Some of you may have heard about this when it happened a couple of weeks ago. 5 people were killed; 3 out of the 4 boys in the car that was driving the wrong way down the M4, and 2 innocent people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Today the funeral took place of one of the boys. There is no question that these were generally not nice people. They were well known around here, and not for good reasons. The driver of the car had only just got out of prison for a similar offence.
If this was my child, of course I would be devasatated, but I would not have a funeral involving a horse drawn hearse fgs. Why would you want to draw attention to yourselves at this time? The way some people around here have been talking about these boys makes it sound like they were killed in some sort of tragic accident, not killed because of their own recklessness. There were floral tributes for them placed on the bridge above the motorway ffs
The wake for this boy has been going on across the road from my house since 4ish. The police have been to the pub about 5 times. They are obviously expecting trouble. And to be honest I feel like going across the road and telling these people my views in no uncertain terms.
AIBU?
I must say that I am NOT a DM reader, and hate the fact that this is making me feel / sound like one...
