserve to die his life was just beginning and he has left a broken mother and father behind not to mention his 2 sister's and nephew and nieces(who will never know there uncle larry).so to all those people who didn't have any thing respectfull to say i hope if you have children and they ever make a mistake that cost them there lives people won't be as cruel to you as you have been to 3 children.

All you go on about is the "stolen car" would there be all these small minded and heart less messages if they had owned the car, because im pretty sure you would be saying what a terrible accident, but just because the car was stolen it could not of been an accident! and as have said many times no-body knows how the crash happened do they, it could of been the old mans fault, it could of been a technical thougt with either one of the cards but just because it was stolen you straight away blame it on them. No1 has said they are right to have stolen that car, every knew it was wrong. But 2 families have lost one of the most precious things life gives to you, a child.

As another member of Larry's family, RIP darling xx, I am disgusted at the cruel comments.

How dare those who probably have no idea what WE are going through comment in such a nasty way.

Have some compassion for the friends and families of these boys. Yes they did a stupid thing, but what has happened has happened and now the family have to cope with the knowledge that they will never see their loved ones again.

Daisy should not be having to defend herself, she is mourning the loss of her cousin.

So the poor guy they smashed into and seriously injured and could have been dead was out earning an honest crust to support his family and probably grandchildren as a taxi driver, but these thoughtless idiots couldn't give a toss, he will not be earning an honest wage for ages, but you lot supporting these morons couldnt give a toss.

Yes I truely feel sorry for the man in hospital, and understand he was an innocent victim but would you all be saying this hurtful stuff about these 3 young boys if this pensioner was a known paedophile??? You would be praising these boys to the max.
Lal I love you and I hope your resting in piece.

I knew larry from school. Mike was right, those boys would have ran away from the scene if they could have. Larry didnt care about the people he hurt in his life. Jay seemed like a good kid. He didnt seem the type that would steal a car.

This must be an act of bad karma or retribution.

What are the chances of this? I knew Larry and I have seen Jay around I also know the driver of the other car very well. Larry was a lovely boy who was polite and helpful. The driver of the other car is also a lovely man. (I hope you get well soon.) My thoughts are with the parents of these boys. They did not deserve to die for making the decision to go joyriding!!!! When you are this age you think you are invincible so they had no thought of dying or getting injured. To Wayne 1995 the other driver is not some OLD GIT and 61 is not coffin dodger age. You should show some respect.
Rest in Peace boys.

Im shocked that 2 boys died, i was one of the people who pulled them from the car, i was talking to the boy jay while waiting for the ambulance so i really can't beleive he didnt make it.

I hope the man gets better soon,im pleased to hear he's pulling through .I cant imagine how everyone involved is feeling, just wish i could have done more x
Well done to you. I'm sure you did everything possible, and I'm sure it's reassuring for Jays family knowing that he had someone caring around him.
Personally, I didn't know these kids, but I know people who did.
Yes stealing a car is wrong, however, unforetunately they are no longer here to defend themselves.
It is obvious that the lads were well liked lads and will be sadly missed by their peers.
Remember these boys have left behind families who are grieving at this terrible time, and should be able to do so in peace.
Thoughts are with the two people still in hospital.
Lastly, to anyone who knew these boys - don't let their deaths be in vain...learn from it, dont follow in their footsteps and treasure your memories of them.

RIP

This is such a sad story for all involved, my kids know both parties that were injured. i feel so sad for the parents of those boys cos i cant imagine my life without my kids. some people have been very hard but the cab driver injured has suffered more than has been reported and anyone of your friends could have easily been a passenger in his cab that night. there are burnt out cars round this area almost every night. It makes me so angry to think that if the kids stealing these cars and risking theirs and EVERYONE elses lives were caught etching on a bus ther would be an army of police at the scene. there pics all over the papers cos its public property. Society has let all involved down- parents, authorities cos no one can be bothered anymore. I hope the third friend and the cabbie pull though and I live in hope that im not reading the same story next month xxxxx

Even the neice commented on her uncles kind heart, what a brave lady she is! and symphisised with the families of Jay and Larry, and wished Grant a speedy recovery... NOW maybe puss in boots and maxneverthemin and all the other negative readers will realise the heartache these families, and friends are going through. Thanks Karlene at 10.37pm comment, i do hope this would put the likes of the above better in the picture.. I do hope sincerely your uncle makes full and speedy recovery with no complications.... your words are reasurring to me and i hope to every reader on this site..including the parents of Jay and Larry and to my neighbour Grants parents...I am the parent of Alicia and i'm having to comfort a very distraut daughter... All of us parents whoever we are or what part we play are in our own grief in one way or another comforting our own kids.... I am keeping watch on this webiste and i hope and pray that there will be no more nastiness and bitterness... what do you really aim to achieve.... xx

After reading the furor or comments above I felt compelled to have my say on the matter. Regardless of the fact that I knew one of these boys, I am still able to take an unbiased stance on the matter. To all of the so-called 'concerned citizens'-that are leaving negative comments towards two deceased young boys and their friends you should feel nothing but shame. Not one of the comments states that what the boys did was the right thing to do, nor was it big or clever. However, have these young boys not paid the ultimate price for their lapse in judgement? They have paid their debt with their lives, which cannot be bought back. Although the gentlemen's car (although costs will be incurred) can be purchased again. For all of the people that value the price of a vehicle over the price of a life you perhaps need to see a doctor.

I am not trying to make snide remarks as it's not my style, I simply feel compelled to stand up for these two boys who are no longer able to do-so for themselves. It is quintessentially apparent that what these boys did on Saturday night was wrong, however it is not up to people such as yourselves to judge them publically when the majority of the people posting comments on here are in an immense state of grief, not to mention the families of these boys. Fair enough, you did not know these boys and cannot grasp how hurt we all are, but please, i beg of you to have the decency to keep these negative comments to yourselves so that you do not make the pain we are all experiencing any worse. The driver of the second car is even concerned about these boys, he is not being as materialistic as some of you and worrying about a REPLACEABLE car. So perhaps you should all take a note out of his book.

To the elderly gentleman in the other car and Grant I pray that you both recover as soon as possible.


My thoughts are with all concerned in this awful tragedy, particularly the parents and families of both Jay and Larry.

Although I did not know him, I hope that Larry rests in peace. And Jay... well what can I possibly say. You were one in a million, so many people thought so highly of you. You will definitely not be forgotten in a hurry. I hope you watch over your family from wherever you are as they need you at this awful time. Sleep well sweetheart, and make sure that famous grin of yours continues to be a permanent fixture on your face.

Charlotte ****.

I tried to read your post but had to stop as i felt nauseous, so what, you knew the boys, does that make your word gospel ? all i said was they not the 1st and they wont be the last. get over it.oh and before any of you numpties bang out the usual cliches/personal insults ...go for it...if it makes you feel better - it wont change anything tho.People still entitled to an opinion.

Past experience usually shows that the comments usually turn to personnel attacks causing additional upset.

To answer your questions about comments on this story. It is not really a matter of whether or not comments boards are necessary. The comments boards are a public forum where people are given the chance to have their say. They are an opportunity for readers to express their views and opinions about stories. And it is bound by site terms agreed by everyone who registers to take part in the discussion. I would be happy to continue this discussion on the News Shopper forum if you like.

