well, the little old lady in the wheelchair shoulda stopped and submitted to the strip search and rectal exam.

then, after they found the autographed osama knitting needles, they shoulda plugged her.

It's always those little old ladies in the wheelchairs!  That's why I tied up my grandma and locked her in the closet.  The rest of the family got all teed off at me, but I know.  She's up to somethin'!

How would general firearm ownership have stopped the police from offing an innocent bystander by mistake?

The only thing this perp was innocent of was carrying a bomb. He was guilty of disobeying a police officer, evading arrest, and possibly his very existence in London was a crime....innocent indeed!

I read now that he was a legal immigrant.

It's astounding how much the information and news about this has changed. First we had reports that he was "Asian" -  likely a Pakistani, then he was not. He was carrying a bomb (wires hanging out from his waist), then there was no bomb. Then he was an illegal alien and now he was not.

I am of the opinion that I could not possibly have an opinion... yet.

Hrmmm...it's still amazing what people will accept to help them feel safer...

If you are referring to the death of the Brasilian in London, it may seem amazing to you that Londoners "accept" this tragic death because you are comfortably removed from the terror that Londoners know.

The death was tragic. The fact is, police believed he was about to detonate a bomb on a crowded transit.


I hope you are not suggesting that London cops *****foot around doing "PC"  "random" checks of the bags of old ladies and pretty young white girls like NYPD is doing.  It won't happen in London, because the fear of reality is greater than the fear of appearing politically incorrect.

When Muslim terrorists hit the New York subways, the "PC" stuff will be overtaken by reason there as well.  But don't take my word for it, wait and see.  The same goes for Australia, because human nature is the same all over.  You can be smug about the effect fear has on people only if you are far away from the action.

I found it very interesting that liberal politicians joined the conservatives in America in extending the Patriot Act.  I think we can attribute that directly to the London bombings.  

The liberal politicians gnashing their teeth against the Patriot Act didn't want to risk making voters angry... fear of another sort.

None of which are capital offences in the UK. He was a victim of circumstance compounded by his own actions... but did not deserve to die.

Agreed, his offenses did not warrant the death penatly, but he was not innocent by any definition. Sad that some ignorant immigrant died unecessarily, but the responsibility for the event rests 100% on the shoulders of the deceased. The police were acting according to their instructions and based upon the perp's actions, I'd bet that had he stopped running and put his empty hands in the air he'd be alive today.

Yep he was innocent of all charges except one. Being an idiot. Sadly cost him his life but to honest I'd have the done the same as those police given the current situation. They were in a no win situation. Damned if they did damned if they didn't, and he had been a bomber nutjob.

Its sad but he could've just stuck his hands up as has been said and he'd be alive today!

It is a tragedy but i agree that he did the wrong thing, at the wrong time, at the wrong place.
