Absolute Twats!

20 year old Hollie Gazzard was stabbed to death on Tuesday evening as she worked at a hair salon in Gloucester. According to the BBC website her ex-boyfriend has been arrested for killing her.

Unfortunately that isn't the worst of this whole sorry saga. As Miss Gazzard was bleeding to death on the pavement outside the salon being treated by a paramedic, several twats stopped and filmed her dying on their fucking mobile phones.

Police have had to release a statement warning people not to upload the footage to the internet.

I hope her ex rots in Hell for killing her, but strangely I find the actions of these twats with mobile phones just as bad. What possesses a human being to film another human being dying? Isn't that just the worst thing you've ever heard?

It probably isn't illegal but the police should identify these twats and post their names on the internet - I'd happily stab any of them and see how they like being on the other end.

The world is going to shit.

It is indeed Nat, Wankers.

I think the title of the thread sums the guy who killed her and the cunts who filmed it perfectly.

Makes my blood boil thinking of them doing it, to let a dying woman lie there and film it is just disgusting.

I agree, low life scum.

I read the article in the Daily Mail when first published, hadn't realised that people were filming this! 

I'm lost for words, I really am.

Obviously, video evidence can be beneficial from the public to aid the police, but to video it, when the poor girl is apparently dying, is sick!

Don't understand it myself - and my thoughts are just the same as everybody's above - but there seems to be a whole generation of people attached so much to their monibe phones, that they can't seem to function without them - and to snap or film something without a thought comes naturally to them.

A good mate of mine who is in his fifties had just come back from a weeks holiday and decided to bore me to death showing me pictures of it.  The thing that shocked me though was that the pictures were numbered and that the ones he was showing me was something like 2,864 to 2,890 - or something very similar to that.

Nearly 3,000 snaps on a mobile!

Christ I've got about seven on mine - and they were what my daughter took just to check that the camera was working in the first place.

I know I'm out of step with those younger than me but I thought I was broadly in line with most of a similar age to me - clearly not!

Why anyone would spend what most amount to many hours, snapping away on their mobile, to presumably share their pictures on their social networks, is simply beyond my comprehension.  I don't find my own life that interesting - why then would I find someone elses riviting - and further more why would they think I or anyone else would be interested in a picture of what they had for breakfast, or their latest trainers, or a girl that had just been stabbed?

I don't get it myself - but I do know I'm very much in the minority on these sorts of things these days.

The thing that worries me more is why people nowadays feel like they have the right to pick up a knife and start stabbing someone possibly because the girl has dumped them, it just seems down right selfish for a moments madness.

I'm not that much older than this guy who used the knife but I would never think to do something like that.  It just seems like the people who are growing up nowadays possibly from the last 10 years seem to be much more violent if you get what I mean.

I think there's definitely more cowardly violence in the world. I have no problem with two grown men settling their differences with their fists - or two women.

But it seems men aren't men anymore and they tool themselves up with knives and guns because they're too soft to do it the old fashioned way. Half these so-called gangsters wouldn't have lasted two minutes in the 1930s.

Ponces.

This generation is built on negativity, faceless prejudice, vanity and superficiality.

True.

Like Natasha has said with them all being cowards which is true.

If they all had a punch up to sort out their differences, at least they would have a better chance of waking up the next morning with a black eye or something and not on death doors due to some maniac stabbing you multiple times.

Agreed they are twats but even worse is if they do release the footage onto the net it puts the court case against the ex boyfriend in jeopardy and he could actually get away with it!!!

It's called having no respect for fellow human beings. There's taking the piss then there's the church of the poisoned mind!!

Unfortunately, the UK is now going down the same road as most of the under-developed world, in which life is getting cheaper, usually because there are so many of us. As with all things, technology just speeds this process up, and everyone can see how we are becoming very self-centred and selfish. I cant help but wonder where we, the older generation (or two), went wrong, to bring up such disgusting people. what's worse, is that they don't even realise how bad their behaviour is.

I agree that it's disturbing and horrid that these people decided to film what was going on.

But at the same time I am wondering what it is specifically that i dislike. Is ot just an inbuilt morality thing that tells us its not right?

Question.
If you saw someone struggling in the water as you walked over a bridge and the emergency services were attempting a rescue, would you film it?

Or would you mind if someone filmed it? clearly lots of people would pick up a camera and start recording.

If the person died you might just have filmed someone drowning. But if they save her you just filmed a rescue and i am sure we all would be happy with that.

Now imagine if the paramedics had miraculously saved the stabbing victim. The camera people would have a different headline in the paper.

MOMENT STAB VICTIM MIRACULOUSLY SAVED CAUGHT ON CAMERA.

Would we all feel as bad about it then?

I totally agree with what you are saying but the problem is that those people who were there it seems that they would sooner whip the phone out to record it than help by phoning for the emergency services or helping in anyway they can.

It seems that a lot of our younger generation is lacking in a brain or just general common sense.