I remember there being a similar story on here late last year, albeit without such tragic consequences. Two boys stole a motorcycle, had an accident and were fighting for their lives. At the time everyone was sayiong the same thing i.e., maybe people will learn from their mistakes (I don't accept that it can be classed as a mistake when it is clearly a criminal offence), but obviously people don't learn. Another recurring comment is "boys will be boys". Well I'm sorry but there is no need for boys to steal motorbikes or cars. They do it because they can and they think they can get away with it, and of course because it is fun and they don't have anything else to do. The family and friends of the deceased should maybe be thinking whether they could have done something that would have changed the behavior of these boys. Did you know what they were getting up to? Did you try and talk them out of it? These boys were young and therefore needed guidance. I do see this as a pointless waste of two young lives but we all have to learn that bad things happen, especially when people carry out criminal activities. If you know somebody else that is involved in this type of behaviour are you now going to try and talk them out of it? Probably not as they wouldn't listen anyway!

I would just like to point out to the heartless low life sewer dewllers visitng this site, that the parents of these boys could well be reading these comments and remarks. If you have nothing of any decency to say then just shut the hell up !
Yes they commited a crime, but you people are more criminal than them.
Ok so the car was stolen. that doesnt mean that they was to blame for the accident
was you there ? did you see it ? no ! then you have no right to stand in judgment on these young lads. yes what they done was wrong and they paid the ultimate price.
But at the end of the day you mindless ignorant pigs, it is just a car, a piece of metal with no life, no flesh and like you, no soul ! Just think how you would feel if it was one of your children eh !
But then the chances are your so bloody horrible and unlikeable that you are all billy no mates with not a single friend let alone girlfriend/wife and kids.
GET THIS IN YOUR THICK SKULLS ! THESE BOYS ARE DEAD ! PEOPLE ARE GRIEVEING ! SHOW SOME BLOODY RESPECT.
yes you have a right to your opinion, but any one with any degree of education would realise there is a time and a place, and this isnt it !
As a parent my heart goes out to the parents of the boys who have sadly lost their young lives in this incident, from the comments on here they was well liked young boys and will be greatly missed. To the driver of the other vehicle, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Most of you had never met these dead criminals and, luckily, most of you have not been victims of their behaviour.

Save your sympathy for the real victims in all of this; the 61-year old man the the owner of the stolen car.

When my daughter saw the picture of Jay she said "Thats the boy that helped me".
We live in Sidcup and when my daughter decided to venture out on her own for the first time she went to St Pauls Cray, it got dark and she got lost, Jay found her crying and asked if she was okay, she told him she was lost, he convinced her that it was okay to ring her mum and waited with her until i picked her up to make sure she was safe.
I would like to say that I am very grateful for what Jay did.
I didnt know him but will always remember him for the kindness he showed that day xxx

Jay and Larry did not deserve to die, they may not have been angels, and they made some really wrong decisions that night, but they have paid the ultimate price for their actions.

People should remember that these boys are now no longer with us,respect should be paid to them, even if you dont think highly of them or their behavior, if you dont have anything comforting for the families to read then you shouldnt comment at all.

You should all remember that these boys have families, they are someones son, and so many people are grieving for them, nobody should have to read the hurtful things that people are saying here.

I wish the old man a speady recovery, and my thoughts are with him and his family at this time.
Im sure that he would have compassion for these boys whose lives were taken from them so devestatingly.

Please remember that everyone makes bad decisions, nobody has the right to judge the boys especially when you dont know them, by all means have your opinions about their actions that night, but you cant make assumptions and accusations about the sort of people you think they are.

I wish Grant all the luck in the world for a recovery, we are all thinking of you at this tradgic time.

UNFORTUNATLEY! You was not the old man.

A family member of the Man commented to say how he is thinking of the boys and devastated that they have passed away. Now that is a decent, kind, caring human being.

So Scum go back to the gutter where you belong with you narrow small minded comments and let the families and friends grieve for their loss of very much loved and cherished boys.

Scumdertaker - I am unsure as to why you are intent on causing upset and arguing with people you dont even know.

It is clear that you did not know these boys, therefore your comments on them isnt exactly relevent. By all means, have opinions on the bad decisions that they made that night, but dont judge the boys, you dont know anything about them.

Members of their family should be able to read this and find comfort in the comments that their friends have made, they shouldnt have to face such hurtful comments by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Imagine it was your brother, or son or nephew, or cousin, or friend, show some respect.

These boys had a death sentence but some poeple are not happy with this. They still need to terriose the innocent families left behind. I wonder if the same do gooders who feel it thier place to comment on here write letters to parliment for a law change requesting death penanlties for all criminals or just teenagers - why not use your time constructively and write a letter about all the peodophiles walking the street!!!!!

First of all condolences to the parents /families of these young fools.
Also wishing a speedy recovery to the injured.

Every time the Shopper reports one of these sad stories we get so called 'friends' telling us all, 'they wuz good boys etc'. Yea yea, and if ya 'Aunty' had balls she'd be ya uncle. Some of you so called 'friends' need to look at your role in all this. How many other times had they done this, and don't tell me never.
Well there's plenty of room up the crematorium for car/bike thieves. Learn a lesson please.

I am disgusted by some of the comments on here. The 61year old so called "coffin dodger" is actually a driver from our local cab office. He has been providing a service to the local residents for many years now, and for Wayne 1995 from sidcup to say that it was probably his fault is disgraceful. These boys in this car were overtaking another vehicle on a bend, driving on the wrong side of the road,at 60mph, so it was infact NOT the 61 year olds fault. He was simply on his way to pick up a fare. He has many years of driving under his belt an is more than capable of driving in a safe manner. If you are not aware, ALL cab drivers have to undergo a medical examination once a year, and if he was incapable, he would not have his cabbing license. My thoughts are with Terry Dukes' family and his work colleagues from Jasons Cars. This man is a pillar of our community, and i wish him a very speedy recovery. As stated by others, yes it is a tragedy, but if you play with fire, you are bound to get burnt.

Well said, Puff Daddy and 25.

It sickens me that criminals are treated as martyrs. Always the little angels, never mind what they got up to before they die.

Let's hope all the silly girls and boys who think these dead idiots were whiter than white, go to Facebook and amuse themselves there.

Why do these people treat these stories like a condolence board? It is a news story that people have different opinions about, not a tribute site for the dead!

'they wouldn't have stolen the car if they knew if would have cost them their lives' - implies it's OK to steal a car as long as you are 'lucky' and don't kill yourself. sorry, but car theft is a crime that affects all sorts of people and so JUST DO NOT DO IT

There have been many comments for the loss of these boys, but very few for the innocent victim that was out that night trying to earn a living, pay the bills and support his family. Maybe a few of the friends and family of these boys should write a few messages to Terry Dukes' family wishing him a speedy recovery. Terry Dukes is a family man an his main concern was not for his vehicle but for those boys that put him in this position. This accident will haunt him for many years to come, having to witness the attempted resucitation of Jay Barry, and watching the horror replay in his mind every time he closes his eyes. I think many of you friends of Jay and Larry should think about things if it was their grand parent driving? Where were the police between the time of the car being repoted stolen at 11pm and the fatal accident at 12.15?? Maybe the non - existent local police officers should pull their finger out ofg their backsides!!!

There are other means and ways of stopping a vehicle other than being chased. They could radio ahead for another police car to throw out some stingers and deflate the tyres of this vehicle, and stop the accident before it had occurred. It would have saved alot of heartache for all families involved.

If they'd nicked your car, or critically injured your loved one you wouldn't be so sympathetic. I didn't say they deserved anything. Its all about risk and consequence. Someone driving their own car legally on the correct side of the road doesn't deserve to be injured, that I do know. As I said, all in the persuit of selfish pleasure. If they don't consider their own life, they certainly don't consider anyone else's. Hence my post.

At last a sensible comment from you!

But i think you will find that none of the friends will ever do anything so stupid, they have learnt a hard lesson.


All the frineds are shocked at what these boys did, it was not something they were known for.

