There is so much wrong with this.
VH's family are putting floral tributes up on a wall which isn't where VH died, but opposite the poor victim's house. To me that is intimidation and harassment. If they wanted to put flowers where he died, they would have done so right next to the spot where he actually died, in the next road.
And if they were truly grieving VH, surely they wouldn't have the time to keep going back and putting flowers up again and again every time they are taken down. Wouldn't they be so upset at the loss of their loved one they'd be helping his kids through their grief and coming to terms with what happened? It seems like a game to them. Everytime their vile flowers are taken down, they just keep going back with more, and not even to the place where he died. To the place directly opposite where dear VH was threatening an elderly couple with a screwdriver because he was a bully. Now they're carrying on that bullying by their actions now.
I think most people realise they are putting those flowers up not because they want a shrine to good old VH, but to intimidate the real victim in all this, RO and his wife. But how do the police prove that? I don't know. I think I read yesterday that the police were urging members of the public to stop tearing the flowers down each time they went up. I think what they should have done was told the Vincent family to stop putting their flowers up on that fence.
I think if VH's family had any ounce of decency in them, they wouldn't have put those bloody flowers up in the first place, right outside RO's home. Even if they are grieving a husband, father, son, surely they would also realise what a piece of shit he was to go and rob an elderly couple armed with a screwdriver and it wouldn't be right to do what they're doing.
But they clearly haven't got any decency, and this isn't about putting flowers up to help them to mourn/grieve. There's ways they could do that whilst also acknowledging that RO and his wife are victims.
Sorry, I feel like I@m rambling and repeating myself, and there is probably a much more articulate way of putting down my thoughts.
RO and his wife are the victims here, they've been forced out of their home and may well live in fear for the rest of their lives. THey should have been allowed to live their last years in some kind of peace, especially given that she has dementia and they are both already suffering, living with that. Instead, they will probably have to move away from their friends, family and home and area they know. Because of that, VH doesn't deserve a public floral tribute anywhere, especially not right outside their home.
I hate people like VH so much. I hate that we live in a society where their families are made up of generations that are going to go down the same road as the ones before them. Because you start of feeling sorry for them as kids - but then how much sorrow can you have when they become adults and start committing violent crimes, and crimes against the elderly and vulnerable?
Sorry if this hasn't made much sense. My 18 year old DS has aspergers and is vulnerable and I spend most of my life worrying that he's going to be victim to some wanker like VIncent, and I hate the fact that so many people already are.
