London bombed again!, Not as bad Options

[Mark Henry]

Just saw it on the TV! (CBC news)
Two weeks to the day.
Minor damage this time, but they (reporters) don't know much other than it was 4 bombs...3 in the tube and one bus.

I think if they catch the fuckers they should bring back public hanging...Or maybe have them drawn and quartered.

QUOTE So, apparently, they allow summary executions with no evidence of wrong-doing in the UK, now. I'd say it's a really bad time to be in the UK and not be white. Having lived in the UK for four years I developed strong opinions on the British police. They are extremely mature, professional and very well trained, in fact I believe better trained than in most countries as they have to rely (typically) on their brains to sort out situations, as they arise, i.e., they don't normally carry firearms. They would simply not shoot someone without cause and if they did there would be a formal enquiry to figure out what exactly went wrong. On the other hand running into a tube station, after being challenged to stop by the police, wearing a heavy coat in the middle of the summer, especially after what happened yesterday, isn't a very smart move.

I agree with Randal. I have spent time in London as well. I think we will learn more about this pursuit and subsequent shooting. If they had postive id and he was running into a train who knows if he had C4, etc strapped on him. I think they did what was prudent to save lives from a potential attack.
