Detectives are hunting two suspects after what they described as a "horrendous" attack on Danny Pearce when he refused to hand over his property.
Refusing to hand over his watch is probably what got him killed. Very sad situation, but it probably could have been avoided.

Won't debate the decision he made, but I am shocked that this happened in the UK... sounds like something that would happen in the states. I know there is crime in the UK but this kind of senseless overt offense and violence seems out of place. Perhaps I'm naive to the level of crime in Europe.

Just terrible.

Need insurance to eliminate the mind set of putting up a fight for it and just hand it over.

Terrible story.

31. Wow.

Everyday I'm losing faith in our species. They ended a life, for money. They ruined many other lives, for money.

What and ugly monster we have the capability to become.

I agree.
Any thoughts on watch winders? Are they good?

You're right. How about another toilet paper thread?
