As the joker says is it just me or is it getting crazier out there?
These drivers keep leaving their keys in the ignition and engine running. Stupidity
I saw the video of the Amazon driver battling two would be thieves, Filmed by the customer. I remember thinking it’s only a matter of time till one of these guys is killed. My heart goes out to the victim and family. And God bless those who tried to help him.
Its going to get worse.
RIP poor guy.
We need to stand up and protect everyone am a born n bread britsh man and seeing reckless people like this will cause people not to feel safe uk is going down a slippery slope the system needs fixing asap !!!!
Leaving the van running with keys in the ignition is intrapment is it not???
So senselessly a life taken from a man just trying to do his job. Is this even a developed country anymore 😢
I bet you the killer was totally living off of benefits.
Have you noticed most crimes, like this, are done by people living off of benefits.
Thx Tony B
UK has become dangerous to just go to work and do everyday things. Government need to wake up and look at root causes urgently. They owe the country who elected them to look after basic law and order
wtf is going on in Britain! The police are locking up people for posting on Facebook, when there are daily murders going on. Only yesterday, a young mother was stabbed to death on her way to work in Crawley by a homeless asylum seeker.
This country has become an empirical toilet. The only sensible plan at this point is to leave at the nearest opportunity.
Now watch the killer get 20 years
Life for a life
Soon catch him if he posted on Facebook. 10 year sentence for Facebook crime. Community service for manslaughter whilst nicking a van
Think it's time for capital punishment
Hope the driver wasnt english
Amazon won’t have to pay anything out because they will claim he should not have attempted to tackle the thief and if he left the vehicle unlocked that would have been a sackable offence.
There’s a reason why they pay zero tax. They know how to weasel there way out, just like insurance companies.
Van can be replaced, your life cant be.
He left the keys in the ignition when it was making the delivery big mistake cost him his life they are supposed to have the keys on a long chain attached to them .
This is truly shocking, when a man doing his job is killed, it just sums up britain today. All we hear of is stabbings, murders, gun crime and shop raids. What's happening to this country. I can speculate as many others, but we are told 'crime is at its lowest'! Just who do they think they're kidding. It's worse than ever and we all know why. Deepest condolences to this man's family. This should never happen. It's tragic.
Yes and naw they don’t mention was Romanian driver, with kids at home
What a horrendous thing to happen i buy things ifc Amazon and theres about three different drivers that deliver to me they are all
Prompt cheerful drivers so sorry to this man's family and Amazon its self ,stay safe.
All the drivers need personnal alarms and to br instructed even if it wastes a few seconds, lock your van door it isnt worth diving in passenger side to stop them, your only going to get seriously injured or like this chap killed RIP driver.
It's really sad how these delivery drivers face such dangers just doing their jobs. They deserve way more respect. 😢💔
RIP claud, lovely man absolute gentleman
When i seen their latest Buzz Word "THUG" I already knew they had the thiefs name and identity and he was a white working class kid.😮
Poor poor man.
This is absolute tragic for him and his family.
What is happening in the UK , it is changing beyond recognition.
Britain IS broken.
Two 'men' arrested. Justice must be seen to be done.
The van driver that lost his life was Romanian! God rest his soul!😢
This is more common than you think and the reason people do it is because it's only theft of a motor vehicle and 1 count of mail theft so they only get 12 months max when in fact they should be done for each individual person they stole from because that's who them parcels belong to.
No law here. People can steal, murder and do whatever they want. But pepperspray is illegal if you want defend yourself
Usual suspects.. oh wait..
Shocking!
Oh …a thug,??
Leeds hmmmm
Why if a British person is killed that is the first thing mentioned in an article and if the person who was killed in UK is from another country is no mention from which country the person was? We definitely have a fault in the system
Killed for a minimum of wage ,sick
Correct me if am wrong the suspect if caught and convicted he’s coming out in less than 5 years!
Nobody is asking the big question. 60 years ago, a bobby patrolling would have seen this and the police responce immediate. We had a murder in Rotherham a few days ago, and another a few weeks ago, both high traffic areas. Why arent bobbies patrolling?
The murderes look to be British. Maybe they killed the poor man because they wanted jobs or extra money and there were no job vacancies at Amazon as foreigners stole their jobs. RIP
