Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 This post is so wrong. He committed murder & orphaned two kids & no doubt caused considerable damage to other family members left behind. Whatever he did on a bike is irrelevant. he was a murderer & deserves to be remembered as such. You are right. In the whole history of the BSF there has never been a more ill-judged and yes, "so wrong" posting than the one by shazzybird you've picked up on. She reduces the murder of a young woman, mother of two to what she calls "a personal matter which REALLY is none of anyones business". I do hope even this long after posting this simply outrageous comment, shazzy will reconsider and retract such an awful and indefensible sentiment... Go down this road and you're saying that all domestic violence is acceptable, as it's a personal issue and not the business of anyone outside the home... Outrageous... I personally would be happier if the name of Kenny Carter who committed such an awful crime was not mentioned again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Parsloes - Kenny was clearly a man of many faults, who committed a terrible and indefencible act. However, he was also a hell of a speedway rider, who brought enjoyment to a lot of people (even if that consisted of booing him and hoping he got beaten!). Whether you choose to remember him for his terrible act, or whether you prefer to remember him as an incredibly talented speedway rider who, with a bit of luck, could have been World Champion, is surely an individual choice. Neither are those two options mutually exclusive. What this thread (and the may others there have been on Kenny) indicates is that he certainly won't be airbrushed from the history of Speedway or the memories of speedway fans.

I agree, whatever he was great at was overshadowed by what he did, Yeah he was obviously ill,very ill but the hero worship is a bit much.