People have said these boys were scum, thugs etc but the truth is they weren't, so not only has their death come as a shock but also the fact that they were in a stolen car.

of course people who didnt know the boys are going to judge, i would have done the same if i hadnt have known them.

honestly they were not the bad kids that people on here, WHO DID NOT KNOW THEM, are saying they were....but of course when you read something like this it is easy to jump to conclusions

One word for you jokers... DISCUSTED.

I cant believe how you can post such sick and shallow minded bull****. Comments coming from a few small minded and extremely petty little minds cannot produce a dent on what these two boys have done for themselves and others around them. This thread in itself shows the impact they have on everyone. They are 2 "kids" that made a mistake. I'm sure you and your loved ones know of a few mistakes you have made whilst being on this earth and i bet you have thought yourself glad to be alive at times. Well put the two together and you get how i lost one of the closest people in my life. I knew Larry from a young age and was like a brother. He did have a "Rogue" way about him as his Mum and Dad says but was loved by so so many people due to the effects he had on there lives. He was the first to offer a helping hand and the last to leave you. He was smart, whitty and very skilled, would work out an answer to everything no matter how hard it might be to find. The boy had everything ahead of him, polite, respectful and always trying to put a smile on your face. He was there to talk to whenever you needed him and would talk so much sense even at a young age. I don’t know jay but from when I met him the one time he too was polite and wanting to offer a helping hand. They were by no means scum or whatever you immoral jokes want to class them as. They made a simple mistake. They did not use there heads him Jay and Little Grant that night. They didnt think they could have been in such danger as no one thinks it will happen to you. But it did and so many lives have been affected. How you can post comments like pay for this guys car??? Or look on the bright side motor vehicle will go down again??? What cos 2 young lives have been lost? The guys car is replaceable as everyone says but not those two boys. I dare anyone of you little jokers to say that to people who have been affected by this loss. Hiding behind a forum I guarantee you feel big I dunno maybe it’s the only kick you get out of life by making people suffer. These kids definitely didn’t so who deserves to be in there situation I wonder! Take your nose out of you **** and open your eyes. There are families and friend grieving these boys and all you can do is say silly little comments like that. You didn’t know them so keep your mouth shut. If you want to open it and be disrespectful come and say it to one of our faces and see how far your opinion gets you! My heart goes out to the driver of the other vehicle also. He was unfortunate to have been involved and I hope he makes a fast recovery. The reason people don’t mention him is due to the fact they are mourning there loss’s…. paying there respect what gives you any right to try take that away??? Like I said im DISCUSTED by you shallow excuses for human beings. Wait till you lose someone special because you obviously haven’t…. think about it.

RIP LAL… I will never forget the times you were there and the things we did. You were truly a special boy.

RIP JAY… Never got to know you mate but as one of Larry’s good pals I wish you all the best.

Sleep Tite Boys!!!

P.S. On behalf of myself n all Larry and Jays family and friends I hope you live to regret making those comments.

Sticking to facts, they stole a car (so that is someone else facing having to pay for it to be replaced!), the car was stolen at 11pm the crash happened at 12.15 so they had been driving for over an hour.
They were driving at twice the speed limit, on the wrong side of the road.
How could it be the cab drivers fault? How could the police be to blame?
The blame for this tragedy is with them - if they had not stolen the car, if they had not driven at 60, if they had not driven on the wrong side of the road. If they had not done any of these the crash would not have happened - they would still be alive & there would not be others in hospital.

The boys stole a car, were reckless and died through their own actions.

Yes it's sad, but nobody forced them behind the wheel of that car, they had free choice and paid a very heavy price.

I am sorry for the families but one does have to question the kind of logic which implies these boys are blameless.

Still very sad, and I'm sure repeated on a daily basis around the country.

If this really was the first time they stole a car were they just lucky and found a car with keys in? If I was to try and steal a car I'm guessing that I would probably have to break in by maybe smashing a window or forcing the lock on the door. Once I was in the car I suppose I'd have to know how to "hot-wire" a car if I didn't have the keys. I wouldn't have the first clue how to start a car without keys. This would imply that the person who stole the car knew what he was doing, possibly because he'd done it before or possibly because he'd been with people who had done it before.
Teenagers who think it's clever to steal cars and go joy-riding will not learn from this because they think it will never happen to them.
It apparently is ok for these boys to have stolen this car because they have paid the ultimate price. Perhaps it would have been better for all involved if they hadn't been such reckless idiots in the first place. I know this may sound harsh to people who are grieving, but, like I said before will you be prepared to stop somebody else who chooses to behave this way. The answer is probably no because nobody wants to be seen as boring or "square". It's time kids started to realise that there are dangers and they need to be responsible for their own actions. Unfortunately most kids now have grown up thinking that they are invincible and they can do absolutely anything that they want with no regard for others safety or feelings.

I really don't think I have said anything wrong. Just pointing out a few inconsitencies.
As a legal car driver I have every right to be disturbed by the fact that every time I go out on the roads my life could possibly be put in danger by illegal joy-riders. It's bad enough having to deal with legal idiot drivers without having the addition of illegal ones.

I have no idea what this childish rant means. Just beacause someone does, it does not make them automatically a wonderful person, and all past wrong-doings are now ignored.

What if the boys survived?, what if the other gentleman had died? They would be facing a manslaughter charge, yeah, nice lads.

All of us are part of society, if some choose to break the law and cause their own death by behaving in a reckless manner then how is pointing that out 'disrespectful'.

Cars are WEAPONS which maim and kill, the sooner people realise they are responsible for their own actions then the sooner we can all live in safer and more compassionate society.

Those boys showed no respect or compassion for any other road user or pedestrian, yes it's sad they died but IT WAS THEIR CHOICE TO DRIVE THE CAR.

You know there is one inevitable in this life.....You will die one day!

This tosh is spouted as fact is it? 99.9 % of areas have no youth facilities. Well, I never went to a youth club and I was never involved in criminal activity, nor were my friends. I'm not that old either before you accuse me of being 'out of touch with the youth of today'

And besides, whatever happened to knowing right from wrong? The majority of young people are not out up to no good, you my young friend only see the world from one perspective, and being narrow-minded really limits your imagination.

There will always be an element of society that doesn't feel the need to conform...unfortunat
ely this element is increasing.

yes i know that not ALL areas are like this. maybe i should have been more clearer. what i meant is that MOST areas in major cities do have youth problems and maybe this is because they have nowhere to go, there are no programmes to help find kids stuff to do. these days, teenagers are far different from what they were like a decade ago (but not that different). there is more violence and temptation on the streets because they don't have nowhere to go. i mean i know people who have been just sitting around the park with their mates and have been doing nothing wrong at all and get told to move on, and to find something to do, some of them do criminal activities, unfortunately. i'm not using their boredom as an excuse by the way but the fact is that they don't have nothing to do and as a teenager i have seen this with my own two eyes. and i, myself would never go down the paths some teenagers have because i have seen myself what can happen and i've promised myself that would never let that happen to me. and yes they should know right from wrong, and alot of them do know that. but when kids get told not to do something and it's wrong, they obviously go ahead and do it don't they?

also, i wasn't going to even mention if you were old or in touch with "youth". i'm not like that and obviously you are, by belittling me because i still have many things to learn in my years to come. so do many other people, and unfortunately in some cases, alot of younger people don't get to learn from a stupid decision that they should have never ever made and they lose their lives because of it.

Fran you sound like a lovely person. Maybe you should grow up and possibly get yourself off to school as your post is barely legible.
This is a news site where people have the right to voice their opinion about any story that they are interested in. Most decent law abiding adults (especially car owners) will have an interest in this story because it is them that have most to lose when young criminals choose to steal their cars and drive recklessly on the roads that they pay for. We probably can't change what is happening in our society but generally we like to have a discussion about what is wrong. We are allowed to do that as long as we are not abusive or threatening. Some of the posts by the friends of the dead boys have been both abusive and threatening and I have asked for them to be removed and you can do the same if you believe a comment should not have been posted.
I believe there is a Facebook page for posting condolences and paying respect to your friends.

