Drama in /r/Brisbane when a graffiti artist dies while defacing a train. Did he deserve it? Was he actually a good guy?? And where and what is Crush City???

It's so easy to say how people who fuck up deserve what they get. that is, until you fuck up. I mean I'm fine with the logic of what happened but to say they deserved it is pretty cold.

I agree. No one deserves to die like that, not for petty crime. It's his fault, but he doesn't deserve it.

What he deserved was a fine and some community service. Instead he's left grieving friends and family. It's sad.

There's normal every day fuck ups, and then there's spectacular fuck ups like the ones that you'll see in the news/Darwin Awards. Messing around in a high voltage area so you can spray graffiti is the latter. The average person will not do something that stupid. That's why it's news.

It's really depressing that "no one deserves to die" is such an unpopular sentiment on this website.

I've noticed this too. I don't understand how people can be so unforgiving about certain things. Don't they believe that a person's value can be more than just a single shitty thing they've done? I'm not talking about this incident, even. Just that Reddit seems so fond of casting such definite judgements on others based on contextless stories so much of the time.

Crush City is a graffiti supply shop on the south side. The guy name dropping it is probably some wannabe lad who thinks petty vandalism is either artistic or badass

On the other hand, saying someone deserved death over something as inconsequential as graffiti is disgusting

I was really hoping Crush City was going to be a fetish site. This is actually disappointing.

There's a certain time of person who just looks for any excuse they can to deem a death "deserved" so they can proceed to just dump vitriol.

Actually I would. Anyone that's stupid enough to break into an area where there is HIGH VOLTAGE running between TRAINS just because they're so fucking edgy they want the world to see "Timmy was here" or whatever tag they want deserves whatever they get.

Come on down to Crush City tomorrow then, I'll gladly introduce you to some of them. The truth is he died doing something illegal, So? Was it just so an edgy cunt like yourself gets to make flippant comments from behind a keyboard? Next time one of your mates dies because they were speeding, I'll fucking look you up and parrot your cowardly words, sound fair?

This had the potential of turning into some great copypasta fodder.

everybody saying cunt

That's Australia alright.
