What would offend you?

[Hazell B]

This afternoon I was at an auction which included the court drawings (the ones they do for TV news) and some related evidence from the Woodgate and Bowyer Leeds Utd court case. For those who don't remember, it was one of those footballers having better lawyers than the poor slobs they beat up/run over/steal from/rape type cases and they were found not guilty - much to most peoples' disgust.

Anyway, once I'd spotted the items I lost all interest in buying anything at the auction and in fact went home empty handed. It was the first time I'd used that auction house and I won't be going back.

Somehow it bothered me that somebody is making money out of that sort of thing, and that the auctioneers had highlighted it as a star lot among the others (which were 95% dross to be fair). Who'd want a piece of evidence signed with "well done mate" etc by some footballer's mates? It's horrible.

If it had been from 50 years ago, I wouldn't have minded. Don't know why. Maybe it was because it was within spitting distance of the (guilt free) assault, maybe it's because I just hate (not guilty) thugs.

Either way, would it bother you? If not, what would? A McCann family photo from Portugal, a chunk of River Pheonix vomit prised from outside The Viper Rooms or maybe an original Hitler oil?

I don't think that would offend me really. Bowyer and Woodgate are good footballers, but yes - they got off VERY lightly!

I find that a bit distasteful, personally. And I agree about the passage of time making such things seem fine. That's just natural.

Are they?!!!! ;)

I find it distasteful but it doesn't offend me as such. A lot of people are on some facebook group saying that Ian Huntley should be struck off facebook (although I don't see any evidence that it is 'the' Ian Huntley) but I don't really see why it's disgusting that he should be allowed to use a social networking site on which you have to agree to make someone your friend. Afterall if you are happy to plaster your details all over the internet then you should accept the fact that occassionally they may be looked at by some unstisfactory peoples.

Isn't the Ian Huntley account on facbeook done by some fanatical woman that visits him in prison and then contacts the world on his behalf?

I have to say I think that's greatly in bad taste indeed.

[Garry Walker]

Doesn`t offend me the slightest.

The court drawings aren't something I'd want to own, and I do find it odd that someone would buy them, but it's not something I'm offended by, as such. Mystified, perhaps.

I never knew that court drawings were saleable. I assumed that they were part of court records and just sat gathering dust in an archive.
Some people collect copies of autopsy reports as well - apparently Alex Ferguson has a copy of JFK's.

For me, it's the fact of their being signed in the way described that's rather off-colour. Otherwise, I suppose court drawings are just another thing that some people might want to collect.
