Who are the terrorists? Who incited terror when the plain clothed men shot that Brazilian man on Friday? The “police” did. They shot an innocent man FIVE times and for what? Running from a gang of men wielding guns? Can someone tell me when running was an offence punishable by deadly force without question? More-over can someone tell me when running to catch a train was an offence punishable by deadly force without question?
Has anyone considered the fact that perhaps… just maybe… he was running to catch THE FUCKING train, just like hundreds upon hundreds of commuters every day? Has anyone considered the fact that maybe… just maybe… he was listening to a personal stereo and couldn’t hear the “police”. The guy was Brazilian, ever wondered if, even if he could hear, that he’d even understand what was being shouted at him? Those are just possibilities.
Here’s another one for you… he saw the group of men in normal clothes pointing a gun at him (remember he’s a foreigner, and in an unfamiliar country) on the underground claiming to be police but not showing any form of identification. From any way you look at it they could just as easily be terrorists than police. But hold on…. because they said they were police, everyone is meant to just believe them and do as they say? If that were the case then terrorists might as well shout POLICE FREEZE before they blow themselves up. Now what would you have done in his situation?
Now… I’ve talked a lot about people waking up and realising this is bullshit. Here’s a link to a BBC “points of view” page about the shooting. Just by reading through people’s opinions you can see which people are waking up because they’re questioning why it happened and what the bigger picture is. People who are still asleep are people who say SHIT like Eliot Meikle from Dunbar, Scotland saying:
“I have sympathies with the victim’s family, but two weeks ago over 50 innocent people died. Let’s not forget that. It was very unfortunate that this lad died, but the risk of him being guilty was just too big a risk to take. The press should support the police against terrorism, not it would appear the other way around. This lad who died was another victim in the war against terrorism, unfortunate, but true. My thoughts are with the police officer and his family.”
I cannot describe the rage that fills me when i read that fucking dozy bint cunt mother fuckers statement up there. He/she is the DEFINITION of someone who is asleep, who WILL DO ANYTHING to stay asleep (she’s asking for the press to support a complete pile of bullshit so he/she can read it and sleep soundly knowing her government is in control), and will happily be totally enslaved and walk around shouting (he/she can’t run because otherwise they’d get shot), Bill Hicks style “WE ARE FREE TO DO AS OUR GOVERNMENT TELLS US!!”
Then is the saving grace.. the knowledge that more and more people are realising that the police and government are not what they appear… such as Sophie, London:
If a British citizen was shot here or in another country then there would be outrage and no rest until the culprits were punished. This poor man, who was going about his daily business, was panicked seeing men chasing him with guns. If the police had secured him to the ground then surely one shot to disable him would have been enough.
and Amy, Manchester:
I feel very scared for our future if this can be allowed to happen in our country. Britain has lived with terrorism for years without sinking to this level of paranoia. A man has lost his life here, another innocent victim. Of course he ran away, he was obviously terrified. If an American or British man had been killed I wonder if an apology would have been enough?
I stand up and APPLAUD Robert Pugsley, Birstall, UK:
It is astonishing how many people here seem to be justifying shooting people just because they are running away. Since when was jumping a barrier a capital offence? Of course the police have a very difficult job but it is possible that they got this wrong and as a result a man died. We cannot excuse everything the police do just because of the present situation. Otherwise we may as well live in a police state.
These few people are waking up.. not fully but they’re well on their way.
The official police statement said that this man was known to “intelligence services” (i don’t comprehend how they still have the audacity to include the word “intelligence” in their title) and that he was linked to the 7/7 attacks. If this was true, why wasn’t the man apprehended BEFORE he entered the underground? And by apprehended, i mean, arrested (not shot) by surprise with little or no warning, quickly and quietly. Instead they did the fucking stupidest thing that they could possibly have done. Just think…. LOGICALLY here people… if he WAS a suicide bomber he would’ve blown himself to smitherines rather than be arrested, and he would’ve done so as soon as he knew they were police. So pulling a gun on him and telling him to freeze in a public underground station put MORE people at risk, oh and, got a lot of media attention. In my opinion i want that policeman’s badge and see him face trial for murder. But no…. get ready for this… the police are above the law now. As can be seen in plain daylight following this incident. Just look at what Met Police Chief Sir Ian Blair is saying, that more innocent people might be killed in the fight against terrorism. WAKE UP PEOPLE!! Will it really take seeing police in ski masks wielding MP5A4′s in your nearest city to wake you up to the fact that it’s now a police state we live in?
Now… this may be a tough nugget to swallow, but if you’re living in Britain or America, you’re living in a facist, totalitarian dictatorship. One which is becoming not too dissimilar to Nazi Germany 65 years ago. I’ll bet you’re having a reaction to that right now. Good. Now, look at it totally objectively… uh huh, being told we’re going to war (without majority consensus), the systematic locking down (police control and fear of the MILITARISED police) and control of the population through propaganda (the mainstream media), the gradual persecution and social distrust of a religious minority (Islam)…. oh… and let’s not forget… the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION of a foreign countries (Iraq / Afghanistan).
If all that is a bit too much for you to take in, just tell yourself “It’s not facism when we do it”, then go back to sleep knowing your government is in control. A government with a chief of police who says more innocent people might need to be shot to fight “terror”. Sleep well, and think twice about running to catch that train.
