A report on the matter of two car thieves who committed suicide fleeing from Police, said 'a police chase went horribly wrong”. Not necessarily.
Logic says it was a win/win situation. The stolen car has been recovered and presumably the insurance will replace it.
The innocent community is no longer in danger of being crashed into by these bad drivers. The thieves have been spared a lifetime of rejection and degradation. They do not have the humiliation of being shown up in court.
The tax payer won't have to pay for a court hearing, legal aid, and corrections supervision. Because they were not at work the past week it can be presumed they were on some benefit or other or else a trail of criminal activity which will now cease.
The only people who had any control over this incident were the two anti-social people who died. They made choices every step of the way and they can be presumed to intend the consequences of their actions. The only people who should be sad are the two extended families who are left to regret….
