Re: Royal Radio Prank - Nurse Dead!!!

The BBC doesn't shoulder any of the blame. They have just reported what happened and the tragic circumstances surrounding it.
This poor woman was obviously pushed off whatever ledge she was standing on by the unthinking actions of two people who thought they were playing a prank.
The fact is that they didn't believe there would be any repercussions, which isn't unreasonable but, as Gav rightly said, you never know who you're dealing with when you play practical jokes. If you throw a stone into the water you WILL get ripples. Make no mistake it was this call, and the subsequent shame and fear placed on the lady concerned shoulders (magnified greatly because of the royal connection), that lead to her taking her own life.
Did the DJ's mean to push someone to suicide? No way, but they did.....and there's no getting away from it. But - have you seen the Internet reaction to this? On the radio station Facebook page and assorted other pages. It's ridiculous, like a feeding frenzy of hate and negativity.
Society should take a hard look in the mirror. The Internet is fast becoming an unstoppable stream of filth and fury.
