Unless, of course, you don't have a problem with police officers turning into the judge, jury, and executioner. The problem is one of balance. Did the suspect run from officers he knew to be armed? YES Did the suspect ignore repeated calls to stop? YES Was the suspect aware that there had been successful and attempted bombings in the last fortnight? YES (Otherwise he would be the answer all of the conspiracy theorists have been looking for) He knew the risk, he either assessed them incorrectly; and, as I said before - stupidity is not an excuse; or, he was an armed combatant and deserved to die. On the opposite side of the scales: Did the officers open fire discriminately? NO Was anybody else, except the suspect, physically hurt by this incident? NO Did the suspect give any indication of giving himself up? NO How many people actually died? ONE How many potential deaths would there have been? MANY By the way, the only way to deal with a known or suspected suicide bomber is to shoot them in the head, chest shots may activate the device, any attempts to wound them mean that they still have the capacity to detonate their device. ALL security forces are trained to use a double-tap to stop their targets... so all I can suspect is that 3 officers shot him and one of them suffered from a weapon jam. I'd like to shake their hands and buy them a nice cold pint! Did the suspect threaten anyone with deadly force? No. The suspect may have been very stupid, but nothing he did justified being shot and killed. The shooting was unjustified. Look at it as Evolution In Action - weeding out the dumb ****s who knowingly run from armed police when told to stop. Personally, if it turns out that he was involved in terrorist activities, I'd support executing his immediate family and friends too - they either knew what the **** was up to or they had their heads in the sand and these days that is just as dangerous. We should escalate the cost of becoming a terrorist to such a degree that the bomber risks all his or her family and friends, not just their own life. Certainly the people around these ****ers would then take more notice and do something to stop them. And yes, I know most of you liberal human rights ******s will call me a fascist or some other crap but I don't give a ****. I've got the right to hold this opinion as much as you have to hold the opposite and neither of us are going to change our minds so don't bother arguing with me because I ain't listening. |

No need for human rights arguments just common sense and a small degree of knowledge. Do you honestly think you ill thought out idea would reduce bombing. FFS they happily kill other Muslims in their bombings, how do they get round this - well they also become martyrs if they are good Muslims, otherwise they are infidels. Of course, only the foot soldiers believe this and the generals do not give a ****. In the light of this, perhaps you want to reconsider. |

They're happy to kill the faceless people of their own religion, but having their family and friends pay the price for their madness might make some of them reconsider. It will also make their family and friends much more likely to either stop him or turn him in to the authorities if they have to pay as well. |
