Manhunt For The London Nail Bomber: David Copeland Unmasked | Killing Spree | Absolute Crime 

Imagine spending your whole life hating on people that you don't even know. What a waste living your life like that.

My sister walked past the Admiral Duncan seconds before the explosion - she was on the edge of the blast. Brings it home that these acts harm real people with lives, families and friends.

I worked the night of the Nail bomb in the west end that hit the Admiral Duncan. We had over bomb 14 threats to the gay bar i was running security for. My colleague didn't come in so I ran it on my own working with the owners. That night was so traumatic, thousands of people terrified. I wouldn't have been anywhere else that night! Lost friends. I won't be watching this, but glad it is made!😢

How does this channel not have more followers and views? What a great little documentary, hope this page picks up because you deserve the traffic

Thank you for posting!

Nobody in the family had any idea that Dave was capable of something like this.

How can you get 6 life sentences and have a chance to get out in 40 years! Our judicial system is madness! He should never get out. Even if he does rehabilitate, why after killing and maiming people, should he have any chance of life on the outside again. I can't understand this! Great video yet again though thankyou

When I was in college in the late 80's I had a friend and he invited me to his place so we could have a smoke and chill out. This was in a particularly dodgy area of Glasgow, Scotland. When he opened his door, his room was covered in swastika's and other Nazi memorabilia. He then gets a record out, said "old Mr & Mrs Ruben next door don't like this one" cranks up the volume and, I kid you not it's a recording of one of Hitlers speeches. I broke his nose and left. Almost a year later he turned up at college wearing an SS uniform. I don't know why he thought that would be a good idea, but almost as soon as he went inside some of the guys that were there grabbed him and beat him half to death. I watched on in fascinated horror but nobody went to his aid. I left when they started stomping on his head. After the ambulance left, the cops went around asking some questions but everybody suddenly had amnesia and nothing more was said. Never saw him again. Shame Copeland didn't get the same treatment before he started making bombs.

To have so much contempt for people is incomprehensible

i used to drink in the Duncan and the golden lion round the corner , back in the 70s . gay bars where normal down there then . nobody would expect any violence . so sad someone would have so much hatred .

One cop said something about those who don't deserve to be as happy as him - he wasn't happy, he was sad as

I was in the Brixton market that infamous day. After getting home to my little bedsit in Clapham Common, my usual is to flick on the TV. I slumped onto the edge of my bed to seethe carnage through the market. It was hard to think. Maybe I have been helping or would I have been injured, maybe killed. It felt hard to be lucky to have narrowly missed being involved. I never told my friends.

I was too close to have been caught in the Admiral Duncan bomb. Dumb luck that I'd passed the pub minutes earlier and hadn't dawdled.

Anyone else wondering if the birds in the explosion survived?

Police, "We had no intelligence", should have asked the MI5 handlers for a photo then.

Promoted to unit leader for Hampshire and Wiltshire, this probably involved him being in charge of a unit comprising himself and another bloke called Derrick who lived with his mam and had learning difficulties

Inquisitive nature of the public.......in other words, thieves 😅

How many of these types are bullied at school Schools are useless in addressing this issue .and seem to ignore this destructive experience in young children. They really are useless in addressing and recognising this .

What a vile thing to do, all those dead and injured for what? So he was different, how many are different no excuses, cowardly and monstrous. All killers seem to have weird eyes

OMG, I remember this like it was yesterday, but I hadn't thought about this psychotic nutcase in years. It's funny how watching something can bring back all the feelings from back then.

First time I really understand that truly professional phrase about psychopaths: “dead eyes.” Wow.

Look at his eyes all life & feelings have totally gone.

Mi6 supposed to have been watching and following him. Long before the event

He is truly evil hope he didn’t try a mental illness. Defence😮

What a horrible person

I was really puzzled by the decision to use an indiscriminate weapon in a targeted attack but i remembered criminal elements are not the brightest !

Killed people because he didn't like people what a evil and sick person

I've actually met him in belmarsh in London while he was going through the system to end up In Broadmoor, his nickname was bomber, and you know people spoke to him as a normal person treated him like one of the lads.

Being alone does no good to a human. We're not built for loneliness, we need hugs, handshakes, pats on the shoulder for serotonin, oxytocin.

Aweful how these crimes are happening

I’ve never heard about this.

I got beaten up by the police outside Iceland in Brixton during the 1985 riots. Was trying to get home.

Around 13.00 This is silly people saw a suspicion bag placed hid behind the skip but couldn't inform the police and around 40 minutes later it explored 🤔

@14: or so why didn't somebody drop it in the skip and call clear area 'bomb' hence denying the device a blast scope face area and ring the police obviously they knew it was something that should not have been there because they where hiding behind the skip had I have done so I would live with he embarrassment or making a false call ,see something say something do something , or is that just my level of societal situational awareness???? @22:21 the saree center shop with a façade of military choppers with slick mounted missile and kids with sling shots am I missing something here, interesting neighborhood, yes I notice such things

I was there when the bombing on eletric avenue happened luckily I was un injured but what happened to everybody else god bless them. I really hope he is never released and he should never be released it’s sad a unborn baby lost there lives aswell. I will never forget the explosion not only you could hear the blast you really did feel it I was so lucky that day if I was a few seconds walking quicker that day I would be dead or horribly injured.

