afraid to say it sounds like yet another hit & run.

Forge News still has it as a hit & run but twitter is full of tweets about a shooting which all seem to be based on the sheffield tab story

I sincerely hope that it's the hit-and-run story that is correct, as opposed to a shooting :-/

 

The hit & run story is more precise with timings, i passed at 1:15am and the road was closed.

It was a hit & run. I've no idea where the Tab got the idea it was a shooting from, presumably thin air.

 

They've edited it now to take the made up stuff out. Not much left, if I'm honest.

Why is a hit and run preferable to a shooting?

Why is a hit and run preferable to a shooting?

 

Because a mistake that someone has abandoned is preferable to gun crime?

Gun crime usually has a targeted victim resulting from some dispute between the parties.Whilst this is not good and in no way can be condoned,I would feel more sympathy for an innocent victim of of a hit an run incident.

Were the victims of Derrick Bird to do with a dispute with him? Or Raoul Moat? Was it okay for Dale Cregan to have guns to shoot two police officers as well as others?

No.And I did say usualy.Especialy in recent gun crime localy.But I would say that hit and run victims are always inocent victims.

Excellent qualification-I think you're spot on here.In my view a hit and run driver is even worse than someone using a gun.

I'd say with a hit and run, said person who has done the running will probably drive more careful in the future.

 

Whereas if someone had shot someone else, there is a very good likeliness that they will re-offend.... May be not to the same extent.

But I do agree with the notion that people who are shot, generally have put themselves in that position.

 

Either way, neither are good scenarios.
