So much info on the London attacks yesterday (and my question still stands: why is it OK for a non-Iraqi to attack London for Britains involvement in Iraq (supposedly) but it is not OK to go after non Al Queda groups by the US and Britain?), but, and this should make the Lefties seethe, a suspected 7/21 bomber was shot and killed by armed police officers in London. Now, that might sound a bit redundent, but it is highly unusual for police to carry firearms in Britian.
Police shot and killed a man wearing a thick coat at a London subway station Friday, a day after the city was hit by its second wave of terrorist attacks in two weeks.
The man died after being shot by officers at the Stockwell subway station in south London, police said.
Passengers said a man, described as South Asian, ran onto a train at Stockwell station in south London. Witnesses said police chased him, he tripped, and police then shot him.
Why did they shoot and kill him, instead of offering discussion and therapy, as the Demorats want? We wil find out shortly at the press conference scheduled for 8:30am.
But what does the "reality based community" have to say? Well, the head loon, Daily Kosbat, has completely ignored what happened yesterday. Not one post. Rove and RU-486 are more important stories to those nitwits. Any gems from the DU? Of course
Still, there were witnesses who saw the cops push this guy to the ground and pump five shots into his head at close range. Now they are surrounding a Mosque.
Yeah, sounds like Israeli tactics to fight terrorism and already all the pundits are spinning this without the facts. Even without the facts, that act by the cops sets a dangerous precedent and I can’t imagine how it will serve to thwart terrorism–rather inflate it in the Muslim community.
Don’t want Muslim killers getting madder at us, ya know.
This strikes me me with horror. This public assassination of a Muslim kid. That you can sit back comfortably and accept the official line being spun–and brush off any critical questioning as "hysteria" is exactly how citizens sanction state terror–as in Israel.

Excuse me, I am here in the good USA, and I saw the kind of hysteria that commensed after 911 and how that fear was used to fuel justification for the slaughter of thousands of innocent Muslims.
Keep that in mind when you pat your government on the back instead of questioning their policies that creates the environment–because I’ll tell you mate–
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.

Have you not noticed that in the UK we have had nothing like the hysteria that followed 9/11 in the USA (in which some 300 British people died, too, as Bush conveniently forgets)? In the UK, we have started criminal investigations; in the so-called "good" US, you decided to skip the criminal investigation and go for revenge instead – on a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks (there were no Iraqis on any of the hijacked aeroplanes). The USA is a rogue state. The UK is not a rogue state.
Funny how the loons always forget about Afghanistan. Inconvenient facts are always ignored by the leftards.
If you’ve seen Batman Begins…the kind of therapy these $(*& need is like the scarecrow does in his asylum.