Crazy to think, he set his first bomb off just 3 days prior to the Columbine High School Massacre in the United States. Seems both countries were going through terror at the same time as each other. 🥺

You can't fix stupid why people want to cause harm and do something so evil just to kill people, create drama, and life is crazy but it's not the world. it's the people in it

Right wing socialist? Is that like hot ice? Makes me lose respect for these stories. Hitler was a marxist/socialist/fascist in that order as his ideology evolved. In the US thats leftwing not rightwing. Thats why FDR and Kennedy (when he was young) liked him so much.

Uh, my last name is copeland...

He has Dead Eyes!!!

Can’t leave a bag around in Brixton or anything around in the cesspit that is London .

I wish true crime shows would limit the use of the vile creatures names, particularly when fame & infamy is what they want!

Only 40 years? So he'll be out in his 60s? Thank you Brit justice...for nothing

For a 22 year old raised in London NOT in poverty to say that he had thought of doing this for a long time and it was his destiny is incredible. I do believe in reincarnation so maybe he was a dirty Nazi in a previous life, who knows.

Kind of wish schools paid more attention to all kids no matter what. No excuse of course for this but then having that as an excuse does make you question a bit. I’m sure many other factors made him do this

Sadly so many people are neglected. Why did his school parents and school allow him to become so isolated. I’m a very private person and avoid human contact as much as possible but I’d never do anything like that because I care so little about my fellow humans something like that would be pointless.

IT DOESN'T SAY MUCH FOR HIS PARENTS , I BLAME THE PARENTS.

MI5 had foreknowledge.

Full of hate.

So that Loser was targeting anyone,not just immigrants

Two guys were observed on a roof on Electric Avenue with binoculars on the day of penultimate bombing.

Nutcase. Entitled to his views, opinions, but clearly mentally disturbed.

Hmm, not a terrorist ofcourse

This guy proved the admiral duncan pub was too expensive, it cost an arm and a leg to go on there...

Some people hate. thats all there is to it.

So you find a bomb but stand around pointing at it not warning people darwin awards right there

1500 nails would weigh about 25 lbs . Not possible for pipe bomb unless massive.

It's not ok to offend anyone, not even criminals.

Who funded him . Obviously a drug user wouldn’t even have money for the travel let alone all the expenses mm . 💦Lone attacker

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Cultural enrichment

33:41 i think i fell in love with this smoking asian girl ❤

😂

Not a terrorist? Oh yeh his got white skin. I give,e if he was Muslim

NOT ON HIS OWN.....WAKE THE F UP

6 life sentences = 40 years that is crazy in America when they say life sentence they mean it.

Based 😂😂😂

YOUR ONLY SUPPOSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF !

Picture perfect aryan..yeah right..😅

Hemophi

London isn't just the southwest it is the UK.

NAIL DA NAIL BOMBERS ANUS‼️💪☝️✔️ YA😮

Unfair to pick on gay people

Helter.skelter.

The True Spiritualist doesn't cares who lives or dies. True, pure evil kills! Everything's garbage. If God and Jesus still loves all humanity, all people, then God /Jesus is still dying on the cross, still crying tears of blood for the victims of evil... You weren't there from the very beginning when evil planned it all....but True evil is always there...

1:52 London is dirty overcrowded and expensive. Thank you.

Combo off this is England

and who were the men on the roof watching jill dando is involved in this

In the 80s I used to go to gigs where I met young skinheads whose ideas were abhorrent to me & id spend hours with them undoing there twisted view of history one day they introduced me to the head of Australia National Socialist party In 1992 I went to this Private Hotel where a man was going through with a bunch of hoods taking it over I arrived & saw young men I knew from Boys homes led by this idiot who I knew but couldn’t place ( he was dressed as a Muslim) it was the Nazi & I called him out as being kicked out for being homosexual!!!Hes mates started laughing & I managed to defuse what was becoming a vilent situation! The police eventually took him away on warrants! Never seen him since I tell this story because vigilance is always needed

Well presented

The first bomb was sitting around the market for how long? And how many people saw it after taking it out of fhe bag? It's astonishing that the gentlemen who removed ot from tjr bag didn't call the authorities immediately. A different time, i guess.

When this happened it was shocking by the random events across London from the West End to East and South London. It is still impossible to believe that someone as young could be filled with such hatred. Even all these years later and now living overseas whenever I hear people talking about hating another group of people I remind them what such talk lead to in London. I will always pray for those killed and injured and even for Copland. There is no place for hate in this world or in the heavens and after life.

So the bomb went off during the first 6 or 7 bars of Robbie Williams' "Millennium" ?! Jeeze, THAT was lucky! 🤔 😐 😉

I'm here simply because of IELTS exam....

Interesting no tie to the IRA but a package nail bomb is a hail mark, a dangerous combo with an EDP. My question is did he study tactics of the IRA? Just wondering

There is only one reason on this planet. Human. There is no other race. Just human. Hating your fellow human is bad enough. Hating someone because of the colour of their skin is ridiculous.

👍❤👍

He wasn’t a racist he was a Socialist No member of the BNP called for bombing. Saying “ like minded “ is a disgusting thing to say

Poony, new him well didn't no he's that gon , hes brother Jonny sold him out

What is it with gay men and short sleeved white v neck t shirts? Is this the Gay Uniform?

At 7.58 you see a flock of pigeons caught in the explosion. Does anyone know if they survived?

Might not be a popular comment but when he said "I just had to do it" my first thought was that he was demon possessed. Now please dont scoff at this because I have both seen and heard these spiritual beings and it is not a joke.
