Soldato
I heard the story about 2 weeks ago, being not so far from Hartlepool, it hit the local papers before this story emerged.
When I & some workmates looked at the story, we laughed in disbelief really. How can that happen? Was the perpetrator carrying round some shaving foam in case they saw a dying woman, it's a completely bizarre story that it's shocking in a way where my own (and several others) initial reaction was to laugh in disbelief. Don't get me wrong, I didn't guffaw as if it was the funniest story ever, but a laugh took place nonetheless.
I believe that the person committing the heinous act thought the woman was a smack head, not an excuse for doing it by any stretch on the imagination, but probably relevant to the story.
I think its human nature to make fun of/laugh at extreme situations. It's certainly part of British culture looking back at serious events can you think of one where there haven't been jokes related to it?
When you put some thought into these circumstances, and even try & think 'what if it were me/my nearest & dearest', then clearly it wouldn't be worthy of a chuckle, but we wouldn't be who we are without being able to have a bit of a laugh at extreme situations. It's like laughing when you see someone fall over, and if you say you have never done that the frankly, I don't believe you
