Brett Ewins hospitalised by police

[dracula1]

A sad situation for all involved. Hopefully family,  friends and fans will help Brett through this.

[Spaceghost]

Awful. Poor Brett.

[TordelBack]

Terrible situation, my sympathies go out both to the people who have a difficult and frequently dangerous job to do, and to Brett who I'm a huge fan of.  As often noticed, many of us here have been stalked by mental illness, either our own or that of our loved ones, even if it doesn't often end up as badly as this. 

Should also note that that was a very balanced piece of reporting, fair play to all involved.

[Jimmy Baker's Assistant]

Terrible, terrible news. Like the rest of us, I sincerely wish both of them a speedy and complete recovery.

Ewins is one of my favourite comic artists. I picked up Bad Company: Kano in the recent 2000AD shop sale and was marvelling at it only last week.

[Woolly]

Jesus...

Nothing i can add other than another wish for speedy recoveries all round.

[Taryn Tailz]

Truly shocking news. 

Wishing a speedy recovery to Brett both physically and mentally, as well as the policeman involved.

This is really, really sad.

[Dunk!]

Truly awful news.

Here's hoping for swift return to health for all those involved.

Dunk!

....two more lives ruined by violence. It's terribly sad, we read dozens of stories like this everyday in the media. It always seems to happen to someone else. Then it happens to people we care about , and it brings home to us how bad things are in the real world.

Two fellas who obviously had a lot going for themselves thrown away in a moment of irrational violence.
Sad.

[James Stacey]

really not sure what to say about this awful news.

[The Legendary Shark]

I struggle with mental health problems myself and it's a lonely, lonely battle. It's a hard thing to deal with - and a hard thing to talk about in public, even to family and friends.

My heart goes out to all involved and I pray for a speedy recovery to everyone caught up in this. Let's hope that herein lies an opportunity for Brett to get the help he needs.

Words are so damned inadequate, sometimes 

[Gonk]

All the time Sharkie.

[dweezil2]

Terrible news for all involved.