Condolences to the boys' families and friends. A very sad tragedy. Am happy to read that the cabbie is doing ok. There's a lot of anger and inapporpriate comments here. It's a shame the boys lost their lives. I'm confident that given time to reflect they would have rethought their actions. That said, they did commit a crime. What a hard way to learn a lesson. Let's hope others do learn from their mistake so the boys haven't died in vain.

Thank-you Fran, that last comment saying that 'its a shame they didnt hit you sad people' kinda suggests you advocate murder as revenge for not following your opinion...nice.

j1992 - I was simply suggesting that it's easy to blame others for our own lack of morality. There are plently of youth projects, voluntary groups, scouts, Princes Trust, out-reach youth workers, youth clubs. These are available in all areas and particularly more deprived areas as these tend to get better funding.

What about voluntary work? Get involved with your local community instead of expecting the community to tell you not to do something which you already know to be wrong and anti-social.

And yes, you come across as an articualte young person, maybe you should get involved in youth work yourself? Be a positive role model to others?

i posted a comment on here last night but it seems to have disappeared hmm strange, and where did the picture of larry go?

i know what all you lot are saying is right that they should not of stolen a car, but the thing is can you ever say you have never done anything bad in your life?

if your family was going through this im sure you would stick up for them, you have no idea how much your comments are upsetting me and my family members, we know they did wrong you dont need to keep going on about it.

i didn't know jay and i dont know grant, but from what i hear they are very lovely boys and they are someones child. Larry is my cousin and im going to miss him.

we have as much right as anyone else to comment on this as anyone else, just because there is a facebook group to remember them by dont mean we wont comment on here.

you didnt know the boys so you cant judge what they were like, so please stop with the abuse and insults its upsettin the family members

thank you

i hope the old man and grant recover well.

RIP larry and jay

we all love you and will miss you dearly

ellemay, if you don't want to see the comments don't look. This is a news site. People will put on comments that not everybody will approve of. It happens on other stories and of course it is happening here. If you are likely to be offended maybe you should be restricting yourself to the Facebook page where hopefully you will only see comments posted by people who knew and loved these boys.

I agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion but surely you understand that the family, MY FAMILY, are going to be upset at the comments about Larry and his friends being scum. That is truely uncalled for.

It is natural for the family to read the comments, the accident came as a total shock to all of us.

Again I see my cousins having to defend themselves and it really isn't on.

If you all feel so strongly about the incident, maybe the s**t stirrers should put their anger to good use and talk to youth groups about it, not upset the family and friends who have actually been affected by this event and are trying to make some sense of their loss.

I was one of the people who stopped and helped the injured on the night of the accident. I have never seen such a horrific and devestating site in all my life. I stayed with both grant and Terry until the ambulance arrived. My Fiance and his mother helped move the injured when we believed the second car was going to explode. At the time I never knew that the car was stolen and grant Kept saying that no one else was in the car and that he was driving, we now know different!! I can understand peoples frustration and anger towards the boys and after knowing what I now know and seeing the pain that Terry was in I can sympathise, however,
it has happened and these boys are not coming back, and we need to hope that others will learn by this mistake. I am interested to know how terry is doing, we spent a lot of time with him and my fiance was helping keep his leg elevated as he was in so much pain. The police moved us along as the ambulance came and we have no idea how his progress is. I do wish grant a speedy recovery, does anyone know his injuries? From what I saw his leg was broken and his face showed a lot of pain. I would be gratful of any news as this night will never leave my thoughts it has made me very sad for all concerned and I just hope I never see anything like this again. It is a terrible shame and an unecessary loss.

I HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF JOYRIDERS.
I have had my car stolen & been hit by a stolen car so.......
To the people that keep saying it was an accident......
How was it an accident ?????
So what you are saying is they didn't mean to fall into the car & hot wired it ( Which takes some knowledge ) Drive at 60mph on the wrong side of the road and plough into a man working to look after his family, & at 61 with a broken hip is going to have to have future operation and wait at least 7 years for any compensation,
Only these OXYGEN THIEVES didn't have any insurance to drive a car that didn't belong to them.
So how is their victim going to pay his bills when he gets out of hospital and recovers before returning to work. Thats if he can face getting behind the wheel again. Yeah some accident isn't it !

So they didn't intend to hurt anyone .....That's ok then is it. It's this sort of soft approach that is breaking this country down. We need to get tough on the basics. When their mate gets his first car see how he feels when someone nicks it and smashes it up.
More of this and the gene pool will just get stronger - It's just a shame good people get caught up in it

The public will have their say and they have a right to say it – the public at large are FED UP.

A distinct class cause this sort of heartbreak, there is even a well known name for them these days. The class are incredibly distinct on message boards such as these as they have poor communication skills.

They are breeding faster than the more discerning among us.

They produce offspring in the hope of filling gaps in their lives created by their own apathetic parents and when that doesn't work –

they become apathetic themselves.

And so, the cycle repeats itself, growing hugely; faster than as I say, the more discerning among us who were truly nurtured and not birthed as a commodity.

What ever became of giving your children goals to strive for and spending time with them purely because their happiness is your happiness.

Fran, if your comments made any sense I might take offence but seeing as you appear to be illiterate I shall ignore anything you say. If you want to join in a grown up debate I suggest you learn how to write (or right).
I chose to have certain posts removed as they could be deemed offensive and when you sign up to enter posts on this site you agree not to post items that are offensive.
I'm certainly not offended by anything you or your mates decide to post. Believe me I've seen and heard far worse. I will however report any post that contains even implied swearing as there may be elderly people who visit this site who do not need to see the profanity used by some of the clever little boys who are supposed to be grieving.
Do you know what? If I was grieving the last thing I would do is turn on my PC.

There are lots of young men who go around looking to steal cars. Sadly this time the car is a right off. The life of a boy who must have been ssocially retarded has been lost.
That is a shame.RIP
If you have a nice car and you work hard to keep a good standard of living beware there are people who have no morals or parents who care who will try to steal from you.

7:30pm Wed 28 Jan 09

to be honest, i think everyone is being as bad as eachother. insulting eachother is disgusting. stop with the petty childish arguing and agree to disagree, please? i'm just sick of reading all these comments going around in circles and people resorting to little insults and digs at eachother when they don't even know the other person. can we just show some respect to everyone including the deceased and stop with the name calling? i'm not having a go at anyone in particular but the name calling is getting everyone down. not only is it getting out of control, it's childish and disrespectful. let's all grow up and respect eachother's opinions whatever they may be.

and i think alot of people who have logged onto their PCs are actually trying to contact their friends/family members who knew the boys to pay their respects and share happy memories they had of them. sometimes it is quite difficult to reach people by phone or to talk to them if you either don't have their phone number, or live too far away to pay your respects.


cpfcboy says...
7:34pm Wed 28 Jan 09

Fran I'm another person who totally disagrees with you.

It's not until people start acknowledging this awful incident was the result of crime that we'll actually make any progress. Unfortunately the whole area is rife with this kind of anti-social and criminal behaviour and I think people on here have a right to point out that this was not just a car crime - it involved an innocent victim as well who could have easily been killed. The we'd be talking about manslaughter.

Nothing can take away the grief people suffer in situations like this but we must also address the reasons.

cpfcboy says...
7:55pm Wed 28 Jan 09

J 1992, I agree with your sentiments. However, I think as long as people are respectful for those who may visit the site and may be grieving - it's ok to discuss the wider issues. This is after all a discussion on a news storey - it's not a condolence forum.

