Please attempt to distinguish between extremists and non extremists to avoid starting the inevitable waste of time that is "can Islam be judged by its believers?" - KwarK | ||

High respect for these bobbies and every other policeman that does his work properly.

"No, no, please distinguish between the fruit and the tree." And why? Are not actions often preceded by ideas? One births the other. In any case, what matters is not the religion, but the backwards culture, which is tolerated and excused in the name of enlightened multiculturalism. | ||

You take out the threat it's as simple as that any means necessary. I'd rather just go through their history to try and connect the dots because they sound like crazy mofos. I doubt you'd get shit of them. I'm not familiar with the U.K. police policies, so I guess it's pretty different from here. I'm trying to recall the last policeman shooting down a criminal in Toronto. The last one I think was the Union Station fiasco which was 2004 I think? I think it was a hostage taking and a swat team member shot the guy right in the forehead. I really hope the question ''How much intel can you get out of them?'' is never a consideration when police decide to shoot someone. | ||

Ignorance breeds hate. The EDL, hilariously, have responded by... vandalising buildings and attacking police, while complaining about the attack on someone meant to "protect" us. Fantastic. | ||

Edit: At least they did the right thing and killed them, I figured the brits to be too cowardly to use actual force. User was banned for this post. | ||

Historically British troops in the UK are killed by the Irish. This is the first incident like this I've heard of. | ||

Looks like it. Going back to what you said before because it sounds like you're trying spin-doctor what I said. It's not so much of an excuse as it is protecting yourself and everyone else in the perimeter. That's why under pressure/stress if the suspect doesn't co-operate and make aggressive moves. I know cops over here will fire in certain scenarios. In this case it sounds shit was escalating quickly and there were a lot of bystanders. I'd want to get control of the situation asap. So going back to these crazy guys. What do you hope to achieve in a court case against? They got the attention they wanted and I don't think you're going to get much of anything out of them. Let's just give them a life sentence? | ||

That is why we have the right to imprison them idefinitely and they don't have the right to behead a dude. | ||

Think about it, they get free food and housing for the rest of their lives supported by the taxpayers of the very community that their crimes damaged. Is that really worse than dying? Especially if we consider the option that they weren't in fact religious extremists, but insane lunatics who may or may not feel any remorse whatsoever? It's tricky. There's a realistic standpoint to this notion, not just a purely moral-based one, and both should be considered and weighed. | ||

Considering that they believe there are a couple dozen virgins waiting for them when they die, i'd assume yes. It's worse. Never discard the effect that imprisonment can have. Especially isolated imprisonment, which they would need to be put in. | ||

Given that the guys in question were complaining about the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and they chose a military target I doubt the massively overhyped backlash against Muslims which isn't actually happening is going to be an important factor. Now if we were to invade Iran that'd probably count, a random nutjob failing to do anything to a mosque in Braintree, not so much. | ||
