Serious things you shouldn't laugh at

Erfurt latrine disaster - Wikipedia

 

The Erfurt latrine disaster occurred on 26 July 1184, when Henry VI, King of Germany (later Holy Roman Emperor), held a Hoftag (informal assembly) in the Petersberg Citadel in Erfurt. On the morning of 26 July, the combined weight of the assembled nobles caused the wooden second story floor of the building to collapse and most of them fell through into the latrine cesspit below the ground floor, where about 60 of them drowned in liquid excrement.

A sexual assault trial has collapsed after one juror fell asleep and a second revealed he had not been able to hear crucial evidence.

 

The entire jury in the case at Sheffield Crown Court was discharged on Monday after a string of problems the trial judge described as "astonishing".

One juror was discharged last week after several people in court noticed he had been falling asleep.

 

The judge said it had been established the juror had missed "important evidence" due to nodding off.

What a bizarre thing to do. Would have been funny if it'd landed on the lad.

[Trumo]

From that article:

 

It is believed a chainsaw was used to topple the tree

 

You don't fucking say!

[A Red]

He needs hanging from a tree overnight by his ankles for that. The cunt.

[Edward.]

Really upset about this, however someone on local news said it can grow back.

[Poor Scouser T]

Cunt knew the significance of this tree. Punishment should reflect that.

[Lee909]

Fuck all will be done to him. 

Should get the little cunt doing significant community service with someone like the wildlife Trust planting trees. 

 

Oh then make his chainsaw part of him

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Horrible little scrote 

 

Ill never be able to watch Prince of Thieves without point out at the tree and saying it’s been cut down that. 

[Stouffer]

Sycamore Gap is close to where Mrs. Stouffer is from, hundreds of people have had their ashes spread there.

 

Horrible and needless thing to do.

[stringvest]

His jolly jape deserves a fucking good hiding.  Preferably with a tree.  Stupid little cunt

[M_B]

He's fucked now. He'll always be 'the cunt who cut down the tree'. May as well go and live in Russia.

Good to see young people getting out the house and doing something.

Madness isn’t it. I’ve a few in my garden he can do if he’s bored. I have no idea why people get so arsed. Nobody has been hurt or killed. It’s mad that hat it’s even news. 
I saw about people having their ashes scattered there but so what, they’ll have blown away by now anyway.