As I say, sensitivity in what we say is important, bearing in family may be reading. However, many people coming on to post messages of condolence aren't even acknowledging a serious crime took place and an innocent man was severely injured.

Personally, I think close friends and family would do well for future generations of children if they were to acknowledge publicly that this happened because of crime. All too often nowadays we coo and swoon over criminals and slackers - and if we didn't these kind of things wouldn't happen. We can all do our part to stop our children suffering the same horrific death by just being proactive in arguing against crime rather than grandstanding those who carry it out. As an example the amount of young teenage girls who go out with boys because they are 'hard' is staggering. I heard a lad shouting really awful racist abuse in Cotmandene a few days ago at an Indian guy. After the event his girlfriend went over and cuddled him and said well done babe. I mean the guy was bad, but the girl! Gah - what is the world coming to. Her encouragement just breeds guys like that.

I know this has nothing to do with the guys in question but it's an example of what we need to do to put things right and minimise the risk of it happening to our kids. In that situation in Cotmandede clearly the girl needed to not respond favourably to the racist attack. In this situation we all need to acknowledge that this was a result of crime.

You can all sit on here and " voice your oppions all you want, but do you really think its going to make a difference and stop people from doing crimes?
I hacent come on here for a debate either and neither has anyone that new jay and larry, Just to pay respect!

I did not know either of these boys, but I no alot of people who did. People such as THE SCUMDERTAKER, MAX NEVER THE MIN and CARPARKATTENDENT ect, if someone in your family did what these young boys did, would u refuse to grieve??? NOOO!! You would put the fact that what they did was wrong to the back of your mind, 2 sets of parents have lost a child and no matter what they did wrong, you can't take away from them the fact they they want to mourne for their children. The last thing the boys families need is to read your opinion, which I'm not saying your not entitled to one, however there is a time and a place to express it, and it is not on here! Think how you'd feel if you had not long lost a child and all you people can do is slate them... I know how I would feel!
My thoughts go out to everyone who knew them, including the boy still in hospital and the gentleman in the other car. I hope they recover soon.
I have just lost 2 people dear to me, my Father-in-law and my grandad, one in Oct and one a few weeks ago, no one is perfect and everyone has made mistakes in there lives, but if I heard ANYONE bad mouthing them about mistakes they had made I would be furious! I'm sure if the lads new it would result in this they would never had got in that car, but u can't change the past, what is done is done, and unfortunately, they will never have the chance to learn from their mistakes like the rest of us will, but hopefully we will all learn by their mistakes.

To both Jay and Larry's family, keep ur head up, let the nasty comments fly over your heads, they are a measeley minority compared to the clear number of people that love and will miss these two boys dearly.... My thoughts are with you all.... RIP x x x

I bet you would't be writting such nasty things if this was your child (that is if you have got any) different side to the story then ain't it. If you ain't got nothing better to do than sit and BULLY people than that just proves that you are no better than the 'scum' that annoys you so much.
wake up this is the 21st century car crashes happen every day dosen't meen that the person intended to hurt any one.
Once again r.i.p larry & Jay - YOU WAS SPECIAL . NO MATTER WHAT ANY OTHER POSH 'SCUMMY' PEOPLE say. There time will come don't worry about that. Hope that the cab driver makes a full recovery and once again CONGRATULATIONS grant i'm so pleased you are going to be okay!

Whilst I hate to see genuinely grieving people upset by flippant comments - there are also lots of people on this thread who don't have any affiliation with the guys and who just want to comment on news story itself and it's quite reasonable to expect that some commenter's are sick to the back teeth with crime in their neighbourhood and this news report was about a serious crime with an innocent victim.

But regardless of if we're here to leave messages of condolence or here to talk about the wider issues we all need to keep our comments at a decent level don't you think.

Grant also had a broken neck and a broken back. They thought that he would be paralysed but thankfully they done some operations on him and he will be fine. Thank-you for helping them i know whatever happens grant will never forget the kindness you and your family showed to him. And terry too.

We can't gloss over the fact that a serious crime was committed and an innocent person was injured.

I had a poor upbringing on an estate in south London. But I left school at 16 and worked ever since. I've never hit anyone, never been racist, homophobic, never stolen anything or broken into anywhere. People who do these things do them as a lifestyle choice. We all start from the same place in life and we can all determine what future we have.

I agree with you - I'm fed up with these louts and their layabout parents saying "oh theres nothing for the kids, its the schools bla bla". It's a way of passing the buck so they don't have to do anything to improve their own situation.

I do feel sorry that some people have lost loved ones, but I'm also getting quite frustrated at the amount of people leaving their condolences who can't seem to understand that other people who weren't close to the lads will want to comment about the wider issues, and many of them will be sick and tired of anti-social, lawless behaviour which was the very nub of this news article.

It has been so sad to read some of the comments on this blog. jerseyMaypole, petebeat, fran wade, ifoughtthelaw and fredbassit - whilst you sit congratulating yourself on your superior intellect and sense of social responsibility, condemning those you don't know and have no interest in, ask yourself this: Where is your humanity? What has happened to you that you can dismiss the loss of young lives so flippantly? This blog IS a place to express your views, but you ticked that you read the terms and conditions of the website so you should know that it is not to be used to express anything defamatory or offensive or anything liable to 'cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety'. Are you so lofty that these rules do not apply to you? The inquest will be the place for blame to be judged - by people who know the facts, not those who take their prejudices and use them to construct a narrative which satisfies their sense of entitlement and superiority to others. Surely your mother taught you there is a time and a place!

I am so sad that two young boys (not men yet) will never have the chance to learn from their mistake, as so many others have; I am so sad, as a mother who has lost a child, that two families will be living in the pit of grief which follows a child's death. It isn't necessary for spiteful people to spell out the wrong of what those boys did - the young people have acknowledged this and it is obvious enough. Their crime will not be the total measure of their lives, however, as the 'tasteless and tacky' (your words, not mine) roadside memorial shows; these boys were known and loved and I found the candles and children there each night very moving. I hope that will be a comfort to their parents, families and friends. Those who have sat in judgement on this blog do not know them and will not be the reflection of their worth.

I hope that the taxi-driver - a victim who has shown much more love and humanity than the moralising, spiteful finger-waggers on this site - makes a speedy recovery. I hope that the other passenger Grant makes a full recovery, appreciates his second chance and lives his life well and to the full, in his friends' memory. I also sincerely hope that a tiny bit of understanding can creep into the closed minds of those who have sat as judge and jury so harshly on a 16 and 18 yr old and their families.

I am Kate Martin, a mother of 4 from St. Paul's Cray, which in some people's eyes makes me a chav breeding, apathetic rabbit, sponging off the state; how unimaginative some people can be!

9:07pm Thu 29 Jan 09

Hi Kate, firstly (and I hope this doesn't sound patronising), but what a refreshingly articulate comment amongst a sea of text speak and insults (from both sides).

Thank you.

I'm in the awkward position (and I don't normally sit on the fence) of agreeing that, whilst everyone is entitled to an opinion and this IS a forum for everyone - not just a book of condolence; freedom of speech has to be accompanied by a personal responsibility not be be purposely hurtful of inflaming. This can prove difficult because no matter how hard we try not to offend - 'being offended' is so easy to trigger nowadays. That said, lots of the comments (not mine) on here today are clearly and purposely offensive and ill-thought-out under the circumstances, I agree.

On the other hand, someone from the Newshopper has already clarified that whilst they will delete comments which breech fundamental rules - this isn't a forum specifically for those who have lost loved ones. therefore, if they are likely to be upset by comments generated by this story on the wider issues then they shouldn't read. As I say, that was a member of the paper's team who said that following complaints about the direction this thread was heading.

