If anyone ever deserved shooting it's this bastard..

I like the phrase "chose to shoot him"

Did they have a reasoned amd structured discussion weighing up all the options available to them, undertake a risk assessment and then an impact assessment to ensure that they had covered all the bases, and them come to a conclusion based on a conscensus,rational and measurable criteria ?

Or did they just pump him full of lead

They probably assessed the situation, based their decision on training and then opened fire. Contrary to popular belief US police rarely draw their firearms and y few officers have to fire them. Some Officers go through all their service without even having to draw their weapon.

Come on....

Afternoon Nigel.

I am obviously basing that on speculation, but what about that recent incident in the Sidcup bakery?

It is not going to be the same for everyone obviously.

Its all very well being able to draw them, surely they can get a photograph of them in this day and age.........

Of course it's a response. And a long and considered one at that so it is a state sanctioned murder. What's next? Rape the rapists? Cut the hands off of thieves? Stone adulterers? Sounds like the muslims have the right idea no?

No, not stone the adulterers but shag them.

Hmm, where's all the anti death penalty people now then ?

I'm here. I don't believe taking another life would make this any better.

Oh I don't know, why don't we try on you ?

 

[bhaexpress]

I'm only saying there are two sides to the story. What I mean is that what you may thnk you want at the time may make you feel worse later.

I think that given the circumstances I've mentioned most would be prepared to chance it. Still, let's hope none of us have to face that dilemma.

A tragic story but does anyone really think the possibility of the death sentence would have stopped him doing this?
