Do you dislike Randolph Turpin as a man because of what he did? (Explanation below)

I live not to far from Turpins home town and a couple of blokes I worked with in the past both said that in the 60s Randy would go up town at the weekend and start fights with the local nutters . I obviously don't know the details but I think drink had a big part in this .

 

Yes, I met him and he shtooped my wife, drugged my children and stole my car in 20 minutes.

 

What did he do?

 

He kicked my dog, also.

 

If these actions can be excused, what can’t be!?

 

Shtooped LOL

 

I don’t know him, I wouldn’t do what he did that’s all there is to it here.

 

See there and they say men can't multi task.

 

I knew Pete Price and visited him many times, he was a Club fighter, spared with them all and hung with them for years, he said the same things, though it wasn't stated in a derogatory sense, more just part of the territory, areas they lived in and par for the course...

Pete too believed it was Suicide and not Murder as many had speculated over the years, he said "Randolph was done, he'd had enough"... he blew his money, got into debt, was forced to work shitty jobs and sadly got into debt with Solomons. Pete also mentioned the 'heavies' from London showed up a few times regarding such debt and on one occasion gave Randolph a right good going over.

Turpin was just a street kid made good, he was not equipped for sound decisions that could have forever changed his life, no difference too millions of Working Poor Hard Hit areas populations, who just think money is for the spending... His family were rough, from a rough environment, seemingly his sister Joan was the worst.

the good news is, his families in more recent decades have come up alright and they have much to be proud of.

GOD Rest his Soul. Mercy.

 

He obviously wasn't well at the end of his life,it doesn't make me dislike the man,just feel sorry for the circumstances.Its tragic.

 

He was clearly not in his right mind when he shot his Daughter and then himself.

 

There's no forgiving to that action,yet it makes him a tragic character,from beating p4p great SRR to murdering himself from debts.