As I say, I do agree with most of what you've said. However, I don't think it's in our children's best interests to ignore the fact that this tragedy was the result of crime and people shouldn't feel afraid to mention that.

cpfcboy says...
9:12pm Thu 29 Jan 09

Kate, I forgot to say, there is one thing I disagree on. I don't think it's necessarily constructive to keep calling them kids or children. It kind of puts across a subtle extra message that tries to minimise the severity of what they did. The fact remains they were adults - certainly an 18 year is and even at 17 he could have been a a father himself.

I agree - calling them 'kids' takes away the degree of responsibility they had over their actions. It was their choice to take that car, it was their choice to drive it irresponsibly. Of course no one deserves to die for this, most definately not. However, I think the anger many people feel is that the articles in the local papers (The Bromley Times being the main culprit) have focused primarily on the fact these 'boys' lost their lives. There is no reference to their actions or the innocent people involved.

9:33pm Thu 29 Jan 09

No-one was ignoring the fact that this tragedy - and tragedy it was - was a result of crime. So many of the young people expressing their views acknowledged the crime - whether in language that older people approved of or not. I have seen those boys grow up as they walk past my window each day. They were human beings, not just a social topic. I think that the bitter and draconian condemnation expressed on this blog is as much a symptom of society's ills today, as 'teenage crime' which people who have forgotten what it's like to be a teenager seem to be obsessed with. This is not the time for that debate and I am positive that those I have objected to on this blog are not afraid to mention their (nano-second) thoughts! To keep villifying whole groups of people because a crime was committed isn't helpful - it alienates and widens the gap, so nothing will be learned, so why not keep those thoughts to yourself, unless you are so full of yourself that you feel EVERYONE must know every thought you have. As I say, a time and a place AND THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR THE PLACE.

cpfcboy says...
9:49pm Thu 29 Jan 09

Kate, I don't want to be argumentative with you but very often - taking a more compassionate stance may not necessarily be in everyones best interests - especially not our children's.

You say things like "whether in language that older people approved of or not" which clearly sends a very dangerous message that it's Ok to text speak your way through life and anyone who disagrees is simply old and fuddy duddy.

What would serve young people far better would be if you were to denounce people who can't even be bothered to construct proper sentences in proper English. That would be in their best interest.

Of course nobody expects perfect grammatical masterpieces on an internet forum, but even though it'll make you the coolest older person on the board - it doesn't really help to vilify those who are critical of text talk in forums like these.

As far as calling them 'boys' is concerned (I didn't call them kids), young men's brains do not fully develop a sense of conscience and social responsibility until they reach the age of 25. That does not detract from the fact that these BOYS will have been taught right from wrong by their parents, families and teachers and would have known that what they were doing was illegal. They have been painted as evil, however, and I think if many people were honest, and didn't rewrite their own history, they might admit that they did things which overstepped the limits, things they are not proud of at that age; they were lucky enough to survive and learn, however. Anyone who knows teenagers, knows that many of the selfish things they do are not done with malice, and they have little conception or thought of the possible consequences. 18 yrs old makes you LEGALLY an adult, but anyone who nurtures their youngster through these years, knows they are a long way from being mature adults. When you teach a child to walk, talk or anything else, you don't condemn them to hell when they do something wrong. Centuries of severe sentences have not wiped out crime, so something different needs to be tried.

No Kay this is the very time for this 'debate'. If I had my way some of the youngsters posting on here would have to go down the morgue and see both these idiots. I'm sure the parents had the harrowing task of doing just that. I feel for them in all this, as a parent myself who can even comprehend what thay must be going through, knowing as they must it was self inflicted. Someone posted that they thought both cars should be displayed around local schools. Great idea, as this will soon be just a distant memory to the local chavs.

(Sorry Cat you're stepping into a field I have done most of my Masters research on now!) The notion of male and female brains developing at different rates has never been conclusively proved and is more a result of social-construction. A way of explaining away some of the negative aspects of male behaviour, it is not an adequate explanation for this behaviour. No one has called these boys 'evil' either as that is not the case, they did not set out to kill or harm anyone - they were just socially very irresponsible. I also do not agree with your 'we've all done things' argument because its assuming that all youngsters are not socially responsible and are selfish. This is wrong. The majority of young people are aware of their political, envrionmental and social impact on their community. I think this whole sorry affair highlights how the driving age needs to be raised to 21 and how social responsibility needs to be highlighted more by parents and schools.

Kate, there is a school of thought that societies ills are because we no longer deal with things severely enough, and people who always find excuses for anti-social and criminal behaviour aren't helping our growing generations at all.

Furthermore, whilst your point about young people not fully developing a sense of conscience and social responsibility until they reach the age of 25 is interesting - I'm not sure it's entirely correct.

Long before I was born, guys left school at 14 with a complete education and often went on to work until they retired. What changed between now and then that all of a sudden, according to you, young people aren't even capable of being socially responsible until they are half way through their 20s - other than the the fact that we live in more liberal times which clearly hasn't helped anyone.

You are mistaken that I argued 'we've all done things' at all, but I know many very successful, happy and responsible people who sailed close to the wind when they were teenagers. I think very highly of our teenagers - almost all I know are lovely, inspiring, exciting and charming people - not always completely considerate or appreciative of the outcome of their behaviour. You, however, have described them as stupid little idiots and louts, they children of layabout parents. You don't know these boys/men whatever it pleases you to call them, and you don't know their families. Shame on you with an MA!

Shame on me! I've worked bloody hard to get to where I am, so excuse me if I don't have sympathy for kid's that have all these wonderful opportunities available to them and refuse to take them. I work with students who have come from all over the world, war torn countries, orphans, who have a tenuous grasp of the English Language and no qualifications. And most of them are now at university. Many of them cannot believe the opportunities we have here which makes it more abhorrent to me that so many young people who get labelled "hoodies" or "yobs" do NOTHING to escape that self-fulfilling prophecy.

Kate, the more I think about it, your suggestion that young people don't develop a sense of social responsibility until they reach the age of 25 is really doing a disservice to many young people who are grown up and responsible even at 15.

You surprise me because you come across as intelligent but you seem to want to grandstand underachievers and slackers and don''t want to praise those hard working swots who overcome adversity to achieve in life and and act responsibly at a young age.

I know plenty of young people who'd be horrified that you lump them all in the same bracket of being so irresponsible and lacking a sense of conscience.

Great point! Maybe we should bring back hanging and build more prisons because that's working isn't it? I've never been able to resist arguing with narrow mindedness. Yeah life IS hard, so it wouldn't do anyone any harm to try thinking laterally in order to make it a little less hard for people grieving for their lost son, which really is the most relevant point. Your facile comments, harking back to the 'good old days' when boys left school at 14 and worked in jobs they hated for 60 yrs if they were lucky and there was no crime (yeah, right) are helping noone either. And I'd rather live in this world than that one. I tried to stand up to the the patronising 'know-betters', but I know life is short and I'm off to live it and bring up my children well, even though we live in St Paul's Cray.

I didn't realise people were so bitter and I feel sorry for them that something has happended to them to make them think it is OK to abuse people they do not know behind the disguise of 'having an opinion'.

Melgirl, I certainly agree that everyone - whether they are here to leave messages of condolence or talk about the wider issues - should be considerate when leaving messages and never be abusive. That's a fundamental rule of joining forums like this and I don't think anyone can complain if they are offensive and their messages are subsequently deleted or their accounts barred.

But to try and answer why people are so 'bitter' as you put it: maybe it's the fact that many of us live in areas where persistent crime spoils our lives on a daily basis, and it's creating a society we feel ashamed to hand over to our children and future generations.

Of course crime and anti-social behaviour aren't new things, however - what has changed nowadays is that yobbism, street gangs, drunkenness, casual violence, theft and car crime are so often perceived as no big deal and part of growing up. I think that's the frustrating thing and probably explains why people do get worked up on forums like this. Of course that doesn't excuse deliberate offensiveness and the News Shopper does delete messages it feels are in breech of the rules.

