arrowhead 20 #1 Posted February 12, 2019 I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. Absolutely seething. The Star falls to a disgusting new low. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/your-say/your-say-bower-brothers-1-9577908 Multiple people dead including a child and John C Fowler from S11 has the audacity to say the murdering Bower brothers are not be blamed but their environment. And unbelievably the Star published it. What about the victims' families still trying to recover from this event? How would you feel if your family was wiped out by these two and you had to read this?? I may send a letter on how i would prefer S11 to be under Caliphate rule. Let the Star publish that. I suspect the disgust there would be far greater than shown towards this lunatic and his views and indeed the Bower brothers generally.

Waldo 96 #2 Posted February 12, 2019 Surely they want to publish anything that is controversial, as that kind of content will drive more attention to their website / newspaper. Thus, they make more money... Ironically, by bringing attention to the article, you are a part of that process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
willman 10 #3 Posted February 12, 2019 Isn't that what a portion of the populace believe and blame everything on - thieving,drug dealing,knife crime, its never the offenders fault it's always the fault of society and the environment they live in.

Detetcive 10 #6 Posted February 12, 2019 "John C Fowler Leverton Gardens S11 It is good that the Bower brothers are behind bars. This will protect the public and be of long-term benefit to the Bowers. However, to blame them for their crimes is unfair. They have been reared in dysfunctional homes. The mental turbulence in their minds will be considerable. Such turbulence, for want of a better word, leads to criminal behaviour. If the Bowers had been conditioned in more favourable surroundings, they would have expressed less criminality. The collective human mind is becoming more and more chaotic as it is awakening out of its unconsciousness. More people, like myself, are slowly recognising that we are progressing towards a higher, purer consciousness. But this won’t be easy. The “global mother” is in much pain as she is in labour. But at least she knows that her baby will be delivered safely. God will not allow His child to be harmed. Until the birth, we must wait calmly and allow the baby to come when it is ready. As for the Bower brothers, if you point the finger at them, you point it at yourself. Remember the words of Jesus of Nazareth, who truly sacrificed himself for his friends (i.e.the entire human race): “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” " Full text of the letter.

I suspect the disgust there would be far greater than shown towards this lunatic and his views and indeed the Bower brothers generally. The girl who killed my brother (and was eventually found guilty of manslaughter, but even that's a joke when you consider that she will be out in just over 4 years and able to drive again) tried every trick in the book to blame her upbringing for why she did what she did. There is no excuse for it - you get in a car with the intent of causing mischief, mayhem, misery and you derserve everything you get. Sadly, it's never enough for the families who lose their loved ones because of a stupid, senseless act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