It's absolutely harrowing when young people die in these tragic circumstances and my heart goes out to those in mourning - left behind to pick up the pieces. Whilst mulling over the happy memories of these young men, they may also consider the fact that their sad deaths were as a result of the kind of anti-social, criminal behaviour many of us do our best to fight. The very best we can all do now - for the sake of all our children and up and coming generations - is to continue to fight it and condemn it at every opportunity. That's all most people are doing on here - sometimes using language that isn't really appropriate, I agree; but the bottom line is they are saying it to be kind, not cruel.

you people need to get a life and stop judging other when you dont even know them. they did a bad thing they were young if they were still alive they would of learned by there mistakes.

In most cases like this, there would normally have been a clear prior indication of anti-social behaviour.

I mean people just don't uncharacteristically go out and steal cars.

Of course being killed is a really high price to pay and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But at the very least - things like this should get us all to examine our parenting skills.

ellemay says...

yeah but people can be the perfect parents and still not know what there kids are up to

Marty1979 says...

I saw a comment elsewhere that perhaps it will stop their friends from stealing cars - I doubt it. Wait a few weeks (or perhaps not that long) & see if the car crime has gone down

11:37am Fri 30 Jan 09

Ellie may, of course we don't know how they were raised, but this incident has given us all a very strong idea how they WEREN'T raised: i.e not properly, based on the fact that they seemingly had no respect for other peoples property or indeed, the law.

ellemay says...
11:43am Fri 30 Jan 09

are you perfect tho have you ever done anything bad in your life, i can say i have i have learnt my lesson from the things ive done wrong, and i was brought up around my cousin you can just say they have no respect because of the way they were brought up compared to the way you was, because you can be b rought up right and make one mistake and that one mistake will make people think you dont have respect.

i mean this is just going round and around, go out and do something about whats happened instead of going on about the wrong they have done

It is sad when anyone dies so young, but had they been honest and law abiding then this would never have occurred.
To say "they were young" is not an excuse, the driver was 18, therefore he was an adult. Age is not an excuse.

Any real sympathy should go to the innocent driver of the other car.

I have no doubt we shall now have weeks of disruption as 'mourners' and ghouls stop to visit the impromptu shrine to crime and stupidty grows in the woods.

ellemay says...
11:53am Fri 30 Jan 09

i do feel for the mn that was hurt i really do, some people i have spoke to says he doesn't hate them and he is quite upset they have died.

but people are going to far they have now joined the facebook groups made for larry and jay and put pictures up of two people who have been blown up, i mean some people are going to far.

i know the driver was only 18 but none of us yet know the full story of who stole the car and which of them new it was stolen, my family are still trying to find anwsers.

so what if people want to g to the site where they have died, every1 deserves to be loved and mourned for dont you think?

To be honest I don't think these kind of sick jokes are deep down intentionally dissing your freinds as individuals. I think many people would do things like that whoever was involved. I think it's more just an outlet to let of steam about crime in general - and it's often horrific after-effects on all of us. I know it's hard, but try not to take it to heart. You can see that people really are fed up with living with crime and anti-social behaviour and any chance they get - they will denounce it.

I respect what you have to say and you've put the case across very well.

ellemay says...
12:33pm Fri 30 Jan 09

thanks i feel for all you people who want to put a stop to crime, i use to live in south east london i saw some horrible things happen to people and the school i went to was full of trouble makers too.

my parents were fed up with living in fear that something would happen to there kids or them selfs that they had to move away. i know alot of people dont want to do that, someone should tackle the problem that has been around along time.

i know i shouldent take it to heart but its hard he was little cousin and he has been in alot of peoples lifes for a long time. i just feel people should not go so far as to do that.

My thoughts go out to the innocent driver caught up in this incident. I hope he recovers quickly and his livelihood and family are not too badly effected by this crash. Perhaps someone involved should ensure an amount from the collections going on is given to him to aid his recovery. It shouldn't be forgotten that he was likely driving along oblivious to the chaos his life was about to descend into. There does seem to be a lack of consideration for this man especially with the way the article is written in the local Bromley press.

Elle I do feel young people have to take some personal responsibility. I mean these guys were 17/18 - hardly kids. The vast majority of 16-17-18 year olds don't do these kind of things so we shouldn't think it's a norm. But for a minority of young people, being anti-social is a lifestyle choice.

There is so much for young people to do and if they choose crime it's no one else's fault.

Many young people take advantage of free travel and go to London for example: all across our city there are free or very cheap events for young people all the time in music and arts and entertainment.

On the other hand some young people choose a more degenerate lifestyle. They don't get on a bus to go to the station to visit our capital city: they get on a bus as their nights entertainment and in the process just annoy all the other passengers. Alternatively they'll pop to Carlton Parade and stand outside Morelyes all night. These are lifestyle choices - not things they are forced to do. And,as I say, the majority of people find it pretty degenerate.

I don't think the world is necessarily full of hate, but lots of individuals are.

I was dragged up in a grotty and really hard part of south London but I'm not a criminal, I'm not racist, I'm not homophobic, I don't hit people, I don't steal things, I'm not anti-social, I have a job, I go on holidays and see the world and different cultures etc. If I can do it - everyone can, because at the end of the day we all started out the same and we make of our lives what we want to make out of them - and for some they choose crime.

I agree no need for sicko's on face book.

The problem is that everyone wants to blame someone else nowadays, school, environment, council. When we are all our own masters and are responsible for our own lives or death.

To class this as an 'accident' is also incorrect. An accident cannot be prevented, such as a plate falling off a wall. Stealing cars and joy riding can be prevented therefore this is not an accident, the crash was caused by driver error/
Why I would not like to say, speeding, inattention, alcohol, ice on the road etc. But ultimately driver error.

The waste of young lives is never right. Like a lot of teens they thought they would live forever. I'd be willing to bet that they were speeding and not wearing seat belts.

They had a choice about what they did. The innocent victims of this incident were given no such choice by them. I have some sympathy for their families but none at all for them.

The best that can come out of it is that others learn from their stupidity and selfishness.

bald_old_git says...

The best tribute would be, as mentioned earlier, if their friends were to promise they would never steal a car or driver dangerously. They have all seen the consequences of such a "mistake", do what they are all claiming that Jay and Larry could not do and LEARN from the mistake

Gooner1976 says...

Had the 2 lads been innocently driving in there own car and a joyrider came speeding down the wrong side of the road and crashed into them, how many of you would be writing messages saying how the joyriders were such great people? How many would be saying everyone makes mistakes? It goes to show how naive and ignorant people are when they make it sound like what they did wasn't that bad and everyone makes mistakes. They made a very very big mistake which put other peoples lives at risk, nearly killed an innocent man and ruined there own families lives. It's damned insensitive to anyone who may have lost a relative to road crime to post comments of defence of justification and ultimately thats exactley what most people posting comments have done(however they dress the words up not to sound like they are). The boys didn't deserve to pay with there lives but then neither do the hundreds of innocent people killed every year by road crime.Whilst people keep making ridiculous statements like they "they didn't go out with the intention of hurting anyone" these things will keep on happening! There is nothing wrong at all for grieving for the lads but while people keep making excuses nothing will have been learnt! A tragic waste of young life not a tragic accident!

The public at large are FED UP.
A distinct class cause this sort of heartbreak, there is even a well known name for them these days. The class are incredibly distinct on message boards such as these as they have poor communication skills.
They are breeding faster than the more discerning among us.
They produce offspring in the hope of filling gaps in their lives created by their own apathetic parents and when that doesn't work –
they become apathetic themselves.
And so, the cycle repeats itself, growing hugely; faster than as I say, the more discerning among us who were truly nurtured and not birthed as a commodity.
What ever became of giving your children goals to strive for and spending time with them purely because their happiness is your happiness.

Spot-on! It's a shame that these two eclipsed the stories in the News Shopper about George Small and Josh Callaghan who were obviously decent people, not criminals. I hope the taxi driver makes a full recovery as soon as possible.

My condolances to the families of the 2 lads tragically taken in a moment of madness, no words can describe what you must be going through. To the small minded individuals posting the negative comments on this site I would ask "have you never made a mistake?". True friends would act with a bit more dignity and respect for the families of the deceased. Also, please take the time to think of Terry, the 61 year old driver who was so severely injured he may never be able to use his arm again, a man that was simply out earning an honest living as a mini cab driver to provide for his family. His life has also been taken, but he's still around to feel the pain mentally and physically. I may seem a little harsh but the reality is that it's the people left behind that suffer the most, fiends, family and survivors alike.

Rick, firstly are your comments not only wrong but to be laughed at. I’d like to quote what you said. "Raised properly and taught respect for other people’s property” if YOU was "raised" properly maybe you wouldn’t be commenting on two young boys whose lives were lost? And also to "respect" is what you also added in your little rant. if you had any respect yourself, maybe you wouldn’t be putting your little small minded heartless comments on this website which to be honest id LOVEEEEE to see you say that in front of the poor families of these boys. it makes me sick how some people are banging on about how these two boys are 2 scum bags off the street but if anyone was the scum bag here it would be you. I’d also like to ask a question.. Do you have kids yourself? Because god forbid if you **** do! Would you have the same opinion if that was your child? “They stole a car and died but they deserved it??” I HIGHLY doubt it. They did steal a car but they didn’t deserve what happened not even the taxi driver but they paid with their lives. So show some respect of these two young lives lost as it was an accident. They didn’t intend to kill themselves or their friends. Come on now cut the bullshit and stop staying stuff that you have no right to. so please, your just a small minded little man who from what ive read is the biggest hypocrite and **** around.. So yeah, do you and everyone a favor... just shhhhh now yeah? Or **** off because your words mean nothing behind a computer... . But you are right at one thing.. Everyone has their right to an opinion. However, if you have that much of an opinion.. Tell it to these families who have lost their sons let’s see how valued your "opinion" is then!!

Well Alicia, i'd love you to stand up and say you're "accident" comments in front of the family in the papers whose 3 children were killed by a joyrider. Of course they didn't deserve to die and i doubt very very much they intended to hurt anyone else. However time for you to shhhhh now and show some respect for all the families who have lost relatives to joyriders.It's one thing to pay you're respects but bloody insulting reading you describing it as an accident. Would you have any sympathy if joyrider's had crashed into the 2 lads? I doubt it very much. Pay you're respects by all means but use a little tact and see the bigger picture , they were not innocent victims! They were victims of they're own stupidity who put other driver's lives at risk, as sad and tragic as it is that is the reality. Whilst it isn't right some of the nasty comments left on here, it's probably alot more distressing for anyone who lost an innocent relative to joyriding reading you're comments justifying it.

FACT hundreds of innocent people are killed every year on our roads by dangerous driving, do you think it's ok to upset their relatives? Believe me it causes them distress, when some idiot claims stealing a car and driving at 60mph on the wrong side of the road,is a mistake or an accident! I doubt very much any of the people responsible for these deaths set out with the intention of hurting others! and i doubt they were really nasty people. However they wreck innocent peoples lives! In this particular case the boys paid with their lives for their own stupidity! A very very harsh sentence but ulimately one that no one else but themselves are responsible for. The other driver didn't have a choice, like all the other innocent victims claimed every year. This a news paper commenting service which entitles EVERY opinion, not a rememberence book or a tribute site. The reason so many people have left not so nice messages, is everyday they open the paper, or listen to the news, they are met with tales of lives taken or ruined as a result of incidents like this one! Understandably they are outraged and have had enough! If you don't like people speaking their mind then i would suggest a newspaper commenting service really isn't the sort of thing you should be usung!

Gooner, i would jst like to point out i have never and will never think that what these boys did was right and i take your point that there are a lot of innocent people who suffer because of the actions of others, my point was that some of the comments were aimed directly at the families of these boys, ie in so many words, they are proberly out of work social scrounging scum,and just because they have a big family that are leaving comments thats bad as well, i dont understand people that get so personal,it was'nt the families that drove that car but it seems that they are getting attacked because of it, as i said you teach your kids right from wrong and hope thay live by it but who knows what they get up to when they are out,think of a kid that you believe to be nice polite and well behaved do you know what they get up to when they are not in your sight, no you dont, so why do people make judgements on these families, ialso do think people should speak their minds but some of the comment towards these families are wrong and i stand by that, i would also like to know what i wrote that would distress any innocent victims families as this was not intended, im speaking up for the families of these boys not the boy's.

I can guarantee your the type of rat that runs from your pals if they get into trouble or walks from them if they are in need... Larry weren't. Like i said at his funeral he was the first one there and the last to leave and has been there for me alot. That i would class as much more of a hero than you could be going by your petty comments.

People make mistakes, sure you aint! Dont steriotype people you dont know because you end up mugging yourself off. He was no career criminal just a boy. now jog on back to your fantasy world and try to pull your head out of your **** on the way.

Having been robbed myself I take a hard line against useless teenagers and parents who couldn't care less about what they're children do. The parents can take comfort in knowing that no one else was killed such as the innocent man.

All you doing is proving how shallow and narrow minded you are. You don't know the facts therefore you cannot judge. This page means ****... They could not even get Jay's last name right.

Karma maybe the reason that they died but they hell sure didn't deserve it. especially for their families and loved ones sake…

So why don’t you move on from this and concentrate on your own mistakes and not somebody else’s. maybe you’re jealous because you have not got the guts to do what they did. Think about it….

The parents can take comfort in knowing that no one else was killed such as the innocent man. They were punished and quite rightly!!
No one cares about your robbing experiances. Like you don't care about the people that died.

So every year you're going to come out with the same **** as the before. We've heard it all before. 'They deserved it...' Get it over it. It's only bothering you.

Yeah I also feel sorry for the person that had their car stolen. Just to think they can never drive that car again and they have to go all the way to replace it. Don't feel sorry for the parents. They can easily replace their children with insurance.

Why are they being portrayed as heroes rather than thieving scum. They stole a car, no doubt they were speeding. The only saving grace is that they did not kill an innocent party by their selfish criminal activities. Good riddance 2 less criminals to be supported by the state.
Well arent you a cleaver one? How long did it take you to work that one out? Heroes, because you don't know what they were really like... This news paper could not even get their names right. Don't believe everything you hear...

What's the point of arguing? It's not like you are going to get the message through to Jay or Larry. They are in their afterlife now and they are not looking back…

Is this what you do? Cause aggravation on venerable people who have lost loved ones. Do you really think we care what you think?

All you doing is proving how shallow and narrow minded you are. You don't know the facts therefore you cannot judge. This page means jack... They could not even get Jay's last name right. 'Hay' 'Sonny-barry'.

Karma maybe the reason that they died but they hell sure didn't deserve it. especially for their families and loved ones sake…

So why don’t you move on from this and concentrate on your own mistakes and not somebody else’s. maybe you’re jealous because you have not got the guts to do what they did. Think about it….

This was over a year ago now, why cant you just let the families move on with their lives? Whats done has been done, learn from the mistakes, let the families greive and bury these arguments....

At least someone is on a clear thinking level. Unfortunately we're going to have them sad basment dwellers causing chaos on thier Facebook page by 'trolling' it. Looks like they are finding it hard to deal with their deaths.
